Transformify

Transformify is a global HR and workforce management platform that provides tools for hiring, employee management, and freelancer/vendor operations. The platform brings together an ATS, HRMS, VMS, and FMS in one place, helping businesses manage recruitment, payroll, and compliance efficiently.

The Problems
The Problems

The platform had grown in complexity over time and lacked a consistent design language. New features were needed to support evolving user needs, while the brand itself needed stronger identity across digital and physical assets.

The platform’s UI/UX was inconsistent, with different fonts, sizes, colors, and button styles used across screens.

Workflows in ATS and HRMS were clunky, leading to poor user experience for recruiters and HR managers.

There was no design system, which slowed down both design and development and led to inconsistencies.

AI features were planned but lacked a design approach to integrate them smoothly.

Branding was weak and fragmented across the platform, marketing materials, and merchandise, reducing overall brand presence.

Discovery & Research
Discovery & Research

I worked closely with the Product Manager to audit the platform, collect feedback from internal teams, and review existing documentation. To benchmark best practices, I also analyzed competing platforms like Recruitee and Manatal, which helped highlight design gaps and opportunities for improvement.

Key Findings

Fonts, colors, and components were applied inconsistently across the platform, creating a disjointed experience.

Recruiters struggled with ATS workflows that were not streamlined compared to competitors.

HR managers lacked intuitive tools in HRMS, making processes harder to complete.

Competitor platforms offered cleaner, more consistent designs with AI features already integrated.

The absence of a design system meant designs had to be recreated from scratch, wasting time.

Metrics & Support Data

Design and development handoff was slowed by an estimated 40% due to missing standards.

Usability reviews revealed 6–8 friction points in ATS workflows.

Competitor research showed 2 major rivals (Recruitee, Manatal) with stronger AI integrations.

Inconsistencies in fonts, colors, and components led to 25% more rework in design and dev cycles.

By comparing Transformify to Recruitee and Manatal, I saw how inconsistent design and lack of clear UI standards were holding the platform back. This research reinforced the need to create a unified design style guide and build a scalable system that would improve usability and speed up development.
