Document Cloud Connect
What's new
Document Cloud Connect allows administrators to securely connect ClearCompany to an approved cloud storage provider, including Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, SharePoint, or Box.
Once connected, recruiting and onboarding documents automatically sync to the selected storage location with a consistent naming and folder structure.
This update includes:
- Secure connections to supported cloud storage providers.
- Automatic document delivery with consistent naming and folder organization.
- Metadata, workflow triggers, and audit visibility are maintained within ClearCompany.
- Retry support, file history, and error handling for improved reliability.
Why it matters
Recruiting and onboarding teams often need to download documents from ClearCompany and upload them into internal storage systems. This manual process can create duplicate files, inconsistent organization, and limited visibility into document activity.
Document Cloud Connect reduces this manual work by automatically delivering documents to your preferred storage provider while maintaining workflow automation and document tracking in ClearCompany.
Where to find it
Admins can enable and configure this feature by navigating to:
Tools → Setup → Document Cloud Connect.
For detailed setup instructions, refer to Document Cloud Connect Overview.
ADA Title II Accessibility Remediation
What's New
ClearCompany has completed a structured accessibility remediation pass targeting critical and high-severity issues across the platform. This work addresses keyboard accessibility, screen reader support, focus visibility, color contrast, and calendar data access, ensuring a more inclusive experience for users relying on assistive technologies. This update is particularly relevant for public sector customers with ADA Title II obligations, though it improves the experience for all users.
What's Included
-
7 critical issues resolved:
- Keyboard traps eliminated across navigation and interactive components
- Accessible navigation structures implemented
- Screen reader compatibility gaps addressed
-
8 high-severity issues resolved:
- Missing focus indicators added
- Color-only link distinctions corrected
- Zoom and reflow failures fixed
- Calendar data made accessible to screen readers

5 errors corrected:

Requisition Close Date
What's new
We've added Closed Date as an available column in the Requisitions table. Users can now display this field by selecting Edit Columns and adding Closed Date from the available column options.
This enhancement makes it easier to identify when requisitions have been closed directly from the requisition list view.
How It Works
- For requisitions in workflow stages that are not Closed, the Closed Date column will display N/A.
- For requisitions in the Closed workflow stage, the Closed Date column will display the date on which the requisition was closed.

That’s all for the May 2026 Product Release. These updates are designed to help you streamline recruiting, improve data consistency, and strengthen performance management across your organization.
