Thoughtworks Recruitment Redesign

CHALLENGE

Redesign the recruitment process at Thoughtworks Brazil to improve efficiency, candidate experience, and recruiter satisfaction.

SOLUTION

Applied a Service Design approach, incorporating research, prototyping, and experimentation to optimize recruitment workflows and enhance collaboration with recruiters.

MY ROLE

Led the redesign efforts by conducting research and facilitating design sprints to address pain points in the recruitment process.

APPROACH

Used a collaborative, iterative process to streamline various phases of recruitment (CV screening, phone interviews, decision-making) through prototyping and testing.

RESULTS

Significant reduction in process times and an improvement in team happiness and candidate experience.

This was a Thoughtworks internal initiative aiming to support a redesign of the recruitment processes in Brazil, which were going through difficulties regarding its length, quantitative and qualitative results. A Service Design approach was used, including research, prototyping and experimentation through close collaboration with recruiters.

There was a measurable improvement in process lengths in the different phases (CV screening, phone screening, interviewing and hiring decision processes) and a noticeable improvement regarding recruiting team happiness and candidate experience.
