En DevSkiller, we believe in continuous improvement. We have a growing base of happy clientes who use the platform on a daily basis which gives us the opportunity to constantly desarrollar our tool to address their needs. To do so, we look at how you use DevSkiller when you work and listen to what you have to say about it. For the last 6 months we’ve been busy turning your insights into action. We’ve put the new características and functionalities together in this post to help you leverage them to the full.
Let’s get started!
More flexibility in editing the test
This is one of the biggest changes that we introduced in the last 6 months and more importantly one that fulfilled many requests of our customers. So what does flexibility mean in this case?
a) We’ve changed the whole view of manual edition of the test to simplify it and bring better UX,
b) Currently you can decide if the candidate can go back and forward on the test (previously he could go only forward),
c) To give you more information on what the candidates are doing in the test we started to measure the time that they spend on each task instead of the test in entirety,
d) Welcome page and exit page of the test are now editable, this way you can add personalized information to the candidates in your test,
e) We’ve enabled adding your own input forms and static elements into the test. You can use that to add extra information for the candidate or ask them your own questions after they finish the test or before they take it,
f) You’ve gained a lot of control over adding random tasks to the test. Currently you can either manually select random group of tasks to be added randomly to the test or define a query by which the system will add random tasks to the test.
DevSkiller works faster
We’ve made our system work faster for better User Experience. We’ve tested the system a lot and we’ve seen that all the pages in our system work even few times faster. We will not stop here!
Pareja de códigos con entrevista de video
Yes, yes yes … DevSkiller currently gives the possibility to conduct live en línea par de códigos with video interview session one-on-one with the candidate. You don’t have to use any additional tools to conduct a live interview with your candidate. It’s currently available for all of our plans, but in a couple of months we will limit this feature to Enterprise Plans.
You can find more information on how to use the feature in our Help Center https://help.devskiller.com/quick-guide-to-devskiller/code-pair-with-video-interview-how-it-works
Candidate profile
The new candidate profile was introduced a couple of months ago but we did not have an occasion to tell you more about it. Below you’ll find the highlights of the brand new look:
a) Currently you can invite a single candidate to many tests and they will all be grouped in a single candidate profile. Just go through each test tab on the left to see candidates result on each stage of testing his habilidades. This is also a great feature for using DevSkiller i.g. in education, where you can track the progress of your students while taking a course,
b) You can now see a timeline of all interactions with the candidate. Thanks to the new addition to the platform you’ll find your the history of interactions with the candidate, as well as information on whether they opened the email or not,
c) We’ve added a new security feature – IP address of the candidate taking the test. When you access information on a specific test in the top right corner you’ll find Candidate IP address. Soon we will also add information about localization of the candidate based on this information.
