The start of 2026 brought a major set of GoodTime product updates designed to help talent teams hire with more speed, reliability, and control. From expanded scheduling automation and an active Job Pipeline to smarter workflows, embedded Orchestra intelligence, and deeper insights, these enhancements focus on reducing manual work while making it easier to scale hiring with confidence.
Whether you’re keeping interviews on track with end-to-end scheduling automation, actively moving the right candidates forward through automated workflows, improving interview quality with built-in training and intelligence, or gaining clearer visibility into what’s slowing hiring, these updates are built to support modern talent teams facing growing workloads and tighter resources — without sacrificing experience or control.
Let’s dive into what’s new — and why it matters.

Scheduling Automation
In 2025, we automated interview scheduling with auto-confirm, auto-hold, auto-replace, real-time availability, and queue balancing to reduce failures and manual coordination.
Why this is awesome: Fewer breakdowns, faster interviews, less coordinator work.
Job Pipeline
We turned Job Pipeline into an active recruiter workflow with real-time updates, stage-based automation, scorecards, and AI evaluation that moves well qualified candidates forward automatically.
Why this is awesome: Recruiters manage flow, not tools.
Workflow Automation
We introduced a new workflow builder with conditional logic and escalation handling, enabling teams to automate complex hiring processes while maintaining visibility, safety, and control.
Why this is awesome: Powerful automation that scale to thousands of candidates.
Orchestra Agent
We launched the Orchestra AI Agent to review applications, prioritize candidates with matching skills, and answer candidate FAQs, embedding consistent intelligence directly into high-volume recruiting workflows.
Why this is awesome: Faster decisions with consistent signals.
Interviewer Training
Interview training evolved with reading classes, on-the-fly enrollment, training KPIs, and feedback loops that connect interviewer readiness directly to interview execution.
Why this is awesome: Better interviews, less manual follow up and coaching.
Insights & Reporting
We expanded insights with Interview Time, Load Balance, Capacity Planning, cNPS benchmarking, and Bias Audit reports to give teams actionable, decision-grade visibility.
Why this is awesome: Clear visibility into what slows hiring
Orchestra Agent
Throughout the year, Orchestra Agent will mature from an intern level assistant to a capable member of your team to help automate repetitive tasks and eventually manage complex scenarios with minimum oversight.
Why this is awesome: Directly addresses the growing workload demands and shrinking resources of modern talent teams
Enterprise Essentials
Enterprise Essentials strengthen GoodTime’s foundation with secure access, reliable integrations, and consistent core systems that large organizations depend on at scale.
Why this is awesome: Enterprise reliability, security, and compliance without operational overhead.
Interview Intelligence
Interview Intelligence records, transcribes, and structures interviews so insights improve consistency, reduce bias, save recruiter time, and flow directly into GoodTime’s automation and workflows.
Why this is awesome: Better decisions, less busywork, no extra tools
