  • Simplify the job search experience.
  • Identify the target user personas.
  • Clearly communicate the business model throughout the experience.

  • Conduct UX research to identify target personas.
  • Redesign candidate and recruiter journeys.
  • Improve clarity, engagement and usability.
  • Communicate the platform's value proposition at key touchpoints.
