Deepen your analytical and UI design skills by creating a profile page for hiring.

Design Scenario

As a UI/UX designer for a hiring service, your task is to improve the profile page of users based on user feedback. The goal is to make the profile page visually clear and straightforward for potential hiring managers.

Design Task

Your design task is to complete the following:

• Select a hiring service and the device type for your profile page design.
• Identify and analyze the main issues that users, both hiring managers and job seekers, encounter when interacting with the profile page.
• Design an improved profile page.
• Provide a detailed justification for your design decisions.
• Use the provided mobile and desktop templates to showcase your designs.

Evaluation criteria

Your project will be evaluated using the following criteria:

• Content — Does the content serve its purpose, have high quality, and contribute to the full functionality of the project?
• Visual design — Do designs effectively engage the user through strategic use of color, typography, and imagery?
• Usability — Can users perform tasks safely, effectively, and efficiently while enjoying the experience?

As part of my task to improve an hiring service’s profile page, I focused on making the profile experience more intuitive and user-friendly for both job seekers and hiring managers. The goal was to streamline the mobile interface, making essential information easily accessible and improving the overall flow for a quick yet comprehensive understanding of user profiles.

Key Issues Identified

1. Information Overload: The page was cluttered, making it hard to scan key details quickly.
2. Limited Customization: Users couldn’t effectively prioritize important sections.

Design Solutions

1. Simplified Layout: The redesigned page features collapsible sections for easy navigation. Key details like the profile picture, name, and job title are now at the top, followed by distinct sections such as Media, Resume, and Interests.
2. Improved Customization: Users can now highlight featured media or portfolios, ensuring key projects are prominently displayed.
3. Streamlined Navigation: Buttons for “Edit Profile” and “Share Profile” are clearly visible, and a more intuitive layout allows quick access to settings, support, and logout.

Conclusion

The redesigned hiring service’s mobile profile page provides a cleaner, more efficient user experience, improving both usability and customization options for job seekers and hiring managers.
