A hiring SaaS, end to end · Alden, UI/UX & Graphic Designer

Context

Workscreen.io is a SaaS hiring management system built for small businesses that want to hire well without the bloat of an enterprise applicant-tracking system. The engagement covered the whole product, not a slice of it: the marketing site that makes the argument, the main application where the hiring actually happens, and the admin-side back end that keeps it running.

The problem

A product like this lives or dies on whether the promise and the experience agree. Teams arrive expecting "simple," so the marketing site, the product, and the admin views all had to feel like one continuous thing rather than three tools wearing the same logo. Designing all three at once meant keeping the language, the patterns, and the level of effort consistent from the first landing-page scroll through to a screened candidate.

Process

Designed the marketing site to set expectations

The front-facing site had to make a clear, honest argument for the product so that the simplicity it promised was the simplicity the product delivered on first run, with no gap to lose trust in.

Built the core product flow

The main SaaS focused on the shortest honest path from posting a job to screening candidates, pressuring every step to justify its place and defaulting or removing the ones that didn't.

Covered the admin back end

The admin side reused the same components and patterns as the product, so the team managing the system worked in something that felt like the same product rather than a separate internal tool.

Outcome

Workscreen shipped as one coherent product across all three surfaces. New users met an experience as direct as the pitch that brought them in, and the team had a consistent component set they could extend as the product grew without redrawing the lines each time.
