My Recruiter
Empowering recruiters with a unified platform to connect employers with the best candidates.
INTRODUCTION
An intuitive recruiter dashboard designed to give a clear overview of jobs, companies, candidates, and employers. It helps recruiters efficiently connect the right job seekers with the right opportunities.
MY ROLE
I contributed to the end-to-end product design process—from scoping and user flows to wireframes and prototyping to final designs
while helping design an intuitive recruiter dashboard that streamlines how recruiters manage jobs, companies, and candidates.
PROJECT SCOPE
Worked as the Solo UI/UX Designer, collaborating with 3 developers to design and deliver the product within a 3-month timeline.
TOOLS
Photoshop, Illustrator, Figma
The dashboard’s core workflow centers around a job rating system based on candidate questionnaires. This enables recruiters to quickly evaluate candidates at a glance and efficiently decide who to shortlist or reject.
Problem Discovery
Complex user flows reduce recruiters hiring efficiency.
After detailed client discussions, I identified key usability gaps in the current system—lack of at-a-glance candidate and job overviews, poor visibility into recruiters’ current tasks, and limited dashboard navigation to support an efficient hiring workflow.

The Process
Researching Problem Space
Client research and stakeholder discussions helped identify key pain points in the existing system, revealing gaps in workflow visibility, candidate evaluation, and overall recruiter efficiency.
Insights gathered from clients and stakeholders revealed critical areas for improvement within the recruitment process. These findings enabled the development of targeted solutions aimed at enhancing workflow efficiency, improving candidate assessment, and boosting overall recruiter productivity. By addressing these gaps, organizations can streamline their hiring operations and make more informed, effective decisions.
Client, My Recruiter
Which Key Challenges Should Be Addressed to Improve the Recruiter Experience?
Lack of at-a-glance overview of jobs, candidates, and companies.
Poor visibility of recruiters’ current tasks and priorities.
Fragmented candidate evaluation process with no quick way to compare applicants.

Limited tools for quickly shortlisting or rejecting candidates.
No centralized dashboard to manage the full recruitment workflow.
My Observations
We identified key challenges and addressed them to further enhance the product.
Recruters are short on time
Recruiters often work under tight time constraints while managing multiple job openings and large volumes of candidates. They need quick overviews and streamlined tools to make fast, efficient hiring decisions.
Hiring process is not streamlined
The hiring process is often fragmented and inefficient, making it difficult for recruiters to track candidates and job progress clearly. A more streamlined workflow is needed to simplify hiring tasks and improve overall recruitment efficiency.
Companies Failed to Get Great Match
Companies often struggle to find candidates who truly match their job requirements and company needs. This mismatch can lead to longer hiring cycles and less effective recruitment outcomes.
Requirements Gathering and Brainstorming
During the brainstorming phase, I sketched initial concepts on paper, focusing on an intuitive interface and simple user flow to help recruiters efficiently match companies with the right job seekers.
During the initial prototyping phase, I collaborated with the client and concluded that the workflow needed to be significantly simplified. This led to several wireframe iterations until we arrived at an optimal solution.
Defining Persona & Goals
Consolidating our key insights into 3 goal-oriented personas.
01
Sam Smith
Recruiter managing candidates and companies
Recruiters manage multiple roles, review many candidates, and make fast hiring decisions under constant pressure. Without efficient tools and clear workflows, the process becomes difficult and time-consuming.
02
Liam Bradley
Company Hiring Maneger
Hiring managers often struggle with limited visibility into candidate quality and slow recruitment processes. This makes it difficult to quickly identify the right talent and move forward with confident hiring decisions.
03
Sara James
Candidate
Candidates often struggle to find opportunities that truly match their skills, experience, and career goals. Limited visibility into suitable roles and unclear application processes make it difficult for them to connect with the right companies.
Crafting a Solution
A newly designed job board and career portal that helps recruiters prioritize tasks and make faster hiring decisions.
Leveraging key insights and persona attributes, I identified the need for a solution that seamlessly connects candidates with the right jobs, enabling recruiters to find and match talent more efficiently.
From these insights, we defined the overall job flow with two core components: a job board and a job seeker career portal. The job board enables recruiters to efficiently identify suitable candidates for specific roles and connect them with hiring companies, while the career portal helps job seekers discover opportunities with the right organizations. The dashboard also provides key overview features to support recruitment decisions, outlined below.
01
The dashboard streamlines recruitment by bringing pipelines, questionnaires, video interviews, scorecards, assessments, and other hiring tools into one place for efficient candidate evaluation.
02
Task Overview: Enables recruiters to easily track all tasks, assign responsibilities to team members, and create new tasks—ensuring better coordination and workflow efficiency.
03
Calendar Overview: A monthly calendar view that highlights daily tasks, helping recruiters quickly identify and manage important activities.
04
The Job Seeker Career Portal includes several key features designed to enhance the candidate experience, highlighted below.
What set the solution apart was an experience defined by simplicity and speed, enabling users to book flights with ease—earning strong client appreciation.
01
Candidates get a personalized dashboard to update their profile, manage work history, skills, and education, while easily reviewing messages from companies.
02
Candidates can discover and explore companies that align with their skills and professional expertise.
My solution stands out from other platforms by offering a clean, intuitive interface and comprehensive overviews of every critical part of the recruitment process—capabilities often missing in many tools recruiters currently use.
Insights from Users and Clients
Continuous client feedback and multiple iterations helped shape the product into its final, refined solution.
Throughout the design process, I received detailed feedback from the client on every screen and component, which helped guide the overall UX of the dashboard. This collaborative approach led to multiple iterations, refining the user flows and interface until we arrived at an optimal solution.
The client later shared the dashboard with several active recruiters to gather real-world feedback. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with recruiters highlighting how the system significantly reduced the time required to connect job seekers with companies. They particularly valued the at-a-glance insights into key aspects of the recruitment process, such as revenue tracking, task overviews, and overall hiring activity.
Recruiters also noted that the tool improved time management, simplified their daily workflows, and made the hiring process less stressful while increasing overall productivity. The client provided very positive reviews of the final product, some of which are attached below.
Great to work with, highly skilled and really listens to what I want, then goes the extra mile to ensure I get 100% what I am after. Highly recommend for any design-related work.
