Building the Worker Dashboard — Making the Job Hunt Feel Less Overwhelming

Looking for a job can feel stressful — even more when you’re just starting out.

We’ve been there. We are there.
So when we designed the worker dashboard for ITConnect, we asked:

“What would make a job seeker feel supported, not lost?”

🧭 What We Built — and Why
Here’s what you’ll find once you log in as a job seeker:

  • A dynamic feed of job openings — updated in real-time

  • Filters to help you narrow things down: city, remote, freelance

  • A button that says “Apply with 1 click” (if your profile is complete)

  • A clean overview of your applications and their status

  • Notifications if you get an interview or are rejected

  • A section called “Recommended for You” — powered by your skills

It’s built to reduce stress, not add to it.

🧠 What We Wanted to Change
Many platforms make the job hunt feel like a maze.
We wanted to make it feel more like a guided path.
Every decision here is about saving time and building confidence.

From your first login, to your first application —
you should know exactly where you stand and what to do next.

That’s the energy we’re building with.
