Source Retirement in Textkernel Legacy External Search

Search & Match

What's New?

Support for the following sources in the deprecated Textkernel Legacy External Search will be discontinued on December 8, 2026:

  • LinkedIn

  • Stack Overflow

  • GitHub

  • Viadeo

  • XING

Almost all customers have now moved from the legacy external search to the newer Textkernel external search feature (Textkernel Source).

Why Does It Matter?

After December 8, 2026, customers who still use legacy external search can no longer find candidates from these sources. Planning ahead gives your team time to adjust sourcing workflows before support ends.
