How does NWHCP Webpage stand different?

Compared to Indeed, linkedin and other job sites, NWHCP is focused on students, who is still trying to find to an opportunity.

Step 2 : Generative Research

To gain a clear understanding of the problem, we need to develop:
1. User Audience
2. Competitive Research
3. Analytics

Decided to talk to couple of students - what's the issue?

User #1 (Male)

Did Bio major and got his first hospital experience doing volunteering in hospital.

User #2 ( Female)

Did Pre-med and was focused on medical school, so did medical scribe.

" it was hard to find opportunity other than medical scribe, and ambulance technician"

User #3 ( Female)

Did Nursing, but had to ask relatives for an experience to get into Hospital.

User Audience

Primary Audience- Under-represented middle school, high school, undergraduate, or post-graduate student interested in becoming a health professional.

Secondary Audience- Advisor/Admin of health instituions or health-care industries, willing to provide learning opportunities to the skilled candidates.

User Persona - Graduate Student

Lisa is a Graduate student, who has a master's in Health Science, but after almost 6 years of taking her Bachelor's and master's degrees.

User Persona - High School Student

Amy is a High School student, who is about to go to College. She is really ambitious and dreams of being a doctor one day. She is about to go into a biology major. After starting college, she aims to get medical experience by being a medical scriber.

Limitation - User Audience

Stakeholders Wanted to focus on the primary audience before targeting secondary audience.

Generative Research

To conduct Generative Research, we conducted a competitor analysis and talked to two college students. We wanted to understand how NWHCP could work differently from the rest of the competition.

Step 3: Initial Wireframe

Initial design Version 1

To visualize the generative research, there was an initial wireframe.
The user can search for their occupation and location, and the opportunity hunt starts.

An initial version included a comprehensive search function that enabled users to filter and uncover additional information.

The Application

The applicant has the ability to provide their email and convey their message to reach the recruitment group. This was the subsequent point of breakdown.

User Interview

We decided to do a simple user interview with
1. 2 students - High school Experience
2. 3 College students - College Experience
3. 3 Mothers - Mother's POV

User Interview Results

Here are the insights gathered from user interviews.

The Problem

In the course of our discussion, we identified several zones of potential advancement

1 - Map vs List View

NWHCP product's major ISP is the "MAP VIEW".
The conflict arose when there was a difference in the results displayed:
1. Stakeholder: Map
2. Team recommendation: List

Why is List View better than Map View

Why is List View better than Map View

Job Posting View ensures affordability, availability, and comprehensive data. The primary value of maps lies in their capacity to portray distance, scale, and exact location. Furthermore, utilizing Open Street Map and Google Maps carries associated costs.

2 - How to apply

A user is only allowed to go to employer website, and
CANNOT APPLY THROUGH NWHCP

Why cannot student apply through NWHCP

A significant issue in our early blueprint was the oversight that users anticipate viewing and applying via the identical interface.

Job Results

The Team developed a medium-fidelity mockup of the job results interface, featuring both a map and a list view in a split screen format. The stakeholder expressed more satisfaction with this design, but remained unconvinced as to why we aren't prioritizing a map-centric approach.

Job Results Details

The job listing interface needs a UI enhancement to clearly display the title, pay scale, and other essential details for users of all age groups.

Final Version 3

Final Version 3

Final Version 3

we did a final version fixing the major problem - How to apply

Job Result Page

The team decided to add a map and more descriptions to give clear instructions to the user. The "Connect" button and "How to apply".

Final Un-moderated Testing

We conducted a final unmoderated test and received impressive results with positive feedback.

Unmoderated Testing

We conducted final testing on version 3 and encountered no issues.
Key feedback revealed that users rarely scrolled down the page, opting to use the search feature immediately.

Conclusion

We utilized user interviews and unmoderated testing to conduct research for the web app redesign. However, there are still areas we aim to explore and understand further.
