HiBob replaces its CV summarizer with a scoring model recruiters have to configure themselves.
Bob's developer changelog is a steady stream of Public API surface: Skills, Employer, Time Off calendars, Goals, and Hiring search endpoints, most of them adding read or sync paths for external systems. Against that background, two entries stand out — the MCP server moving to OAuth-based user access with an expanded toolset, and AI CV Matching replacing the previous AI CV Summary with an explainable match score built on criteria the recruiter defines.
Turnover-IT is opening its CV database via APIs, with Profile Sync as the latest move.
Turnover-IT is leaning hard into API-led integration with customer ATS systems. The recent run has shipped Talent Search (query CV library from your own tooling), Profile Sync (push candidate updates back into customer environments), automated skills/competency files, and applicant-side custom questions. Releases regularly publish twice — once with proper emoji rendering, once with mojibake — making the changelog look noisier than the underlying release count.

HiBob is turning Bob into a system other software reads from and writes to, rather than a destination product. The API additions make every module — skills, employer entities, time off, hiring — reachable from outside, and the OAuth MCP server extends the same access to AI tools under user-scoped permissions. The CV change shows where the AI investment is aimed: not at generating text for recruiters to read, but at producing structured judgments they can be asked to justify.
Expect the criteria behind CV Matching to become configurable through the Hiring API the same way the module itself was, and for the remaining Bob modules without public endpoints to follow Skills and Employer into the API.
Turnover-IT is leaning hard into API-led integration with customer ATS systems. The recent run has shipped Talent Search (query CV library from your own tooling), Profile Sync (push candidate updates back into customer environments), automated skills/competency files, and applicant-side custom questions. Releases regularly publish twice — once with proper emoji rendering, once with mojibake — making the changelog look noisier than the underlying release count.
The strategy is shifting Turnover-IT from a destination tool to an API-shaped service inside whatever ATS or recruiting suite a customer already runs. Bundling this with automated skills-file generation suggests the bet is that recruiters will keep their workflow elsewhere but pull both candidates and AI-prepared dossiers from Turnover-IT. The 360-tier label on these features signals an explicit upmarket play.
Expect more API-first capabilities — likely candidate matching and assessment results — to follow Profile Sync, plus tighter packaging of these APIs as a standalone tier. Mojibake-duplicate publishing will probably persist until the team unifies their changelog feed.
