ATS Updates

Voice AI Pre-Screening Interviews
Recruiters can now run structured Voice AI pre-screening interviews that automatically generate concise, human-readable summaries to help teams evaluate candidate fit without the need for manual calls.

AI-Driven Interview Proctoring
Built-in proctoring monitors interview integrity in real time and delivers a clear status (Passed, Flagged, Review Required), giving recruiters fast, objective confidence in interview authenticity.

Voice AI Interview Question Preview
Recruiters and clients can now preview Voice AI interview questions before launch to ensure alignment and transparency, especially for client-facing positions.

GIGSumo Job Board Integration
Jobs can now be posted, managed, and refreshed directly from Ceipal, with applicants flowing directly into ATS. This will increase the reach of sourcing without the need for additional tools.

Surveys via SMS
Surveys can now be delivered via SMS in addition to email, helping teams collect feedback faster with better response rates.

Healthcare ATS Updates

Upgraded Candidate Portal Experience
A refreshed UI makes it easier for healthcare professionals to manage profiles, documents, job applications, and PRN shifts—reducing friction and improving engagement.

New Client Portal Experience
Clients get a modern, centralized portal to create jobs, review submissions, share feedback, and schedule interviews—speeding up decision-making without back-and-forth emails.

Pre-Vetted Candidates as Default View
Pre-qualified clinicians are now surfaced by default, making it easier for recruiters to take action on ready-to-submit talent.

Survey Distribution via SMS
Healthcare teams can reach clinicians faster with SMS-based surveys, improving feedback collection and follow-ups.

VMS Updates

Automated GDPR Consent Handling
Consent emails are triggered automatically for GDPR-restricted submissions, with real-time status updates and compliance in all regions.

Targeted Job Publishing to Selected Vendors
Jobs are now distributed to only selected vendor contacts, ensuring teams manage distribution effectively, build better partnerships, and prevent unnecessary noise.

Custom Invoicing Logic Based on Working Days
Invoices are now calculated using configured work patterns and schedules, reducing disputes and ensuring billing aligns with actual working days.

Expanded Compliance Dashboard
A comprehensive compliance dashboard now consolidates approval, invoices, timesheets, SLA, and supplier health, ensuring teams stay ahead of risk.

Workforce Updates

Shift Templates for Faster Scheduling
Shifts can be created in the shift scheduler dashboard using the shift templates configured at the client level. This ensures faster shift creation with consistency across locations and roles.

Client-Level Invoice Theme Configuration
Invoice themes can now be defined per client, ensuring branding and billing formats stay consistent.

Expense Sync with Integrated VMS Systems
Expenses downloaded or deleted in integrated VMS platforms are automatically reflected in Workforce—keeping records clean and in sync.
