Problem

In enterprise hiring, requisition creation involves multiple teams but the product supported only a rigid, single-user model. This misalignment with real-world led to offline dependencies, limited visibility, and fragmented ownership across the intake lifecycle.

Approach

Designed a flexible, role-aware intake flow enabling async collaboration with clear visibility and progressive completion.

Shaped it as a scalable frontend foundation for future AI-led form orchestration.

Impact

Accelerated intake alignment (≈40% faster).

Reduced back-and-forth by enabling shared ownership and clear responsibilities.

Helped unblock onboarding for a major enterprise customer.

Learning

Learned to design for scale in enterprise UX while balancing constraints with future extensibility & working with systems that can evolve into intelligent, agentic workflows.

Grew confidence in navigating ambiguity to shape product designs through collaboration with PMs, engineers, & stakeholders.
