Job Matching Platform

I led the end-to-end product design for an AI-powered job matching platform that transforms how job seekers discover opportunities and manage their application pipeline. Over one month, I designed a complete job seeker experience that reduced application workflows from hours to minutes while providing transparent AI-driven match analysis.

The Challenge

Job seekers faced significant friction in discovering relevant opportunities and managing their application process across multiple platforms and tools.

Time-Intensive Job Search

Job seekers spending hours daily searching across multiple job boards, manually filtering through irrelevant positions, and losing track of promising opportunities.

Opaque Matching Logic

Existing platforms provided basic keyword matching without transparency into why positions were recommended or how well candidates actually aligned with requirements.

Fragmented Application Tracking

No unified way to track application status, manage different pipeline stages, or maintain organized records of cover letters and application materials.

Generic Application Materials

Creating tailored cover letters and application materials for each position required significant manual effort, leading to generic applications that didn't highlight relevant experience.

This forced job seekers into inefficient workflows, applying to poorly-matched positions while missing better opportunities buried in search results.

Solution Overview

My focus was on designing an intelligent matching system with transparent AI analysis and comprehensive pipeline management that guides job seekers from discovery to offer acceptance.

Smart Matching with Transparent Analysis

I designed an AI-powered matching system that provides detailed skill breakdowns across three categories: Specialized Skills, Software Skills, and Common Skills. Each match includes clear rationale explaining why positions align with the candidate's background, making the AI recommendations trustworthy and actionable.

Transparent rationale for each recommendation

Comprehensive Pipeline Management

I created a multi-stage tracking system with five distinct phases: Highly Interested, Maybe Later, Applied, and Not Interested. This allows job seekers to organize opportunities by interest level and track application progress with status updates and important dates.

AI-Powered Gap Analysis & Interview Prep

For each job match, I designed an analysis panel that identifies Strong Matches to Highlight, Areas to Address, and Potential Interview Questions. This transforms job descriptions into actionable interview preparation, helping candidates focus their pitch and anticipate questions.
