Project: Hiring pipeline system built on Airtable free tier
Description: Hiring was being tracked across spreadsheets and email threads, which made it difficult to see where candidates were in the process and led to missed follow ups. I built a custom applicant tracking system in Airtable to manage the entire hiring pipeline in one place. The system includes a kanban pipeline for tracking candidates across stages, a structured setup for managing multiple roles, and individual candidate records with interview notes. It also includes a simple application form for capturing new candidates, pre filled email buttons for sending responses, and an optional scoring system to prioritise candidates.
Tools: Airtable free tier
Outcome: Clear visibility across the hiring process, all candidates tracked in one place, and faster, more consistent follow ups without relying on spreadsheets or paid tools.

Candidate portal for an AI-powered Workforce platform
BuildWithin — Candidate Portal is the full redesign of the candidate experience inside BuildWithin's transformation into an AI-powered Workforce platform. The original platform had been built for a different market; we evolved it so candidates, Talent Managers, Case Managers, Administrators, and Super Admins could all operate within the same ecosystem, each with completely different needs. The most critical process was eligibility validation: traditionally manual, it required candidates to upload multiple documents while administrators reviewed each one for category, expiration, signatures, profile match, and image quality — often re-reviewing the same document valid across several categories. As Lead Product Designer I led the design end to end: defined the candidate experience, designed the core flows, and continuously validated decisions alongside Product, the client, and BuildWithin's CEO, aiming to automate document validation, cut review time, avoid duplicates, and improve the candidate experience without losing the platform's ability to scale across different Workforce organizations.
