Level up the freelancer recruiting process using AI
Reinventing the recruitment process for more user friendly system
Imagine you are a restaurant owner and you come across a beautifully designed website. You think to yourself, "It would greatly help my business if I could have a website like this!" So, you upload a screenshot of this website to a freelancing platform. In just a few seconds, it gives you a list of people who can create exactly what you want. Wouldn't it be fantastic if this were real?
The issues:
According to survey, 70% of small business owner spends more than 3 hours to look for a freelancer for a supposedly simple project
And 50% of them spent a few days.
According to survey, after business owner found their, supposedly suitable candidate, 80% of them have been told by the artist that they can’t fulfill the requirements.
Therefore the current recruiting process is inefficient and full of misunderstanding
Business owners and freelance artists need a platform that can provide better match

User Testing
A Initial prototype was created and tested on 2 potential users.
They are asked to use the website to input references then choose a website designer. And an interview was conducted afterwards.
User 1 navigated the site smoothly, and spent most time reading the talent page. Afterwards she said that she would like to see more information about the talent like delivery time.
User 2 had some trouble understanding the concept of the website. But she was able to use it smoothly after a short explanation.
