Yesterday we had released a ton of new UI and feature tweaks. Thought we should walk you through what has been done-
The first thing you will have noticed is the search bar on the header. We are hoping this will open up the site a bit to people who haven’t yet registered. We have also reduced the logo size (is it noticeable?), the borders are shadowed and the background is grayed a bit.
You might already have noticed the new ‘tab’ structure to your profile. The idea was simply to make your profiles look less ‘text oriented’ and easier to navigate via tabs. Prominent web links such as twitter, facebook, linkedIn, mosambe are now icons only. More space, less clutter.
What you might not have noticed yet is ‘edit profile’. We have split up profile into larger tabs that makes editing your profile a snap, one section at a time. Going forward we will put a simple profile completion bar that updates as you complete the various sections of your profile.
For organizations, there is a ton of new stuff we have done:
The number of applicants is now shown for every job posted on Mosambe. There is also an option to now ask relevant questions to the employer about any new job post. We have also added options to share a job post via social media. The company logo is now visible in the respective job post pages.
We have had some concerns about the size of the application tray, so now it opens in a new window and gives you a broader workspace that fits the browser. This should help in working with applications and in shortlisting applicants with ease. Messages now show up as a conversation thread and the count now shows up in the job tray. We have also provided an option to now message any applicant from within the app tray.
All of these new features, we hope will make sorting and shortlisting applicants easier and simpler for employers. We will continue to add new features and keep you posted. We are also doing a couple of cool things around ‘search’.
Overall, the response yesterday has been great. We are glad you liked the new set of tweaks and we promise we have more exciting stuff planned ahead. Thanks a lot for the wonderful response! As always, we urge you also to visit our forum and help us out with more feedback. We are just getting started.
Cheers!
Team Mosambe.
