Background
ClearanceJobs is one of the leading career platforms in the US. Our collaboration began in 2016, when they asked us to refresh their Web App with a design and engineering complete overhaul. In 2021, we partnered again to build their Mobile Apps, meeting growing user demand and expanding their digital ecosystem for professionals on the go.
Challenge
We had to redesign key flows and rebuild the interface of the WebApp using a component-based architecture, all while ensuring everything continued to work smoothly for their established user base, serving thousands of customers every day. Delivering this level of quality at scale demanded careful planning and meticulous execution.
With that solid foundation in place, the next challenge was to deliver iOS and Android Apps that complemented the existing web experience.
Understanding the Product
Before jumping into visuals or code, we took a deep dive into understanding the product itself. Thanks to the significant amount of features and complex structure, the first step was to map out existing user flows and see how everything fit together. This helped us uncover friction points and opportunities to improve clarity and usability.
Shaping the Experience
With a deep understanding of the product and its users, we shifted our focus to building a strong foundation for future growth.
Our approach centered on designing a scalable design system and a library of reusable UI components. This ensured a cohesive design language, unified interaction patterns, and consistent performance standards across all devices.
With the groundwork complete, we focused on the details that make a product feel effortless. On the Web, we simplified complex workflows and emphasized accessibility and visual hierarchy.
On Mobile, we refined layouts and interactions to fit smaller screens, following iOS and Android guidelines for an intuitive, familiar experience.
Bridging Design and Engineering
Design and development worked side by side from day one, ensuring that every decision translated smoothly into a living product. On the Web, Gitflow practices, testing coverage, and continuous integration through CircleCI and CodeCov ensured quality and stability.
On the Mobile side, we applied the same mindset with an architecture built with the SOLID principles, continuous integration through Bitrise, and tools like OneSignal and Pusher to power real-time messaging and notifications.
The close collaboration between designers and engineers meant both platforms grew together, sharing not only a visual identity but also the same attention to detail and reliability.
