This prototype will allow users that open the job board app to search and apply to or refer an open job listing.


Problem

Users need a way to search then apply for or refer someone to a job. 

Goal

The goal is to create an efficient way for users to refer and apply to jobs.

Role

Product Designer

Responsibilities

Research, Analyzing Data, Ideation, Wireframing, Prototyping, Designing 

Duration

Ongoing

User Research

I conducted meetings with HR managers and stakeholders to find out company goals for the project. I created maps and personas to understand the users I’m designing for and their needs. The primary user group are jobseekers.


Research helped determine needs of users in the designs.


Persona: Name 

Problem statement:

Craig is working family man, who needs extra money and get his friend a job, but he doesn’t have a way to do both; so he needs an app that lets him refer his friend to a job and make money. 

User Journey Map

[Your notes about goals and thought process]

How and why did you choose which path/s to map?

How did you test and validate the map?

What did the journey mapping reveal?

What were the main pain points of the user?

What changed in the design due to user journey mapping?

Starting Design

Sketches


These sketches were meant to be quick design layouts to show to stakeholders to decide on a design that works best for the company's image and works best for development teams.

These are different designs for that give off a the feeling of professionalism, carefreeness, and futurism. Stakeholders and I decide to continue with a simple and professional design.


Wireframes

These are low fidelity wireframes that have been refined from previously chosen sketched designs.

Through internal testing it was found that this basic version was that these wireframes and the prototype created with them good so the basic design will be used for the mockups and high fidelity prototypes. 



Low-Fidelity Prototype

Usability Testing

Issue 1: Users had a problem finding the apply and refer button

Solution 1: Stuck the apply and refer buttons to the screen so it cannot be scrolled passed.

Issue 2: The bounty button was not working

Solution 2: Connect the button to the proper page.

Refined Design

Mockups

High-Fidelity Prototype

Going Forward

Next Steps

Next I well be conducting research find KPIs for the the high fidelity prototype to an external group. Then fixing any problems found.

After that I will go on to create other features of the application.
