This fall, your AI recruiter gets more adaptive, collaborative, and in your control. We’ve shipped four updates that learn from your feedback, respect company policies, and provide clearer market context — all while the FactoryFix talent pool crossed 10 million manufacturing professionals.
Milestone: 10M manufacturing professionals (and growing)
We're excited to share that the FactoryFix talent pool just crossed 10 million manufacturing professionals. To put that in perspective, we estimate we now have approximately one-third of the entire skilled trades and manufacturing workforce in our talent pool. This milestone reflects years of focused growth in these sectors, and it means more relevant candidates for your open roles. We're continuing to grow and refine the pool to ensure maximum quality and coverage.
New Features
Guide your AI recruiter’s screening conversations
If you use "Interview and dig deeper" screening, now you can add specific questions or topics you want your AI recruiter to cover during candidate conversations. Your AI recruiter will work these questions into the natural flow of the screening. No rigid scripts, just guided conversations that ensure your critical topics get addressed. You'll find this option in the screening section when posting or editing a job.

Train your AI recruiter with feedback
When you rate a candidate's score (thumbs up/down or adjust the star rating), your AI recruiter now uses that feedback to improve its evaluations for that specific job. After every 5 pieces of feedback, the system analyzes your input and automatically refines how it scores future candidates. You'll see AI-generated scoring guidance appear in purple sections within your job settings. You can remove any suggestions you don't agree with, and the system will continue learning as you provide more feedback.

Set company‑wide AI permissions
Account administrators can now set company-wide policies for how AI features work across all jobs. This includes controlling:
- Whether jobs use passive candidate sourcing or active applicants only
- Whether job descriptions stay original or get optimized for visibility
- What type of screening approach is used (dynamic, traditional, or none)
- Whether interview scheduling is enabled
When you set a policy, it applies to all jobs in your account (existing and new), and the platform enforces it automatically. This ensures consistent compliance with your organizational requirements without manual oversight on every job. You'll find these controls in Settings > Permissions.
