Thomas is a pioneering force in the work technology sector. They provide psychometric assessments and team interaction enablement tools. Thomas’s products empower organisations to make informed decisions about hiring and team development.

I worked as a UX Designer in a Product team whose primary focus was the development of Thomas Profile, Thomas’s candidate testing platform. I planned and delivered the UX and UI deliverables, exercised human-centred design practices by leading user research and testing initiatives, and led innovation workshops.

Role and Contributions

My role as UX Designer ensured that Thomas's products were user-centred, enhancing the effectiveness and usability of their psychometric assessments and platforms. I conducted user research and turned the resulting data into actionable insights. My work resulted in intuitive, accessible, and visually appealing product experiences for company clients and candidates.

Entrepreneurship skills proved to be invaluable. For many projects, I identified key data-driven factors for innovation through market and competitor research and analyses, which I used to define strong business-value propositions. Additionally, I heavily relied on my human-centred design engineering skills to conduct user research using specialists such as software Maze and Userflow, and exerted my rapid prototyping skills in Figma.

During my internship, I conducted four major projects, a major one being designing a job-hunting platform that aligns with Thomas’s strategic objectives. This project would take Thomas 5 years into the future, making them a category design leader in the HR technology industry. I have also completed a project where I completely redesigned Thomas Profile, the company’s candidate testing platform, and redesigned Thomas’s psychometric data representation. These projects opened a new avenue of exploration for the company where my work can be used as a basis for subsequent projects in my team.
