Program & Tools

Competitive Analysis

My UX Design team and I worked together to create a Competitive Analysis to identify other features that Hiring Managers interact with to gain an understanding of what already exists and works well. Companies anaylized: LinkedIn, Handshake, RippleMatch, SquarePeg and Indeed.

Stakeholder Interview

My UX Design team and I conducted an interview with the CEO of IOD. To gain a deeper understanding of the goals of the company and areas of opportunities.

Journey Map

I created a journey map of the current state of IOD site. The map is a reflection of how a typical hiring manager would interact with IOD process of finding a potential candidate to become an intern for their company.

Feature Concepts

My team and I cultivated a number of sketches showing different features IOD could potential use and be beneficial. We placed these sketches in cards and they became what is know as Feature Concept Cards. The purpose of method is to narrow down what’s most important and scope out how long the developer would need to complete each card. The developer allowed us a 40 hour budget to add these new features we propose.

Kano Analysis

After narrowing down the feature concept cards, we ran a Kano Analysis to determine which of our proposed features would be considered “must-haves” and which would be “anti-features,”

My Recommended Features

  1. Creating a Home Dashboard for Hiring Managers: The goal is to have the Hiring Managers have individual accounts but can access the company page as a team to create conversations, see new potential candidates and get notifications. These three interactions are done by creating widgets on the dashboard page for easy and quick reference.

    Developer scope time to build = 30/35 hours.

  2. Creating a Search and Filter Page to Scan Candidates. The goal is to have a place designed for Hiring Managers to search and filter potential candidates with their companies values in mind. Filters include: Location, GPA, School, Keywords, and Experience.

    Developer scope time to build = 3/5 hours.
