Indeed Re Design App
Problem
As a student job seeker, I found Indeed’s navigation overwhelming, making it difficult to find relevant opportunities.
Solution
I redesigned the platform with a more intuitive and user-friendly interface to enhance the job-seeking experience.
Why Indeed?
I first opened Indeed one night as I applied for a student job. I felt overwhelmed: too many tabs, confusing navigation, filters hidden behind menus. It struck me — if I a UX-design student felt lost, many others must too. That’s what led me to this redesign

Project Details
User Research
Mapping tasks showed that users needed 5–6 steps to perform something as simple as filtering jobs by location. Accessibility testing also revealed that users who increased text size lost visibility of key buttons. Both issues reinforced the need for a cleaner navigation model.
System Analysis
Detailed analysis of navigation, search, & interface revealed user experience strengths.
Identified areas for improvement: filter customization & profile management.
Task Analysis
The task analysis for the Indeed app showed users basically want efficiency in executing direct searches, wherein they want results fast and correct based on the keywords and location.
Profile and resume management, for both employers and candidates, require seamless integration to manage job listings and search candidates by criteria like salary, while job browsing demands easy navigation and effective filters.
User Analysis
For user analysis, we created detailed personas of the Indeed app's existing user base, representing job seekers, employers, and recruiters.
These personas helped us understand user goals, pain points, and behavior patterns to enhance the app's user experience.
