End-to-end portal redesign
Job seekers were leaving before they even applied.
Finding a job shouldn't feel like navigating a broken system. But on OptimHire's candidate portal, it did. No guidance on where to start. No feedback on whether your profile was ready. No confirmation after applying. Users weren't disengaged they were lost.
User quotes : "It doesn't feel like job search platform. It feels like a Ads posting page."
87% of users reported confusion on their first visit. 40-50% dropped off after clicking Apply.
A confident, guided apply experience rebuilt across three stages. From confused and lost to clear, supported, and in control.
User quote
"Now I know exactly what to do the system feels smarter and more supportive."
Every touchpoint. Redesigned.
Smart Job Discovery — Structured search with role badges, remote filters, and inline job preview no page reload.
Guided Apply Flow —Single unified flow with grouped inputs, inline modal edits, and real-time profile match indicators.
Application Status Tracking — Clear stage progression — Applied → Shortlisted → Offer → Hired, with contextual next-step CTAs.
