One of my main tasks when working in an innovative university, was to innovate. And I loved it!.
The Challenge
As part of my interest of building a community between companies and students, my team and I redesigned the job search website, changing the look and feel with a new logo, name, and features to provide a better user experience.
The New Design
This platform provided a different and enhanced experience for companies in Peru since they are used to logging into the universities’ job websites that did not have any personalization. The new name Conecto: Connecting Talent with Opportunities, helped companies align with the goal of the site and additionally, they reported having a better user experience from the beginning of the recruitment process.
The experience was boosted by the design of new features. These features included: personalized welcome email from Career Services — both for companies and students, tailor-made tutorials for companies and students to navigate the platform easily, and different communication channels and tools to reach out to Career Services at any point in the recruitment process.
At the same time, this platform provided students with the chance to use an intuitive tool, allowing them to explore job opportunities that better matched their needs. This system was launched in September 2016 and Career Services continues to use it today.
