Smarter Multi-Step Filters on the Job Details Page

Flo moves fast, and this update is a good example of what that looks like in practice: a targeted, thoughtful improvement to one of the more intricate parts of the filtering experience, already live in the product.

The challenge

Some filters in Flo require more than one selection to do their job. Filtering by job application status, for instance, means first choosing a job, then choosing a status. The same goes for filtering by candidate event status. These multi-step filters need careful handling so the sequence stays clear and the selections stay connected. The previous approach worked, but there was room to make the experience more intuitive for recruiting teams moving quickly through large candidate lists.

What we launched

The team reworked how these multi-step filters present themselves on the job details page. When a filter requires a specific context before a second selection makes sense (for example, a job name before a status), the interface now guides you through that sequence in a cleaner, more deliberate way.

Two filters currently follow this pattern:

  • Job Application Status: select a job, then select the application status you want to filter on.
  • Candidate Event Status: select an event, then select the candidate's status within that event.

This change is live on the job details page now. Expanding it to the candidate list page is already on the roadmap as part of a separate project.

Why it matters

Recruiting teams spend a lot of time inside filters, slicing candidate lists by role, status, and stage. When a filter requires two inputs, the relationship between those inputs needs to be obvious at a glance. This update makes that relationship explicit, so there is less chance of a mismatched selection and less time spent second-guessing what a filter is actually doing.

It is a focused change, but it reflects how Flo thinks about the product: the details of day-to-day workflows matter, and getting them right makes the whole platform feel more reliable.

If you work with these filters regularly and have thoughts on how the experience could be refined further, we want to hear it. This kind of improvement comes directly from paying attention to how recruiting teams actually work, and your input shapes what comes next.
