Through end-to-end process reinvention and technology enablement, our team of experienced search professionals are delivering results other firms simply cannot.
We are founded by repeat entrepreneurs who've previously raised over $100M from VCs including A16Z, GV, and KPCB. Our team looks like the technology companies we serve, combining software developers, PhD’s, and talent professionals, and we are backed by top VCs, talent leaders, and the founders of high-growth startups including Opendoor, Newfront Insurance, and Lattice.
The Role
As a Senior Product Designer, you will help guide stakeholders to innovative UX outcomes for our users. Tackling problems at the intersection of people, process, and technology, you will contribute to our mission of helping every candidate find their dream job & every employer find their ideal candidate. You will work closely with our talented Product Development team in a fast-paced, rapidly accelerating environment, to create amazing experiences.
As we continue to scale our offering into candidate & employer facing products, you will have significant ownership within a product vertical and work on a variety of projects that are both challenging and exciting. You will use your full range of skills as a Product Designer including strategic thinking, UX, user research, & visual design to drive projects forward successfully. If you are a creative problem solver and would enjoy working on products that take the stress out of job discovery, interviewing, & hiring— we are excited to meet you!

In this role you will:
- Work closely with Product, Engineering, and our Agency teams to drive our products toward better iterations
- Reduce complex problems down into a set of requirements that strike the right balance between flexibility, power, & ease of use
- Conduct user research with internal and external parties
- Build prototypes to test concepts and help further communicate your design ideas, behaviors, and interactions
- Present work in a range of fidelities to effectively communicate your vision
- Regularly participate in design reviews to share your work and elicit feedback

- Think creatively and boldly in a way that helps Candidate Labs reimagine the recruiting industry

- Are action-oriented — thinking big, starting small, acting fast (one of our values) — producing deliverables at each stage of the design process
- Can easily switch between high-level thinking about the business to hands-on tactical work
- Think in terms of systems, rather than one-off solutions, to enable scalability across our design ecosystem
- Have a proven track record of creating designs that have led to successful outcomes

- Candidate Experience — Provides a candidate with tools & features for a smooth interviewing process
- Employer Portal — Helps clients gain visibility into their pipeline
