The Challenge

The core challenge in redesigning Karat’s management system for hiring engineers lay in the intricate balance of form and function. Our goal was to develop an interface that was not only modern and visually engaging but also highly functional and intuitive for users across the spectrum.

The diversity of our client base, ranging from nimble startups to colossal enterprises, demanded a versatile solution that could adapt seamlessly to varying scales and needs.

Understanding User Needs

The journey began with a deep dive into the user experience. 
Through comprehensive research, including user interviews and feedback sessions, we gained invaluable insights into the specific pain points and aspirations of our users.
This research was not merely about collecting data but about understanding the essence of user struggles and their expectations from an engineering hiring platform.

The Solution

Armed with these insights, we developed a user-centric design strategy that emphasized flexibility and modularity. The new Karat platform features a modular design system that allows businesses 
to customize features according to their specific requirements.
This flexibility ensures that whether a company is a startup looking to scale quickly or a large enterprise seeking robust assessment tools, Karat can accommodate their unique engineering hiring processes.
