The goal
The project aimed to engineer a specialized placement platform with dual objectives: first, to facilitate skill-centric employment opportunities for recent graduates, and second, to elevate the educational institution as a vanguard of innovation within a competitive academic ecosystem
The challenge
Firstly, to focus on showcasing talents and soft skills instead of experience; and secondly, to create a system that placement managers would find both useful and easy, and even cause them “addiction” to it
The solution
To date, hiring managers have only received dry data about potential candidates. The solution reimagines candidate evaluation by spotlighting skills and soft skills, offering hiring managers a fuller picture beyond just experience.
Furthermore, the platform’s user experience was meticulously crafted, featuring precise user personas, a harmonious color scheme, and a visually compelling graphic language designed to engage and retain the attention of placement managers
The system is designed for three types of users

User testing
I had a doubt about the preferred filter method on the job page and verified it by user testing. I presented several possible methods and thus reached the most suitable method for the target audience.
