Summary


Context

Simplifying Complex Processes: Creating an intuitive and easy-to-navigate interface for tools like job search dashboards, while presenting detailed and complex information in a digestible format.

Engagement & User Retention: Designing a user experience that keeps potential recruits engaged, from the quiz-taking process to exploring job matches, while fostering a sense of connection to their potential career path in the Army.

Data-Driven Design: Incorporating feedback and data from users to refine the quiz and dashboard tools, ensuring they continuously meet user needs and Army recruitment goals.

Balancing Army Branding with Usability: Maintaining the integrity of the Army’s brand and mission while ensuring the design is modern, user-friendly, and accessible to a broad audience.
