Outcome

The Challenge
The client wanted to test the hypothesis: "Is there a market for a job platform for technical roles in heavy industries?" In order to validate this idea, this meant solving for:
Communication: Clearly expressing the platform’s value to both job seekers and employers.
User Experience: Designing intuitive UX for two different user groups.
Credibility: Displaying high-quality, trustworthy listings that convert.
The Process
The client had a very definite idea for the structure and layout of the website, along with its content. We started with an initial design for the platform which did not resonate well with the goal, and eventually iterated towards a design that was more pronounced and characterful. Much emphasis was placed on populating the platform with job listings which needed to be both accurate and enticing to prospective job seekers, which leveraged Framer's CMS feature to its full effect.
The Solution
The final MVP was built for trust and usability, and featured a clean, responsive design across desktop, tablet, and mobile. To appeal to job seekers, it features a filtering system to browse jobs by sector and location, with clear calls to action and structure job details, and built-in guardrails for content integrity and security.

Key Results
50% conversion from homepage → job board
3% conversion from job board → listing
These early traction signals suggested a clear interest from job seekers and helped validate the initial hypothesis.
Learnings
When validating an idea, speed is a key component but the right balance needs to be struck with a compelling design. A focus on clear UX, user intent, and simple analytics proved to be enough to help test assumptions without having to overbuild a solution and wait for too long.
