Problem Statement
How might we reimagine the hiring process to create a system that goes beyond résumés, allowing job seekers to showcase their skills dynamically while helping employers discover talent based on creativity, potential, and cultural fit?
"I want to be recognized for my skills and potential, not just my job history. I want to find a job where I can truly contribute and grow."
"When I apply to jobs, I don’t know if my skills are being seen beyond my résumé."
"When employers overlook my creative potential because I don’t fit traditional molds."
"When I can’t get a sense of a company’s culture until it’s too late."
"I want to find candidates who not only fit the job but also bring a fresh perspective and energy to my team. I need to know how they’ll perform in real-world situations."
"I can’t get a sense of how candidates think or collaborate from just their resumes."
"It’s hard to assess soft skills like creativity and problem-solving in a conventional interview."
"I don’t want to waste time on a process that doesn’t give me a clear picture of a candidate’s potential."

Insights
01
Candidate Profiles vs. Recommendations
Users were unsure whether the "Candidate Profiles" section displayed all applicants or only those recommended by the AI. This confusion made it difficult to distinguish between actively searching for candidates and reviewing tailored suggestions. A clearer separation between these sections is needed to improve usability.
02
Enhanced Employer Profiles
Employers expressed a desire for more detailed profiles that included company culture insights, team dynamics, and project examples, helping candidates get a clearer understanding of the work environment.
03
Clear Visual Differentiation in Showcase
Users recommended using varied visual elements (e.g., icons, color-coding) to distinguish between different types of skill showcases—such as interactive challenges, video intros, and portfolio links—to create a more intuitive navigation experience.

New users are guided through a set of interactive intro screens that highlight key features of the platform. These screens introduce AI-powered matchmaking, skill-based challenges, and real-time collaboration, ensuring hiring managers understand how to make the most of the platform before diving in.
Find the Right Talent Instantly
Our UI/UX design process focuses on creating intuitive and engaging interfaces. We prioritize user needs to ensure a seamless experience across all platforms.
Seamless Team Collaboration
Hiring is a team effort, so the process for easy collaboration is streamlined. Users can share candidate profiles, collect feedback, and align with team in one place—ensuring a smooth, efficient workflow.
Bringing Candidates to Life
Beyond resumes, short video introductions are integrated so hiring managers can get a real sense of each candidate’s personality and expertise. This allows for a more dynamic and human-centered hiring experience.
