How a Recruitment Platform Revamped Its Job Detail Page for a Younger Audience

Current Background

The sudden pandemic disrupted the recruitment market, burdening many SMEs and flooding job seekers. As one of the largest recruitment platforms, we needed to improve the experience for both employers and candidates, starting with a redesign of the job‑detail page.

Problem Identification

Design style lagged behind the changing, younger user demographics (mainly 21‑30 years old).

Information duplication and poor readability caused confusion, especially regarding company address and whether a position was agency‑posted.

Unclear module hierarchy made the page feel cluttered; excessive fields added by product iterations reduced modularity.

Design Goals

Adopt a "young, healthy hiring" concept, emphasizing innovation, layering, focus, and efficiency. The visual style should feel youthful, and the layout must highlight key information while simplifying redundant content.

Design Deliverables

Visual style upgrade : increased corner radius, brighter brand colors, and more rounded elements.

Modular layering : clear division into job info, HR info, company info, and other sections; high‑frequency details placed prominently.

Content focus and efficiency : merged duplicate tags, refined wording, and highlighted important labels.

Enhanced interactivity : added micro‑animations, bubble‑style HR narratives, and competitive analysis data to aid decision‑making.

Multimedia integration : optional image, video, or VR modules replace the map when richer media are available, improving authenticity.

Project Summary

By listening to real user feedback and grounding decisions in data, the redesign clarified information hierarchy, merged similar items, removed redundancy, and improved readability, enabling candidates to make faster, more confident hiring decisions. The solution was recognized by the product team and strengthened design influence in future projects.

Future Improvements

Integrate real‑time competitive analysis data into the analysis module.

Enable default playback for company videos and VR content.

Further refine the layering and interaction of the job‑detail page.
