| Hi Josh, Here are my thoughts as I go through the onboarding process with HiringThing.com. - Registration and confirmation seem pretty straight forward. However, the screen after setting my password is a lot of information with many different steps to move forward. At this point, you might either want to offer a split walkthrough... an option to introduce the new job listing area with a brief walkthrough on ways it can be personalized or an introduction to creating new job listings. - Good job on the "University" aspect of the site. Education on proper use of the site will certainly help your improve engagement on your site. - Creating job listings on the site could be improved. Currently you require all of the information the listing requires upfront without much thought put into the presentation. You may find it easier for your users if they have a step-by-step process which gradually requests the required information. Not only will your users be able to save their progress as they go, but they won't be overwhelmed with the large about of information they'll need to provide for a listing. This is called the progressive reveal...and can be useful anytime you have a lot of steps to cover or a lot of information which needs to be conveyed to the user at once. - In customizing the look and feel of the listing page, consider a preview of each of the preset color schemes. - Spend a little bit of time thinking about how you're laying out the elements in your website. At this point, it's just large blocks of text that the user has to swim through to find what they need. It's most noticeable in the welcome screen/dashboard where you suggest to the user some tasks they could take. - I couldn't go through and post listings and apply to them and see how the rest of the workflow is, but think about the most important and most repeated tasks your users will take and put that front-and-center on the dashboard. It might not be clear to me right now, but when I'm welcomed, there is a lot of suggestions to customize my company page instead of posting listings (maybe more important?). - You have some nav buttons on the top, a dashboard/create a job tab, and then each view sometimes has a few sub-views beneath that. Tighten up the navigation and layout of the pages. The Dashboard, Create a Listing buttons can be groups with the Saved Applications, Account Details and Logout. Consider which buttons you choose for actions, could these features be organized elsewhere in the site to improve how quickly users find what they're looking for? Maybe have just "Dashboard", "Account Details", and "Logout". Your dashboard can then hold your listings and saved applications. Account details will hold everything specific to the account. Might simplify things greatly. Hope these thoughts are helpful for you. :) |
