UX Design for a Job Exchange Platform

A digital platform designed to bring movement into the job market.

For the startup JobSwop.io, I developed a UX concept that enables employees to exchange positions easily and explore new professional opportunities.

The platform makes previously invisible career mobility visible and connects employees and companies in a new way.

Concept

JobSwop.io is a digital startup developing a platform for job exchange, inspired by the concept of home-exchange platforms.

The idea: many people are generally satisfied with their profession but would consider a change if working hours, responsibilities or conditions were a better fit. The platform makes this previously invisible part of the job market visible and enables employees and employers to explore new opportunities.

As UX designer, I was responsible for the overall design concept: from early wireframes and prototypes to supporting the implementation with the development team.
