In short

Seamfox gives companies a pipeline and candidates a profile worth filling in. Applications move across a kanban board with comments and status history; candidates carry languages, nationalities, education and certifications; and quizzes and crosswords sit alongside a feed, a blog and live chat to keep people engaged between applications.

The brief

A pipeline for companies, a reason to return for candidates.

Job boards are visited once. The brief was a platform candidates come back to and recruiters can actually run a process in.

What had to be true

  • Candidates with depth

    Education, certifications, languages, nationalities, status history and profile views.
  • A real pipeline

    Applications on a kanban board with comments and status history per candidate.
  • Engagement between jobs

    Quizzes, crosswords, a feed and a blog.
  • Talk directly

    Chat between companies and candidates, with notifications.

What we did

We built the board first and the games around it.

The hiring process is the product; everything else brings people back to it.
01

Kanban hiring

Applications as cards with comments and a status history, moved by recruiters.

A process, not an inbox.

02

Rich candidate records

Education, certification, language and nationality modules so filtering means something.

Searchable talent.

03

Engagement layer

Quiz, crossword, feed, blog and chat modules, with queues for the heavy work.

Reasons to come back.

What changed

Recruiting as a process people can see.

What the platform makes visible.

Kanban

Assessed

quizzes and puzzles inside the platform

Direct

chat between company and candidate
