Differences Between the Old and New UI in Discovered

Overview

This article explains the differences between the old UI and the new UI in Discovered, with a focus on job creation and management. The new interface streamlines workflows, reducing mandatory steps and adding flexibility to job postings and evaluations.


Key Changes in Job Creation and Management

Old UI

When creating a job posting in Discovered's Old UI, there were six mandatory steps that would have to be completed in order for the job to be posted. They were:

  • Details: Basic job information.
  • Statuses: Workflow setup.
  • Application: Application form configuration.
  • Scorecard: Interview scorecards.
  • Interviews: Interview guide setup and management.
  • Reference Checking: Reference questionnaire setup and management

Users had to complete all six steps to post a job, which could be time-consuming. With the New UI that we have built, we designed it in such a way that each of these features (plus more) were preserved, but the process is much more simple and faster. 

New UI

In Discovered's New UI, the workflow is more simplified and easier to manage. There are only three main categories out of which to operate, and only one of them is mandatory for posting a job:

  • Job Details (mandatory): Core job information, such as title, type, and description.
  • Find and Evaluate Talent (optional): Centralized page for managing applications, scorecards, interviews, references, and outreach.
  • Processing (optional): Workflow setup and automation. Equivalent to the "Statuses" step in the Old UI but with enhanced flexibility.

Users can post jobs quickly without completing unnecessary steps. Additional configurations can be done later.


New Tools and Features


In addition to simplifying the job posting creation and management process, we added several new features that are only available on the New UI. These enhancements are designed to simplify your hiring process, improve candidate evaluation, and provide greater flexibility in job management.

Introducing Sequences

  • New Feature:
    • Automates a series of candidate communications (emails or SMS) triggered by status changes.
  • Scheduling Options:
    • Schedule messages instantly or after specific time intervals.
  • Stopping Criteria:
    • Stops sequences once candidates complete required actions (e.g., submitting assessments).

Introducing Custom Assessments

  • New Feature:
    • Enables tailored assessments for specific hiring needs.
  • Customization Options:
    • Use Kingsley AI to generate assessments or create them manually.
  • Enhanced Screening:
    • Supports a diverse range of skills and traits for better candidate evaluation.

Introducing Employee Referrals

  • New Feature:
    • Simplifies the process of leveraging employee networks for referrals.
  • Automated Outreach:
    • Send sequences of messages to employees encouraging them to refer candidates.
  • Tracking Tools:
    • Monitor referral performance and manage employee participation easily.

Summary

The new UI in Discovered simplifies job creation and management by reducing mandatory steps and adding advanced tools like Sequences, Custom Assessments, and Employee Referrals provide users with greater flexibility and efficiency while maintaining access to powerful hiring tools.
