Dice Employer Experience
Lead UX Designer, 2017-2020
Dice, is a leading career site for technology professionals. The Employer experience had been overlooked for several years and in dire need of an overhaul, from lead generation to tools and workflows for hiring the right candidate.
From the front of the experience, this end-to-end effort involved creating an Employer site to show standardized Dice pricing, generate the Most Qualified Leads (MQLs) and capture them in Salesforce.
At the same time, auhtenticated feature improvements called for an iterative approach to keep customers coming back for improvements, without disrupting their work while providing more AI to work smarter.
Goal: To be the trusted partner and an indispensable solution for all tech hiring needs. Empower clients with tools, information and community to optimize engagement with quality candidates more effectively.
Increased speed-to-lead
With the creation of Dice.com/hiring we increased our Net Promoter Score (NPS) by 15 points and converted more Most Qualified Leads (MQLs) to close. With reduced budgets due to COVID-19 it has become vital to capture qualified leads, nurture leads, convert leads, and connect them quickly to Sales.
Situation
Recruiters could be more efficient with one workflow for posting and sourcing. The experience integrated its AI-powered TalentSearch solution into its job management as part of a total redesign of the interface, providing tech employers the fastest way to a candidate shortlist. Improvements to the employer experience also included significant enhancements to job posting and application management, helping employers easily manage the tech hiring process from start to finish, all from a single portal.
“I have to understand what the hiring manager is looking for, so we review the requisite and techy terms therein to make sure I meet their expectations and earn their trust.”
— Sourcing Client on shortlisting Talent
"Our latest TalentSearch integration will aid tech employers in quickly identifying a shortlist of talent by providing posting and sourcing in one workflow, for tech companies and recruiters who need a more efficient way to hire technologists."
— Christian Dwyer, Chief Product Officer for Dice
