Design Process

Research and Understanding

For the research part of the project, we already prepared three sets of questionnaires for different parties in this project, including recruiting team, people unit leads (PUL), and consultants. Apart from questionnaires, we had several one-to-one usability tests with each party to evaluate the status of the available solution for heuristic evaluation purposes. In the next step, affinity diagrams and main problems were detected.

Value proposition

Personas and user stories

The main user was identified as recruiting team, with the main task of skill matching for client opportunities. The secondary user group was categorized as informative users, including people unit leads (PULs) and consultants, to have limited access to the platform to check about the possible opportunities and status of the offers.
