Culture Amp deepens surveys and self-service while extending its AI Coach
Culture Amp's releases split across three lanes: its AI Coach gained Voice Mode (dictation plus a conversational, interruptible mode for role-play); the survey platform got a rebuilt two-panel designer, rating-based question branching, and manager-feedback reporting; and admins got self-service SAML/SSO configuration rolled out to all accounts. Cascading Goals also landed in the window.
Thought leadership on AI in hiring, with no product surface in sight
Jobvite's feed is an employer-brand and recruiting-trends blog. The window covers AI on both sides of the interview table, job-seeker statistics, aligning HR data with executive priorities, the 'Great Pause' in candidate behaviour, skills-based hiring, and a podcast recap. It draws on the company's own Job Seeker Nation Report but never describes a change to the applicant tracking product itself.

Cascading Goals also landed in the window.
The company is modernizing its core survey and engagement tooling while steadily building AI Coach into a more natural, practice-oriented assistant. The self-service SSO push reduces support dependency and signals enterprise-readiness investment.
Expect more AI Coach surface area now that voice enables richer role-play, and continued migration of admin tasks to self-service.

It draws on the company's own Job Seeker Nation Report but never describes a change to the applicant tracking product itself.
The editorial line is consistent and genuinely current — candidates and recruiters both now use AI, which erodes the resume as a signal and pushes toward skills-based assessment. That is a real category shift, but it is being narrated rather than shipped here. Product velocity cannot be read from this source at all.
Expect more report-derived posts and thought leadership on candidate behaviour at a steady weekly pace. Actual product changes will not be visible here unless the feed source is changed to a release channel.
