This month brings exciting updates, including a revamped Recruit experience, more interactive features for usability tests, and new enhancements for moderated interviews.

What's new?

RECRUIT

Revamped Recruit experience

We’re rolling out three updates in Recruit to make your research experience smoother and more efficient:

• Optional review: Now you can launch screeners on your timeline—there's no need to wait for Dscout’s review. This allows you to decide when your research needs another set of eyes and when it doesn't, providing you with greater control and flexibility.
• Knockout questions have a new home: We've moved knockout questions to the Screener tab in your builder, making them easier to find and seamlessly align with additional questions.
• New tab names in Recruit: We’ve refreshed the tab structure for easier navigation so you can find what you need quickly.

EXPRESS

• A smoother, more interactive Figma experience in Dscout 
  

  Our improved Figma integration now features a new task flow and native UI controls, making it easier and more interactive to select your start and success screens within a task question.

• Protecting privacy just got easier with Privacy Blur

  With Privacy Blur, you can now prevent sensitive on-screen information from being unintentionally recorded during usability tests. This feature is available on task, instructions (checkpoint) questions, and talk-out-loud questions, giving you control over when to protect participants' PII. To support this enhanced functionality, we’ve sunset task-only recordings, allowing you to benefit from continuous recording without the risk of capturing sensitive information.

• Learn from your knockout question data for better recruiting
  

  Now, when running Express missions with Auto-Recruit, you’ll see exactly where Scouts are getting knocked out of the screener with programming insights. These insights appear automatically on the ‘Recruit’ tab once responses start coming in.

LIVE

• Invite guests to join mobile live interview sessions

  Guests can now observe Live mobile sessions using the Guest Share Link. While guests must still join via their desktop browser, this update makes it easier to bring stakeholders into research and increase visibility across your org.

ACCOUNT MANAGEMENT

• Set up self-service SSO for faster setup and enterprise-ready security
  

  With self-service single sign-on (SSO), admins can set up and manage their organization’s SSO configuration on their own, without waiting for support.
