**Smarter assessment search**  
Finding the right assessment in the job wizard is now faster and more intuitive:

- Word order, accents and capitalisation no longer matter. Searching “manager project” finds Project Manager.
- Partial words and related forms are recognised: “exc” finds Excel, and “accountant” finds Accounting.
- Technical terms such as C#, C++ and CI/CD return the right results.
- Search now covers assessment tags and descriptions as well as names, with the closest matches shown first.

**More relevant recommendations**  
Assessment recommendations are now sorted by relevance. You’ll see up to 18 suggestions, with the top 5 pre-selected, and job-specific assessments prioritised.

**Reuse or retake assessment results**  
When a candidate is invited to another assessment within your company, they can now choose to reuse their previous results or retake the assessment. Results no longer expire after 6 months, saving candidates time and giving you more flexibility across roles.

**Talent Matching across languages**  
Talent Matching is now based on the assessment type (Profile Fit), regardless of the language the assessment was taken in.

**New assessment: AI Fluency for Product Managers**  
Evaluate how effectively Product Manager candidates understand and apply AI in their work. Available now in the assessment catalogue.

**Performance improvements**  
Faster, smoother performance across the Bryq Platform and Bryq MCP.
