• If a user closes the app before completing or reloads the page they’ll be returned to the last step they were at

Candidate Cards

• A walkthrough will guide the candidate around the interface prior to the start of the simulation

  1. Sales Development Representative Simulation

New Features

Excel Question Type

• Our latest Excel question type allows customers to natively embed MS Excel into any assessment.
• They can do this via the Create editor where they are prompted to create from scratch or upload their excel file (max 10MB).
• While we natively have Google Spreadsheets as a question type we haven’t supported the same functionality for MS Excel. This update will now allow users to select between Google Spreadsheets and MS Excel to test functionality and role-relevant skills correctly. Embedded MS Excel also will enable us to expand into other MS Office applications supported by the API.
• The Excel question type is available to all customers across all plan types. The question type mimics the functionality of the Autogradable Spreadsheet question type; autogradable, with at least one correct answer sample or test case. 
• Some important considerations to note are customers are able to amend scores after grading to account for answers that are technically correct but marked incorrect due to formatting (i.e. 10 vs 10.00) and cannot be completed on a mobile device.
• The Excel question type doesn’t currently work in an iframe but this is being updated.
  
• Once this is updated, we will update the spreadsheet questions to the Excel question type for these assessments: Financial Accountant, Finance Manager, Payroll Administrator & Pricing Analyst.
  

  Improvements 

  Anti Cheating

  • Candidates are no longer able to copy the text or content from a question. This will make it more difficult for candidates to copy and paste content into tools like Chat GPT.

  • The number of candidates being shared has been removed from the header on public candidate report cards to avoid confusion (David request)

  Statistics Bar and Assessment Card

They are now all grey which will resolve the issue of low completions looking bad when it’s actually expected behaviour. (Problem register fix)

  Assessment Library

  • By default assessments in the Public Library are now sorted by popular so assessments with good data sets should appear first in the results (Mel request)

Question Weighting

• New weighting per question type has been added as in above image
• This means questions that require more input and therefore give more context for a candidate’s abilities are now worth more eg. Simulations and questions that require less effort like MC are worth less
• This will create better variation in candidate scores and should promote better candidates to the top of the list
• Example of the change:
  

Improvements

New Features

Assessment Settings

• All assessment settings including assessment, skill groups, invitation, deadlines and candidate communications have now been merged into the one `Settings` page.
• This update will make it easier for employers to use Vervoe by removing some of the noise in assessments. By default we recommend certain settings in our assessments. By placing the ability to edit these in the creation process we inadvertently make it more difficult for employers trying to navigate the platform. We also find that a lot of settings end up being incorrectly used which can impact candidates and ultimately the hiring decision for the employer.

• Removing the settings from each stage has also allowed us to remove the settings sidebar from each stage giving the user a larger workspace.

• As a part of this change we’ve also said goodbye to a breadcrumb structure, that helps users navigate the steps of an assessment and hello to our new chevrons. Designed to be bolder and indicate the stages of an assessment more clearly. We’ve also moved assessment insights into the flow so it’s easier for users to find and review.

• The 2 options for inviting a candidate (email and link) have been merged into the one page instead of the separate individual pages which streamlines the invite process. 
  

• A separate tab has been added to the invite stage which tracks all of the invited candidates through the different stages (invited, started, completed, etc)

• Invite links now list the individual breakdown of applied started and completed candidates to help employers identify top candidate sources.

Assessment Slug

• Employers can now edit the slug of an assessment for consistency.
  Please note this feature is not available to AppSumos.

• There are several requirements for the slug to be valid:

  • The slug should be unique (across all assessments not just the customers account)

  • If they are using a name that comes back as taken they can append numbers to it eg. user-experience-designer-34

  • Min 2 characters Max 100 

  • Only English letters+numbers 

  • Should not contain special characters

• Old links will not update to the new slug however candidates will still be able to use them

API

• The API has been expanded to include an entity/package endpoint. This endpoint will allow our API users to invite multiple different brands to the one assessment. 

• For example: Seek would like to sell Vervoe to its customer base. Currently in order for the customers to have their own branding per assessment Seek would need to create an account per customer and write to the API for each account which is unscalable. This improvement means that Seek can use the same account but pass multiple different customers into the same assessment. Each customer will see their own branding and have their own completion caps. But from Seeks perspective it’s all managed within the one account which will also help with optimising AI grading for a set assessment.

• Additional company logos can be added via the account settings in Vervoe (see Account Settings – Multiple Brands update below)
• This will be added to our public API docs shortly

Account Settings – Multiple Brands

• Employers are now able to customize the branding per assessment in their account.

• A new Branding Details section has been added to account settings where multiple logos can be uploaded and colors set.
  

• Assessment branding can be managed for the assessment level within the new settings area. The drop down allows for the assessment branding to be updated easily within the workflow.
  

Improvements

Candidate Experience

• Candidate experience has been updated to include more prominent employer branding including a company color matched header.

• The profile page has been removed to stop the unnecessary collection of additional PII information outside of what is required to facilitate the assessment (name and email)

• The “Run Tests” button is now hidden on code challenges if there are no example test cases to run to avoid confusion

Skill Groups – Migration

• All assessments now must have a skill group. Old assessments that were missing skill groups have been updated to include one default group that is the same as the name of the assessment. This can be edited in the skill group settings

• From now on employers will be unable to remove all of the skill groups in their assessment. The last one left will not be able to be deleted. It can however be updated. 

• Comms have gone out to customers notifying them of this change

Saved Questions

• A flash message now appears when a question is saved to the bank to confirm the action has happened.
