Designing a Hiring Dashboard to Evaluate Technical Talent at Scale
Project Summary
Designed an internal hiring dashboard that enabled Onramp’s selection team to efficiently review, evaluate, and track technical candidates. The system centralized candidate history, evaluation signals, and reviewer feedback to support fairer and more scalable hiring decisions.
Company: Onramp
Role: Lead UX Designer
Duration: 1 Month
Platform: Internal Hiring Tools
Context
As Onramp scaled, the team needed to evaluate a rapidly growing number of candidates from non-traditional backgrounds. Existing workflows relied on spreadsheets, fragmented tools, and manual coordination, making it difficult to track candidate progress and maintain consistent evaluation standards.
Focus areas:
evaluation workflows
top talent discovery
data organization
candidate communication automation
🔎 The Problem
Recruiters and selection team members struggled with:
fragmented candidate data across multiple tools
difficulty comparing candidates at scale
inconsistent evaluation criteria between reviewers
limited visibility into candidate history and feedback
time-consuming manual communication with applicants
These inefficiencies slowed the hiring process and made it harder to surface strong candidates.
💻 My Role
I led the UX design of a centralized candidate evaluation system, collaborating with founders and the selection team to understand their workflows and decision-making process.
My work included:
stakeholder interviews
workflow mapping
information architecture
dashboard and candidate profile design
batch evaluation tools
automated candidate communication flows
Collaborated with: founders, selection team, engineering
🤝 Key Insights
Through close cross-functional collaboration with stakeholders, the following key insights emerged:
Evaluation requires context
which only existed across different types of candidate datapointsComparison is critical
hiring decisions aren't made in isolation, it was necessary to compare multiple candidates at onceCommunication was time consuming
manually sending next-step, acceptance, and rejection emails created unnecessary operational overhead
These insights were critical to creating a scalable, efficient candidate evaluation system that would grow with the company.
⚙️System Workflow
Before jumping in to interfaces, it was important understand how the hiring system works with a simple diagram.
This system allows the selection team to evaluate and identify top performers and would inform the interfaces necessary to build a scalable system to replace the current manual process.
🎯Candidate Interview Feedback
Interviewers needed a fast way to submit unbiased feedback during candidate interviews.
To solve this, it was important to break interview feedback down into structured data fields. This ensured consistency, quality, and fairness in scoring categories. Additionally, modularity provided an easy way to conduct multiple types of interviews.
Key design decisions:
• Structured feedback fields
• Quick scoring signals
• Confirmation state after successful submission
