Project Overview

JobStart helps make effective hires by helping create structured, targeted job descriptions focusing on candidate-company value match and removing unconscious bias.

Design Process Overview

The Problem Statement

Values through Design Solution

I, with the help of my product manager, designed a solution to tackle the 3 overarching problems with hiring platforms by making candidate match anonymous, AI-driven job positing and value compatibility matching.

The Design Process: The story behind the Product.

1. Discovery : What are the unresolved issues hiring managers face in most job platforms?

1.1 Secondary Research : Recruitment Challenges

1.2 Primary Research : Experience of Hiring Managers in hiring process.

Converting the painpoints into Key Opportunity Areas

2. Ideation : A Hiring platform focusing on hiring Gen-Z.

2.1 Brainstorming and solution - Affinity Mapping.

While researching, I realized that most hiring platforms does not focus on culture and values of the company and the candidates, while being important factors which determines if they are good fit for each other. Having learnt about the hiring managers /side of the story, I brainstormed on what factors are important for candidates when they look for job through hiring platform.

3. Empathizing with users: When and how would this design help the Recuiters?

Based on research and insight, I created a storyboard to help empathize with the users by creating a user scenario.

4. Information Architecture

After having done the research and ideation. I started to draw out an information architecture for the application. After a couple of iterations in paper and in Lucidchart, I came up with a final flow after a couple of iterations.

5. User Flow and Wireframing

6. Final UI

1. Unbiased Recruitment

Total anonymity to help remove gender, race and culture bias.The information provided help hiring managers focus on the skills of the candidate.

2. Intuitive job posting

Instead of having the hiring mangers to draft the job description content by themselves, JobStart helps hiring managers create the perfect job description by answering simple questions.

3. Matching candidates based on skills and personality.

Compatibility between the organization, team and team members is overlooked more than often.We wanted to focus on helping hiring manager find compatible team members through ‘Power skills’.Power skills are the intangible traits that are important for efficient interactions and idea sharing.

7. Design Takeaways

• Empathasizing with Team members
  This was my first industry experience working in team. Since the team was small, we had to take up a lot of responsibilities that our position might not have required, it was very empowering to explore different roles and empathizing with team members.
• Learning to ask for help
  ‍Asking for help when needed will save a lot of times and resources than trying to figuring out alone.
• Ownership of work
  Taking control and ownership of work when working in team is very important. This shows the ability to take accountability for mistakes and also of work done well.
