As the Product Design Lead, I work to bring consistency and cohesion throughout the HireVue application by working closely with Product Design team members and UI developers. I’m responsible for leading out on cross-team projects, design team initiatives, and am a source of knowledge for all areas across the HireVue app. Additionally, I lead, mentor, onboard, and grow the Product Design team by organizing design meetings/reviews, manage team software, direct user research studies for holistic feedback of the HireVue application, and arrange continued education opportunities for the product design team to participate in. Outside of the Product Design team, I am an advocate for design thinking, user experience, and user research with HireVue leadership.

As a member of the ATS and Recruiter Experience team, I was responsible for the discovery and design of new features and user workflows, helping manage the teams’ roadmap and resource allocation, and planning release commitments.

Some of the ways I have accomplished this is by creating new integrations with ATS’s such as Workday, Success Factors, and Oracle Recruiting Cloud to help automate tasks and create a seamless flow of data between systems. Beyond new integrations, I continually worked to improve additional ATS integrations, built out new features to automate the creation of positions in HireVue and drive consistency throughout the app to create a more seamless experience for the user.
