✨ Sidebar Menu Icon Refresh

Released Date: 12 November 2026

Same menu, fresher look: you can now see the new sidebar icons in Compact view, making each menu item easier to spot at a glance.

The new sidebar icons are part of the wider Vincere user interface update, released in October 2026. That update gives Vincere a tidier, more uniform look and introduces Compact view, which makes headers, pipelines and tables easier to scan.

For the full list of changes, see this article.

👉 What's New

New Icons Style in the Sidebar


Sidebar menu icons now share a more uniform style, matching the visual design used across the product.

Compact view required: Users must be using Compact view to see the new sidebar icons. To switch to Compact View, head to your User Settings.

The updated icons also appear when clicking on the Settings Menu

The icons are also updated in the in the edit Menu

💡 Why It Matters

Creates a more consistent look and feel across the Evo platform.

📌 Important Notes

  • The new sidebar menu is only available in Compact UI view.

  • Nothing changes for users except how the sidebar icons look. Menu item names, positions and order stay the same, along with where each item links to, who can access it, and what it does.

✨ Auto-Save Your Changes When Leaving a Profile

Released Date: 12 November 2026

You can now have your changes saved automatically when you leave a company, contact or candidate profile, so you can move on without responding to a reminder prompt.

👉 What's New

Auto-Save Your Changes When Leaving a Profile

When you leave a profile with unsaved changes, a new pop-up dialog gives you the option to save your changes automatically, without clicking Save.

  • A pop-up dialog appears when you leave a profile with unsaved changes. Tick the Always auto-save my changes checkbox once in any company, contact or candidate profile, and your changes will apply automatically.

  • If the checkbox is not ticked, the reminder prompt continues to appear. Select No to leave the profile without saving your changes.

⚙️ How it Works

  1. Edit a company, contact or candidate profile and make your changes.

  2. Navigate away from the profile or close it. The unsaved-changes dialog appears.

  3. Tick Always auto-save my changes.

  4. Select Yes.

💡 Why It Matters

  • Reduces interruptions by removing repeated reminder prompts when leaving a profile.

  • Helps users stay focused on their work without extra clicks.

  • Prevents unsaved edits from being lost when navigating away from a company, contact or candidate profile.

📌 Important Notes

  • If you have mandatory fields set up, auto-save still requires these fields to be filled in. If a mandatory field is empty, changes cannot be saved, and the user must complete all mandatory fields before leaving or closing the profile.

  • Auto-save is linked to the browser. Clearing your browser's site data resets or turns off this feature, so the reminder prompt will appear again.

✨ Natural Language Search

Released Date: 12 November 2026

You can now describe what you need in plain words using Natural Language Search in Vincere's Search feature rather than building filters one by one.

Natural Language Search mode is available to users on the Evo Everywhere tier. Reach out to your Account Manager for more details of your account's status.

👉 What's New

Natural Language Search mode is now available in Quick Search and Advanced Search. A mode button switches between standard search and Natural Language Search.

  • Searches across five record types: Candidate, Contact, Company, Job and Application

  • A mode button to switch between standard search and Natural Language Search

  • Selecting a result opens that record

  • A no-results message appears when no records match, and your search criteria stay editable

  • Selecting Open in Advanced Search after a Natural Language Quick Search opens Advanced Search with Natural Language Search mode still on, and carries your prompt across

⚙️ How it Works

1) Open Quick Search or Advanced Search.

2) Select the mode button to switch to Natural Language Search.

3) Describe the records you need in plain words, then run the search.

4) Select a result to open that record.

5) To refine Quick Search results, select Open in Advanced Search. Natural Language Search mode and your original prompt carry over, so you don't need to retype it.

💡 Why It Matters

  • Reduces the time spent choosing each field and operator before a search can run.

  • Helps recruiters move from a client brief to search results with fewer steps.

  • Avoids running a separate search for each record type when you're looking across Candidates, Contacts, Companies, Jobs and Applications.

📌 Important Note

Natural Language Search mode is available to users on the Evo Everywhere tier only. Users on tiers below Evo Everywhere cannot see the mode button.

✨ Shift Import Updates

Released Date: 12 November 2026

These updates build on the Shift Import quick section in Evo Navigator.

Click here to learn more about the Shift Import.

👉 What's New

Open a shift directly in the Shift Import view

You can now open a shift directly from the Shift Import results, with the job and week already filtered for you.

Select a Shift Name in the import results to open that shift in Shift Scheduler

Shift Start and End Date Columns

The Shift Import table now has Shift Start Date and Shift End Date columns so users can check the dates of every imported shift without opening the source file or Shift Scheduler.

📌 Important Note

If you're interested in getting access to the Shift Import in Evo Navigator, please reach out to your Account Manager.

✨ Business Development Kanban

Released Date: 12 November 2026

You can now manage companies, contacts and job leads from one Business Development Kanban page, making it easier to keep your pipeline in one place.

Previously, this was managed on two separate sections: Prospects and BD Opportunities with their own menus, pipelines and numbers.

More details here.

💡 Why It Matters

  • Reduces the need to move between menus, so recruiters can go from a company to its contacts and job leads on one page.

  • Keeps job leads close to the companies they belong to, so related records are easier to find.

  • Enables a consistent experience across Evo Navigator and Vincere, with the same filters, views and drag-and-drop behaviour on every tab.

For detailed setup instructions and additional information about any of these features, please visit our Help Center or contact your Customer Success Manager.
