Overview

User Workspace is the name of Lever’s new homepage project that launched in February 2024. I led design for this project to create a space for recruiters, hiring managers, and supporting team members to provide an overview of all outstanding recruitment tasks that need to be accomplished in Lever.

Context

Since its inception as a recruitment product (YC 2012), Lever had always lacked a dedicated space for users to manage their tasks. When logging in, users were presented with a large, unpersonalized table of candidates that failed to address what actions needed to be accomplished, leaving users overwhelmed and often unaware of the workload they had to keep track of across Lever.

Problem

The need for a dedicated space in Lever for hiring teams to manage their tasks was a repeated customer ask that had consistently been undressed.

What is the User Workspace?

User Workspace serves as Lever’s new landing page, or home. The homepage consists of widgets that correspond to different areas in Lever and the tasks that need to be accomplished within them.
