Randrr; A Lesson in Product Failure
The Challenge
RANDRR aimed to disrupt job search by providing transparent insights but failed due to mismanagement and resistance to UX principles.
My Role
Introduced human-centered design processes to improve the job search experience.
Facilitated user testing and design sprint workshops to synthesize learnings into design approaches.
Led content and UX strategy to simplify job discovery and application processes.
Process
Designed a job insights interface allowing users to toggle between summary and technical details.
Iterated on onboarding flows to streamline account setup.
Validated personas through usability testing and real-world interactions.
Outcomes
Onboarding time reduced from 11 minutes to 2 minutes 15 seconds.
The product failed due to organizational challenges, but we did identify a product-market fit and developed a strong product experience.
