Key Improvements

Interface solution

Optimized user flows that reduced drop-off rates and streamlined the hiring process for both roles: Candidate and Recruiter

Candidate Experience

Recruiter Experience

Problem statement

Conversion Rate Issues

Poor candidate experience led to 60% drop-off rate during application process, limiting our talent pipeline and slowing team growth.

Time-to-Value Delays

Manual interview scheduling created 2-week delays, causing us to lose top candidates to competitors and miss growth targets.

Scaling Inefficiencies

Recruiters spent 70% of time on admin tasks instead of strategic candidate engagement, creating a growth ceiling.

Data Blind Spots

Lack of hiring analytics made it impossible to optimize our talent funnel and predict scaling capacity.

Multi-Touchpoint Optimization

What problem areas does AI impact?

Target International candidate pools

Not every customer has a marketing team. Provides performance insights across teams with next steps. Flags employee flight risks and provides prescriptive guidance. Scales multilingual experiences.

Create personalized outreach at scale

Personalized outreach

Create personalized outreach at scale

Even within a marketing team, not everyone is a talented content creator. Writes and personalizes emails, SMS, WhatsApp messages, and campaigns to candidates. Interprets notes and creates tasks to be completed.

Deliver structured interview assessments

AI gives our users the confidence and feasibility to continually improve their recruitment process. Publishes comprehensive interview feedback in real time for decision makers.

Maintain active job marketing

Not every customer invests in regularly updating content. AI addresses this by automating content updates and streamlining hiring workflows, freeing teams to focus on strategic tasks.

PROCESS

Understanding how, what, and when AI can improve the hiring process.

The primary objective was to implement AI that genuinely improves the hiring process, rather than being just a trendy feature that users would ultimately ignore.

Phenom users share their insights on the AI tools they utilize in their work.

Main takeaways

Speaking to Phenom users about their AI experience was super insightful and helped us make key decisions for our initiatives.

📈

Show value upfront

💡

Show AI value upfront to boost adoption

Many recruiters skip pre-interview AI tools because they don't see immediate benefits. Simple onboarding that shows time savings increases usage.

🎯

Add AI scores

🎯

Personalized outreach

Users want to trust AI matching but need to know how confident the system is. Showing match percentages helps recruiters make faster decisions

🔔

Automate follow-ups to prevent talent loss

⚠️

Automate follow-ups to prevent talent loss

Great candidates slip through because recruiters forget to follow up. Smart reminders can reduce drop-off

✨

Make AI content feel human and personal

Generic AI-written emails hurt candidate experience. Company-specific templates save time while maintaining personal touch

Validating and prioritizing
new functions

Team brainstorming and validating new AI feature ideas.

PROCESS

Working directly in code with developers and dev tools

This hands-on approach was necessary to identify and fix mismatches between the design and the implementation, ensuring the product matched the intended user experience.

PROBLEM

Challenges along the way

Integrating AI into a suite of 10 sub-products was complicated by independent teams, fragmented design systems, and uneven adoption of standards, resulting in inconsistent UX and misalignment across the ecosystem.

📍Solution & My role

Conducting a design audit

Evaluated all sub-products to identify shared patterns, pain points, and key differences.

Creating a Unified Framework

Spearheaded the development of a scalable design system and an AI integration guide to ensure consistency while allowing flexibility for product-specific needs.

Driving team alignment

Organized workshops and cross-functional meetings to align teams on shared design principles and best practices for integrating AI.

Facilitating adoption

Addressed resistance by customizing solutions for each team and demonstrating the value of a unified approach.

Research Design Patterns.

Impact

Through these efforts, I bridged the gap between fragmented designs and a unified system, ensuring the successful integration of AI across the ecosystem.
