METHOD/

FRAMEWORK

Using Design Thinking to shape meaningful experiences

Design Thinking was chosen to ensure the solution stays human-centered, solving real user needs through iterative problem-solving. This method helped us empathize with job seekers, define clear pain points, ideate meaningful features, and test solutions effectively. By focusing on user perspectives at every stage, we aimed to build a product that is not only functional but truly impactful.

THE

PROCESS

Emphatize

In the empathize phase, we focused on uncovering real pain points behind the high unemployment rate among Gen Z. We chose this problem due to its urgency and personal relevance to many fresh graduates navigating the early stages of their careers. To build a user-centered foundation, we conducted interviews with individuals who matched the target demographic.

One of the key interviews was conducted with Wisnuyasha, a recent graduate actively seeking job opportunities. Despite having strong technical skills, he faced several challenges that many Gen Z job seekers also experience. From applying through countless platforms to not receiving any feedback from recruiters, his journey highlighted a deeper frustration and uncertainty in the job search process.

The interview revealed specific pain points, including the need to constantly check multiple job platforms, which felt overwhelming and inefficient. He also struggled with a lack of personalized interview training, relied on a single CV for all applications, and felt unconfident during interviews. Interestingly, he mentioned frequently using tools like ChatGPT to refine his CV, draft interview scripts, and guide his overall job search underscoring a growing trend among Gen Z to lean on AI for career support. These insights became crucial for shaping GetHired’s core features.

STEPS

Define

After mapping out the pain points gathered during the interview phase, we moved forward by creating an User Persona o pen_in_new to represent our target audience more clearly and empathetically. This helped us humanize the data and keep user needs at the center of every design decision.

To organize and make sense of the pain points, we developed an Affinity Diagram open_in_new grouping similar challenges and uncovering key themes. This step clarified which issues were most pressing and revealed potential areas of opportunity.

With clearer patterns in hand, we crafted a focused problem statement to guide the next stages. We then translated this into several How Might We (HMW) questions, setting the stage for ideation by opening up possibilities for a broad range of creative, user-centered solutions.

DEVELOPING

SOLUTIONS

Ideate

In the ideation phase, we began answering the How Might We questions by proposing six key features aimed at solving the identified user pain points. These solutions included: AI Career Coach (Virtual Career Chatbot Assistant), Mock Interview AI with real-time Feedback, AI-powered CV Analysis & Optimization, Career Roadmap & Quiz, Challenges & Achievements with Gamification, and Integrated Job Board & Internship Finder. Each feature was crafted to support Gen Z users through every step of their job-seeking journey.

Once the core features were defined, we moved on to mapping out the User Flow open_in_new, ensuring a seamless journey from onboarding to goal completion. This was followed by creating an Information Architecture open_in_new, to organize the app’s structure and content in a logical and intuitive way.

To conclude the ideation phase, we translated our concepts into quick wireframe sketches using the Crazy 8 open_in_new method. Each sketch was then analyzed and broken down to identify strengths, usability, and alignment with user needs. After thorough evaluation, we selected the most effective ideas to bring forward into the prototyping phase.

THE

OUTCOME

From Ideas to Interactive Prototype

After completing the ideation phase, we transformed the selected wireframe sketches into a cohesive Low-Fidelity open_in_new mockup, serving as the foundation for the app's structure and flow. To ensure consistency and visual clarity, we also developed a Design System and defined a clear Brand Identity for the GetHired app.

With the groundwork in place, the Low-Fidelity mockups were elevated into a polished High-Fidelity design, visually aligned with the brand and enhanced with refined UI components. These screens were then fully connected, resulting in an Interactive Prototype that showcases the intended experience and functionality of the app—you can explore GetHired Prototype here open_in_new

Recently, GetHired was selected as one of the finalists at USU CodeFest, a recognition that highlights its innovation, relevance, and potential impact in tackling real-world career challenges for Gen Z.
