ZipRecruiter Profile Page Redesign

For this redesign, I had 3 main goals that I wanted to achieve:

• Put contact information and resume front and center.
• Show if a user has been active to allow employers to know if the candidate actively looking for work.
• Reorganize the content to bring work experience higher on the page so the employer doesn't have to scroll as far.

Design Sketches

Initially, I considered a LinkedIn or Twitter (X) style header with a graphic behind the jobseeker's name and contact information. However, I chose to avoid this approach because adding too much visual interest could detract from the page’s minimal design. Additionally, depending on the colors used, it might have made it harder for employers to quickly find the job seeker’s contact details and links.

Redesigned Layout

Maintaining consistent brand standards was important, so I stood as minimal as I could while still showing some character in the design.

I achieved this by utilizing negative space and keeping their very minimal brand colors.

Full Designs

Below you can see the full design in a larger format.

For reference, here is what the original design looks like on ZipRecruiter.com. Please note that this is the logged-in view, which includes edit buttons and other actions available to jobseekers that are not part of the design.

I look forward to hearing feedback and what the thoughts are from our community of designers.

Thanks for taking a look!
