Goals for the Portal

Assumptions

The conventional goals of Adoption, Engagement, Retention & Revenue don’t fit the job portal.
The Job Portal is only responsible for interfacing with candidates & capturing application and not for the rest of the hiring process.
I’ll focus largely on the Candidate end as there’s no information available about the portal’s integration with the Talent Acquisition platform.
Goals
⁠

Non-goals

Increasing talent traffic
Monetizing the product
Improving other parts of the talent acquisition process. Eg.
Time to Fill
Time to Hire

Rationale behind the Goals

Company Mission

Eightfold's mission is to help everybody find & build their right careers. Eightfold's Job portal should reflect its alignment with this mission and enable every candidate to make an informed decision about their association with Eightfold.

Based on a survey from 14 of my acquaintances & colleagues, growth and education opportunity is the most popular factor while applying or accepting a new job. It’s closely followed by pay, and work-life balance.
EDIT: This table was added at 2:53AM on Nov 9, 2021. I’d missed adding it from my rough doc. Apologies for the post-submission edit.
