Smart Recruiting: A Multi-Role Workflow Design Study
A structured design and requirements review of a recruitment platform spanning candidates, Talent Acquisition, interviewers, HR, employees, and vendors — from manpower requisition through joining handoff.
Overview
Workflow-centric solution design organizing multi-role journeys, permission boundaries, candidate identity and document handling, status transitions, and offer/joining handoffs. This page describes design and requirements consolidation — not a confirmed production delivery or a personal claim to have built every prototype screen.
Architecture notes
- Role and permission boundaries across candidates, TA, interviewers, HR, employees, and vendors
- Lifecycle modeling from requisition and publication through assessment, verification, offer, and joining
- Requirements-to-prototype traceability as a design artifact
- Offer and compensation treated as design scope, not a published production claim
Problem
Recruitment platforms span many actors and handoffs. Without explicit role boundaries and lifecycle modeling, requirements fragment across tools, spreadsheets, and inconsistent status transitions.
Constraints
- • Production completion not established
- • Mixed historical issue statuses and limited staging evidence
- • Internal tickets, candidate details, and proprietary screen assets stay private
Solution
Consolidated the journey into a multi-role workflow design study: requisition, publication, sourcing/application, assessment/interview, verification, compensation/offer, and joining handoff — with open gaps and approval-needed decisions left visible.
Results
- • Reviewed recruitment workflows and consolidated requirements across candidate, Talent Acquisition, interviewer, HR, employee, and vendor journeys.
- • Made requirement gaps and approval-needed decisions visible rather than implied complete.
- • Kept design status honest — production completion is not established.
Lessons learned
Model responsibilities and state transitions before translating the workflow into screens.
