Company Overview

SmartHire is a leading Recruitment and Staffing SaaS platform designed to help staffing agencies streamline their hiring processes, reduce time-to-hire, and improve candidate experiences. The platform leverages AI-driven tools, real-time analytics, and a user-friendly interface to empower recruiters to achieve their goals efficiently.

Challenges

SmartHire faced several UX challenges that disrupted recruitment workflows and slowed down hiring cycles. The platform's candidate pipeline was confusing, with fragmented navigation between job postings, candidate profiles, and analytics that hindered effective talent tracking. Overwhelming dashboards and inefficient task prioritization further compounded these issues, forcing recruiters to spend extra time managing information instead of focusing on quality hires. Ultimately, these hurdles highlighted the need for a more intuitive, centralized solution to streamline candidate tracking and boost recruiter productivity.

User Research

After conducting initial user research and gathering feedback from users across different roles, we identified some key UX issues and challenges.

Analysing data - What users are doing?
Through analytics tools, we identified inefficiencies in candidate tracking and task prioritization. Recruiters often faced delays in navigating between stages and lacked a centralized view of their pipeline.
Talking to users - Understanding the “WHY”
We conducted interviews with researchers to understand their frustrations. After getting all the insights from the interview we collated and documented personas and user segments to use these to understand user goals, behaviors, and contexts better.
Pain points Uncovered
  • Confusing candidate pipeline visualization slowed down workflows.
  • Fragmented navigation between job postings, candidate profiles, and analytics.
  • Overwhelming dashboards made actionable insights difficult to extract.

Ideate - Prototype - Test

Collaborating with SmartHire’s team, we brainstormed and prototyped solutions that streamlined navigation and made analytics actionable. Wireframes introduced a clean, modular layout with intuitive visuals, making data more accessible.

Solution

Through meticulous user research and iterative prototyping, we crafted a streamlined claims platform that simplifies complex workflows. By prioritizing usability and optimizing the information architecture, we enhanced accessibility, making the claims process faster and more intuitive for all users.
