PROCESS (06)

Enrolling our triad into our design workshops worked out wonderfully as our engineers and program managers came with deep product knowledge about the legacy and history of hiring and the product's backend infra. This gave us diverse & comprehensive perspectives as we charted out a plan for MVP.

Identifying & Prioritizing User jobs

A comprehensive list of user jobs across personas were framed and stack ranked. This exercise laid the foundation for our MVP.

USER FLOW (07)

Structure and streamlining the concepts

We develop the user flow to know the apps screens see the future flows, and organize the ideas that we had for the app.

USABILITY STUDY (09)

After completing the low fidelity prototype, We approached the participants that were initially interviewed during my primary research phase to conduct a moderated usability test to analyse how users will interact with the app. The following were the findings acquired:

There should be a prompt asking if the user wants to submit the application or not.
• There should be a page asking questions related to the job.
