Turnover-IT opened its CV database via APIs, then went quiet for three months
Turnover-IT has been leaning into API-led integration with customer ATS systems: Talent Search to query the CV library from a customer's own tooling, Profile Sync to push candidate updates back into customer environments, automated competency-file generation with custom templates, and applicant-side custom questions. The feed publishes each release two or three times — an English capture, a French capture, and in some cases a second English capture with broken emoji encoding — which makes the changelog look busier than the release count. Nothing new has been published since Profile Sync on 4 May 2026.
Spark Hire is squeezing more hiring decisions out of each assessment a candidate takes.
Spark Hire's recent releases are steady workflow refinements across Recruit and its assessment suite: deadline changes and per-question retakes, notification controls, bulk selection, and now scoring one Predictive Behavioral Assessment against multiple roles. AI shows up in assistive places, such as suggested competency profiles, follow-up emails, AI Notetaker consent controls, and a beta MCP connection for querying candidate data from ChatGPT or Claude.

Nothing new has been published since Profile Sync on 4 May 2026.
The strategy visible in these releases moves Turnover-IT from a destination tool to an API-shaped service inside whatever ATS or recruiting suite a customer already runs, with automated competency dossiers as the value that travels alongside the candidate data. The 360-tier labelling on these features signals an explicit upmarket play. What the feed cannot tell you is whether that push continued: the three-and-a-half month silence since Profile Sync is the most conspicuous fact in the current window, and the entries give no reason for it.
The feed does not support a confident prediction while it is dormant. If publishing resumes, the API-first line — candidate matching or assessment results exposed the same way — is the direction the existing releases point to, and the duplicate multilingual publishing will likely persist until the changelog feed is unified.

The pattern is to reduce candidate drop-off and repeat work: fewer re-sent assessments, fewer missed deadlines, fewer unanswered scheduling invites. AI features are being added as optional helpers with consent and permission controls rather than as autonomous screening, which fits a regulated hiring context.
Expect the MCP beta to widen beyond read-only questions and more assessment results to be reusable across jobs and hiring processes.
