Hiresol is a talent acquisition platform designed to connect companies with highly skilled professionals. While the client had developed a rough design for the talent acquisition module, it lacked clarity, consistency, and streamlined user flows.
The goal was to enhance the existing UX to ensure hiring managers, recruiters, and candidates experience a seamless journey, from job posting to candidate evaluation.
The initial design for the talent acquisition module felt fragmented, with unclear navigation and inconsistent UI patterns. Recruiters struggled to track candidates, evaluate applications efficiently, and collaborate with team members, which slowed down the hiring cycle.
Goal: Improve the UX of the Talent Acquisition module by simplifying flows, ensuring consistency, and highlighting critical actions to help recruiters hire faster and with confidence.

I focused on creating a more intuitive experience that supports recruiters at every step of the hiring journey.
