Design

Concept definition

Now it't the time to decide the design solution(s) for EndeavourX which is having their own website not with Endeavour Group, but be linked to Endeavour Group to show the connection to some well-known brands like Dan Murphy or BWS. because:

Michelle was unable to find any information about EndeavourX online, as EndeavourX does not have an online presence.

The Endeavour Group website does not resonate with Michelle as it looks basic and not attractive enough to absorb tech savvy.

Michelle found it very difficult, confusing and complicated to find and apply for EndeavourX roles using the Endeavour Group career portal.

I.a (Information architecture)

After Design Solution, the information to address Michell's pain points, needs to be structured as:

Objective for the website:

Create an easy pathway to find and apply for a job at EndeavourX.

Help Michelle to learn more about EndeavourX

Make EndeavourX tech-friendly (Visually)

A quiz was developed to help provide engaging, interactive content to assist with career pathway finding at EndeavourX.
Articles that speak to 'A day in the life' of an EndeavourX employee.
Short videos and articles that speak to what each Tribe does, and an overview of the Agile team structure.

A user flow were then developed to confirm the paths that Michelle would take when using the ideas being developed from the Ideation Workshop.

Visual Design

Low-Fidelity Prototype:

Develop a'careers' website for Endeavour X, which includes general company information, an insight into the company culture, the teams, and a pathway to apply for careers.

Below is some example of LOW FIDELITY prototypes that user tested at early concept stage.

Mid-Fidelity Prototype:

Some decisions we made about the visual style:

We decided to go with the current brand identity (based on materials provided to us by Endeavour Group).

As the website is targeted towards a younger audience (18 to 35 year olds), we decided to make the website professional but have a fun element.

We stayed close to the colour palette of EndeavourX. We decided to use the 'X' feature a motif on the website for consistency.

After many iterations and feedback loops, here we have two different MID-FID design.

User testing was undertaken to determine the elements of each mid-fidelity version, with regards to the layout that appealed the most to Michelle.

Hi-Fidelity Prototype:

User Testing Feedback:

4/5 people said it’s good to have a mix of video and text to explain the hiring process.

4/5 people said they love the picture next to 'About EndeavourX'.

“They look like they’re friends and workmates, they look goofy and enjoying their work”.

4/5 people the homepage has a “techy” feeling to it.

5/5 people they can clearly understand EndeavourX’s brands.

Pathways

Future roadmap

Throughout the development of the career portal, a few key insights came up in our secondary research for future. This included having the ability to login to the careers portal and 'like' or 'save' jobs. We also felt that integrated interview scheduling via apps like Calendly could be useful to help fast-track interviews, knowing candidates are often interviewing for multiple roles
