Hirewise changelog | Lexington Themes

Hirewise is rebuilt from scratch as a careers site theme. One company hiring for itself, with the salary band on every role, a new look, new code and new copy.
New pages: home, about, benefits and pay with salary bands per level, how we hire in five steps, contact, a multi-step apply form with CV upload, a talent pool with a team picker, thank you and a new 404.
New collections: roles grouped by team, teams with their lead, people and open roles, stories from the team, a blog with reading time, and legal pages.
Switzer on a white ground with one colour and mark per team, a dithered WebGL shader in the team colours, a 12 column grid, a mega menu and Lenis smooth scroll.
Teams, levels and salary bands live in src/lib/careers.ts, so one edit updates the roles, the team pages and the benefits.
Rewritten README.md, AGENTS.md, Cursor rules and design skill (.cursor/skills/hirewise-design/) for the new system.
Companies, candidates, pricing, sign in, sign up, the job submission forms, the paywall, the colour modes, the search and the help center are gone.

Expanded the design system skill at .cursor/skills/hirewise-design/SKILL.md: typography, color usage, spacing rhythm, component conventions, and do/don’t rules extracted from the theme’s own code, so AI coding tools (Cursor, Claude Code, Codex) build UI that matches the theme.
AGENTS.md links the design rules in every variant.
