Humble
UX and UI for app concept
Lead Designer
The job search process is due for an overall. Just as Tinder or Bumble disrupted how we date in the modern age, Humble aims to do the same with how we find our next career opportunity.
Humble candidates swipe right if they like a company’s job listing. Recruiters swipe right if they like a candidate’s profile. When both sides swipe right, it’s a match. Once matched, candidates and recruiters have direct access to each other, putting an end to all that anxious waiting.
My role in the project was UX and UI design, including user research, competitor analysis, information architecture, wireframing, and prototyping.
The Problem​
​
Finding a new job can be difficult. Between competition, uncertainty, and the amount of time it takes, individuals are feeling overwhelmed. On top of that, the entire process can feel impersonal and one-sided, leaving candidates in a constant state of unknown.
WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?
​
01. Overwhelming number of job listings
02. Applications can be time-consuming
03. Minimal means of connection between recruiters and candidates
04. Lack of transparency in the process
The Solution​
​
Create an interactive, easy-to-use app that simplifies the job search process. Provide direct access between candidates and recruiters, giving users peace of mind and confidence.
HOW WE CAN HELP
​
01. Hyper-tailored listings based on your preferences and liked/disliked jobs
​
02. Deliver all necessary information on job listings including timeline and process
03. Let candidates know they’re a fit before going through the application process
04. Humanize the process. Create a direct line of communication between candidates and recruiters
DESIGN PROCESS
01. Discover
User Surveys
With a simple Google survey, I gained helpful insight into candidates’ experiences, their thoughts and feelings, and any challenges they faced.

Competitor audit
I looked at top job search engines as well as non-conventional job search apps that are offering something different.
INTRODUCING HUMBLE
Putting humans back into the job search process.
​
Humble believes there is a simpler way to find your dream job and a more compatible way for recruiters to find you.
KEY FEATURE
Tailored Listings
The key to good user experience is delivering the right information to the right people at the right time. Potential listings can get buried if the user’s feed isn’t tailored to their exact needs.
As soon as the user signs up for Humble, they’re prompted to set up their profile, each detail further refining their feed. Once we know this information, we’re able to filter out the clutter, allowing candidates to only receive listings based on their skills and preferences.
KEY FEATURE
Job Match
​
Before putting in all the effort of applying, candidates want to know if they’re even what the hiring team is looking for.
With Humble, candidates swipe right if they like a company’s job listing. Recruiters swipe right if they like a candidate’s profile. When both sides swipe right, it’s a match. Once matched, candidates and recruiters have direct access to each other, allowing for questions, scheduling interviews, and discussing next steps.
