Context
emagine is a European IT consultancy connecting specialist talent with enterprise organisations. Its consultant portal had grown over time into a feature-heavy system that was difficult to navigate and increasingly costly to support.
The brief was to rebuild the recruitment platform connecting consultants, agencies and opportunities across multiple business entities.
The product brought together a large consultant database, onboarding, job applications, LinkedIn import, CV parsing, profile management and CV generation within one shared system.
The ambition was to create a more coherent product foundation: flexible enough to support different operational needs, while making consultant data easier to structure, reuse and manage.
Challenge
The central challenge was turning a fragmented, data-heavy consultant database into a clear and usable product experience.
The system needed to align with LinkedIn data, accommodate different internal processes across business entities and support multiple languages - without adding complexity for consultants or agency users. The key question was how to standardise consultant data while preserving the flexibility required by different recruitment workflows.
Design challenges:
- simplifying a feature-rich, data-heavy ecosystem
- designing a mobile-first experience for consultants
- creating clearer, more modern interface patterns
- supporting both light and dark modes
- maintaining consistency across multiple languages and entities
My role + impact
I worked across UX architecture, product flows, interface design and prototyping for both consultant- and agency-facing experiences.
My contribution focused on translating operational complexity into a clearer product structure. I helped shape a profile-first model in which LinkedIn import, CV parsing, onboarding, applications and CV generation all worked from one reusable consultant data foundation.
Key areas:
- consultant data structure
- profile architecture
- LinkedIn import
- CV parsing and generation
- job application flows
- agency-facing workflows
- multilingual content handling
- mobile-first interface design
Outcome
The redesigned platform connected consultant data, profiles, applications and CV generation into one more coherent experience.
It created a stronger foundation for agencies while reducing repeated data entry for consultants. A shared data model made it easier to reuse professional information across workflows, generate CVs in multiple languages and support different operational needs across the business.
Main product value:
- structured consultant data
- reusable professional profiles
- stronger alignment with LinkedIn data
- clearer agency workflows
- multilingual CV generation
- faster applications using existing profile data
- a scalable foundation for multiple business entities
