Visma Recruit's ad creation interface was showing its age, both in terms of design and functionality. The process was cumbersome, involving multiple steps that were not only time-consuming but also unintuitive for many users. My primary goal was to streamline the process, enhancing efficiency and simplifying user interactions.
Lack of integration: The recruitment profile is not integrated into the system. This forces users to navigate back and forth between different platforms, which disrupts their workflow and introduces unnecessary complexity.

Lack of guidance: The absence of proper guidance made it challenging for users to understand the required actions and complete the ad creation successfully.
Need: A streamlined process that eliminates unnecessary steps and reduces the time and effort required for ad creation
Cumbersome content creation: Issues such as difficulties in formatting, uploading media, and organizing information hampered their efficiency and overall user experience.

Through the optimization of the workflow and a reimagining of the information architecture, the ad creation process was successfully streamlined, reducing the steps required from 5 to 3. The recruitment profile was seamlessly integrated, granting users access to critical information within a consolidated interface, removing the necessity for frequent platform transitions. To tackle the challenge of insufficient guidance, a strategic implementation of contextual tips and tooltips was introduced throughout the ad creation journey, providing valuable assistance for users in understanding necessary actions. Furthermore, to address the intricacies of content creation, the solution included the incorporation of a user-friendly drag-and-drop feature for media uploads, accompanied by an interactive preview of the final ad's appearance.
