Key Outcomes
Overcoming key UX challenges
Enhancing Transparency and Efficiency with a Real-Time Application Tracking Portal
Designed and implemented a user-friendly application tracking portal that enables applicants to track the status of their submissions in real-time. This solution enhances transparency, reduces user frustration, and significantly decreases the volume of inquiries administrators need to handle, leading to a more efficient workflow and improved user satisfaction.
Optimizing Job Search with Advanced Filtering Options
Implemented multiple filtering options, allowing users to refine job searches based on criteria such as location, industry, experience level, and job type. This feature streamlines the job search process, helping users quickly find the most relevant opportunities while reducing time spent sifting through irrelevant listings.
Simplifying Applications with a Comprehensive User Profile Section
Developed a detailed profile section where students can store essential information, such as personal details, work experience, skills, and certifications. This feature enables autofill capabilities for applications, reducing repetitive data entry, minimizing errors, and expediting the job application process for a smoother user experience.
