Strengthening a brand while decreasing bounce rates

Lead Designer

I led the redesign of a recruitment agency website, creating a modern, user-centred experience that improved usability and engagement. Working with stakeholders, I translated business goals and user needs into clear user journeys, streamlined information architecture, and responsive UI designs. The project included user flow mapping, wireframing, high-fidelity UI design, and a scalable design system. By applying UX best practices, accessibility principles, and mobile-first design, I delivered a stronger brand experience and made it easier for candidates and employers to connect. https://www.garecruitment.com/

Project focus

Keep retention

90% of people that came, left after seeing the homepage, meaning the majority couldn’t find what they were looking for, didn’t understand what they were seeing or didn’t like what they saw.

Clear and simple flow

The flow must make sense. Understanding user needs, then designing a thoroughly revised user journey, helps this process happen smoother.

Branding

Join the vision/direction and add to it. I wanted to create a compelling narrative that drew in stakeholders and team members. Making it aesthetically pleasing would come naturally.

Recognise points of friction

Redesigned the recruitment website to reduce user friction and create a seamless candidate journey. Simplified navigation, improved information architecture.

Outcomes

Increase in user retention(15%)

Through improved navigation, clearer content hierarchy, and intuitive search and filtering, users could quickly find relevant job opportunities and resources. By reducing friction throughout the candidate journey and optimising key touchpoints, the experience fostered greater trust, increased engagement, and encouraged users to return regularly to explore new vacancies and career opportunities.

Increase in useage

The redesign focused on improving discoverability and increasing website traffic through SEO-informed UX decisions. By optimising the site's information architecture, content hierarchy, metadata strategy, and page performance, I helped create a search-friendly experience that supported higher organic visibility
