challenge

Hiring that sees beyond keywords

Workhiro set out to bring a data-first perspective to recruitment. Traditional HR systems filtered candidates by keywords and formatting, often eliminating strong applicants too early. The goal was to design an interface that helped recruiters see skills and experience clearly not just parse resumes.

constraints

Complex workflows, clear expectations

Recruitment processes differ widely across teams and regions. The system had to support multiple roles, approval paths and data views without fragmenting the experience. The challenge was to keep that flexibility while maintaining a single, predictable interface that stayed fast, clear and easy to read.

process

Designing structure into flow

We mapped how recruiters actually move through candidate evaluation. Scanning, comparing, shortlisting and reviewing. Those patterns shaped a kanban-inspired system where each card held the right depth of data at the right time. I led design direction and system architecture, defining how information scaled from list view to detailed profiles. The interaction model prioritised speed: no extra clicks, no hidden steps.

principles

Data first, design second

Typography, spacing and colour were used to surface hierarchy rather than decorate it. Visual noise was replaced with readable structure. The platform handled annotations, evaluations and progress tracking in one flow so teams could collaborate without losing focus. Every design decision aimed to make hiring feel analytical, not administrative.
