Laborup for Recruiters
Company
Laborup
Scope
Reduce recruiter effort/time while increasing trust in matches.
Role
Redesigned recruiter search and candidate matching flow. Reduced time-to-first-hire by 40%.
Engagement
Sprints
Problem
Recruiters were juggling a dozen roles at once, but the existing experience slowed them down: matches were hard to trust, profiles felt vague, filters weren’t relevant, and actions were buried.
What I focused on
Trust at scan speed: surface work history + skills in context so recruiters can decide faster.
Action without breaking flow: preview → decide → move to the next candidate in one view.
Real-world filtering: skills, location, certifications prioritized for industrial roles.
Fewer steps to outreach: less toggling, faster contact with the right candidates.

Key decisions
Make matches legible at a glance
Recruiters couldn’t trust the AI match because key context was missing. The redesign prioritized scannable, role-relevant signals (experience, skills, certifications) so “yes/no/maybe” decisions happen fast.
Keep recruiters in one continuous flow
Instead of forcing profile-hopping, the experience supports previewing and acting without losing place, reducing cognitive load and speeding outreach.
Filters should mirror the real job instead of generic HR taxonomies
The filtering model emphasized industrial hiring reality (location, certifications, skills) so recruiters narrow candidates with confidence.
