WrkSense: Multi-role candidate management for recruitment agencies
Role: Product Designer · Timeline: 2024 · Team: 2 UX/UI designers, fullstack dev, CEO
WrkSense gives recruitment agencies one place for candidate management, communication, and collaboration across four connected user types: recruiters, candidates, companies, and agencies. Meeting scheduling, candidate tracking, and shared notes all live in the same tool.
The problem
Recruiters, candidates, companies, and agencies each needed a distinct workflow inside one coherent platform, and the client’s branding was still changing while we built it.
Research & ideation
Studied existing recruitment platforms to find the friction, then worked out how to organize interactions between four user types, including how meeting scheduling and candidate tracking should behave.
Wireframing & prototyping
Mapped candidate profiles, recruiter dashboards, and meeting management in wireframes, then built interactive prototypes to visualize flows between the different roles.
UI design
Designed the final UI for clarity per role while the client's branding was still in development. The feedback loop ran through several rounds before they settled on a direction and stopped moving it.
Feedback & iteration
Iterated with the client and internal stakeholders as requirements evolved, keeping role-based access controls and dashboards intuitive throughout.
Challenges & solutions
- Four user types, one experience — Challenge: Each role had distinct needs and expectations. Solution: Role-based access controls, tailored dashboards, and flexible flows per role.
- Evolving branding — Challenge: The client visual direction changed frequently mid-project. Solution: Stayed iterative, exploring and refining until the final style aligned with product goals.
The outcome
Delivered the UX/UI for a multi-role platform with role-based access, meeting scheduling, and shared candidate notes, designed alongside two other designers and held together by one shared system.
- 4 user types served by one platform
- 4 core workflows: tracking, scheduling, notes, roles
- 3 designers kept consistent by one system
Key takeaways
- Four roles in one platform means four answers to every layout question
- Building the system before the brand let us swap the surface without redrawing screens
- Role-based access is a design decision long before it is an engineering one
