Case 06 of 06
Hiring, end to end.
Applicant tracking for Ethiopia’s largest job board. 62 screens, each in light and dark, on a full design system.
This is the real Figma prototype, running live. Post a job, move candidates along and search CVs, the way recruiters do.
Things to try
These are the real Figma prototypes, embedded live, so they need a stable connection and can still feel slow or skip a step. For the full picture, open the Figma file. Every screen, state, the design system and the components are there.
01Overview
Employers post jobs, move candidates through a pipeline, search CVs and manage their team, all in one place. I designed it end to end over three months for Ethiojobs, Ethiopia’s biggest job board, with a full design system and a dark theme.
02The challenge
Employers posted on Ethiopia’s biggest job board, then managed everything else in spreadsheets and inboxes.
Hundreds of applications per role arrived with no way to rank, tag or move them forward.
Filters needed exact fields that most employers didn’t know how to fill in.
Recruiters hiring for more than one company had to juggle a login for each.
03What it had to do
From posting to shortlisting, fewer clicks and less copying.
Applicants, stages, notes and emails live on the job, not in another tool.
Describe who you need in plain words and still get good matches.
04Who it’s for
Post jobs, screen applicants and move them through stages every day.
Hire for more than one company and switch without logging out.
Review a shortlist, leave notes and make the final call.
05How it came together
Posting, screening, pipelines and payments
Nine areas, from sign in to notifications
Foundations and components first
Light first, then dark from the same tokens
06Key decisions
Writing a full job post from scratch slowed down every new role.
Recruiters write the post by hand, start from a template, or describe the role and let AI draft it. Either way, they review every field before it goes live.
Dozens of screens across nine areas drift apart fast.
Foundations and components came first, and every screen was carried into dark from the same tokens.
07In numbers
Tokens and components shared by every employer screen, from the job card to the pipeline board.
Every screen and state, the components and the design system, in the file I designed it in.
