step 1

Discovery

Understanding the problem

Recruiters play a key role in deciding who joins a team, and the impact of a new employee can be huge for a company. With how costly it can be to acquire talent, companies want to make sure their employees are a long term investment. 

Key Insights

Early employee rotation can signify big losses for a company
Recruiters don’t use any predictive tools to help them assess candidates
Companies have to ‘trust’ recruiters to select candidates that will be the best bet
step 2

Research

Diving deep into user needs

Conducted a competitive analysis and white paper research to understand how users currently solve this problem.

Key Insights

60%
of operational employees leave before 6 months
150%
The cost of replacing an employee can go up to 150% of their annual wage.

What I would do differently next time

If I had the chance to approach this project again, I would prioritize usability testing earlier in the process—even with a small sample of users—since iterative feedback is essential for refining interaction patterns and ensuring a more intuitive experience.

Given that this was a short-term MVP built by a very small team, our focus was on delivering core functionality, which meant testing and iteration were limited. Another key learning was around responsive design: because the product was conceived as a web app with a large volume of information, adapting the interface for mobile created usability challenges and constrained the overall experience.

Despite these limitations, the project gave me valuable hands-on experience with information architecture, API integration, and web development, which strengthened my ability to design more scalable and user-centered digital products in the future.
