The following milestones were achieved in the last few weeks.
| New Stuff | |
| Top jobs / Jobs of the week | Introducing the new "Job of the Week" upgrade, designed to enhance job postings with a mix of existing upgrades. This upgrade combines boosted, highlighted and featured enhancements to maximize visibility. Users receive an optional notification email upon activation.

Additionally, "Job of the Week" has a dedicated section on landing pages, ensuring prime placement. |
| Link Checker | We improved job management by implementing a tool for checking the validity of external application links. It provides regular checks, notifies recruiters about expired links, and maintains a tracking system for job status checks. |
