✨ Recruiter Portal

A major project I tackled was designing the recruiter user flow and prototype for Intern Guys’ website. It all began with...

One Big Scary Question:

Luckily, I had the help of my trusty friend competitive analysis.
I evaluated 4 major job posting websites and identified key strengths and gaps. I found that while platforms like Handshake excel at university partnerships, others like WayUp and LinkedIn offer valuable entry-level talent pools but lack advanced screening tools.

With these insights gathered from my research, the big scary question comes down into a 🎀 conquerable question 🎀

Lo-Fi Prototype

From 0-1: Application Management screens

Drawing from my research insights, I took on the task of designing the application management screens for the recruiter portal. I created two layouts: a card view and a list view. 
Both were designed to highlight matched qualifications / percentages, simplify applicant status management, and integrate advanced filtering tools, allowing recruiters to efficiently navigate their candidate pipelines.
