The journey begins

The journey begins

I began by understanding the target user and the hiring flow process. Then, I delved into the users' needs through research. The design process was much more iterative, involving many back-and-forths as we gained new understanding and received more insights and evidence. 





Interviews with HR:



  • Began with requesting HR's to demonstrate their process from creating and managing job positions to finalizing the hiring of candidates and closing the position.

  • Our goal was to discover how these users do their tasks, what are their pain points, and where can we create value for them.

  • With insights in hand, we began by crafting a detailed persona of hr and understanding their pain points, imagining their thoughts, feelings.


Insights :



  • Overwhelming Candidate Volume



  • Excessive Manual Data Entry



  • They Had to Rely On Excel



  • There Was No Reporting



  • Resume got vanished



  • Interviews overlapped



  • Managing communication with numerous candidates



  • Candidates Didn't Show Up
