Sainsbury's publicly acknowledged a drive to recruit a further 22,000 employees (as published here), and partnered with Squiz to streamline recruitment with digital innovation. The Sainsbury's jobs portal was home to thousands of jobs at any given time, and relied on plenty of patience from its users in sorting through listings via location and job type tabs. As an out of the box CMS solution Sainsbury's had managed up until this point, but with such rapid growth brought the appetite for employee acquisition at pace, and the current portal wasn't considered a powerful enough tool to bring the level of employees to the table that they required. Sainsbury's partnered with Squiz to utilise our Funnelback product and digital experties. My role in this was to analyse the existing portal, and provide a streamlined solution that would empower prospective employees when searching for roles within the company.

To discover and understand pain points in the current job search process, I interviewed employees that began their journey using the site, and users currently going through the application process. Off the back of these interviews I collaborated with our technical team to synthesise the findings I had gathered. We have developed some guiding principles based on our insights: Intuivity To further empower users in their journey, we need to ensure they can use 'current location' functionality. Flexibility To enable users to apply flexibly, we need to make sure the experience is as refined as can be across all devices. Simplification To welcome all user types, we must ensure the interface is as simple to use as possible. No need for frills. Brand Awareness We must align the jobs site with the newer Sainsbury's site so that users don't feel redirected.
