April brought faster paths to membership, clearer plan access, and a more streamlined onboarding experience for new members joining the platform.

April 17

Simpler onboarding and direct access —We removed the waitlist system, giving all members immediate access to the career manager and job board without needing to join a queue or complete achievements first. Free members can now explore jobs and use the job tracker right away. For more detail, see Accessing the career manager and job board.

Subscription page redesign — The subscription page now shows one plan at a time with a cleaner layout, making it easier to compare options and choose the right tier for your needs. We released this to simplify the upgrade decision and reduce visual clutter when selecting between Lite, Plus, Extra, and Premium. For more on plan differences, see Guide to subscription tiers and limits.

Buy plans without signing in — You can now purchase Lite or Plus membership directly from a public checkout page without creating an account first. After payment, you're taken to sign up with your email prefilled. We released this to remove barriers for members who want to upgrade quickly without navigating the full onboarding flow upfront.

Resume Builder now requires Plus — Access to Resume Builder is now restricted to Plus members and above. Members on lower plans see a locked screen with an upgrade prompt when attempting to access the tool. We released this to align Resume Builder with the tier where it delivers the most value, given its advanced customization and export features. For help upgrading, see Managing your subscription.

Kanban cards are easier to grab — Job tracker Kanban cards now have improved drag-and-drop handling, making it smoother to move applications between stages. We released this to reduce friction when organizing your pipeline.
