Moove It and EliteGrad’s partnership to transform recruitment
After college, one of the most challenging experiences a young graduate faces is finding their first professional job.
Many industries are highly competitive with thousands of individuals all searching for similar jobs. Recruiters meanwhile find it difficult to find their perfect candidate, with costly and time-consuming processes.
EliteGrad set out to change this. By connecting some of the best students to leading companies in financial services, recruiters can streamline their search. A platform built by recruiters, it offers intuitive features that allow hiring teams to filter out candidates based on their qualifications. It saves time and money for both the candidate and the recruiter.
EliteGrad and Moove It’s partnership
Together with EliteGrad we built a platform, for both the web and mobile, that was easy to use and had an intuitive user experience for students and hiring managers.
On the technical side, we created the platforms and features using languages and tools including React, TypeScript, GraphQL, Node, Hasura, and Auth0.
In addition to the technical focus on developing the platform, Moove It’s Design Studio helped EliteGrad in creating a unique brand, while simultaneously creating a beautiful and intuitive experience for the applications.
How we created a unique brand
Moove It’s Design Studio had the objective to create a unique brand that would be a driving force in taking EliteGrad’s business forward.
We started by creating brand guidelines to make use of the identity elements that EliteGrad already had, while also incorporating new custom icon designs and illustrations.
During this process, we realized that it was the shield shape of the logo that stood out the most. Our objective was to make EliteGrad distinct, with clear competitive differentiation, when creating the perfect logo.
The challenge of red as the main color
Oftentimes, red is a challenging color to use, especially in the realm of UI. In order to combat this issue, our designers inverted the red-gray ratio in the designs, with the purpose of making the red stand out in some of the most prominent places.
The importance of creating a consistent design system
Design systems are the point of convergence between the design team and the development team.
We believe in the benefits of building powerful design systems as an essential tool for more efficient iterations within a project.
Data visualization
By using different visual elements such as charts, graphs and tables, we provided an accessible way for users to visualize and understand student information.
This means hiring managers can clearly access and identify the information they are looking for.
We designed for two different audiences. Students and hiring managers
The role of empty states
We knew that not every student that signs up would complete their profile. That’s why it’s crucial for the application to successfully onboard and engage people during their first interactions.
We designed the platform to encourage individuals to complete their pending information, and so guarantee an attractive profile for hiring managers to see.
The students’ platform
We created dashboards for students to view jobs, events, and companies, as well as the option to view and edit their own profile whenever they need.
We designed a more intuitive and more engaging sign up process, where we guide students through a welcoming path that encourages them to complete their profiles.
