✷ Overview

It's no secret that job recruitment weighs heavy on many college students. Many find themselves investing lots of time into applying to various companies, only to be unsure of how to confront the coveted interview round.  

Epic Hire is a recruitment platform committed to making the recruitment process smoother for both the students and employers involved. Their mission is to bring the human back to hiring and is exemplified through their mobile app that allows students to showcase their lives and personalities beyond their resume.

In congruence with this mission, we pitched a partnership with Epic Hire that aims to create a product that ensures peak performance at job interviews by emerging the user in tailored interview prep using AR/VR.

Before laying out our contract with Epic Hire for the semester, we defined the following goals for our team:

• Understand how students currently prepare for interview: what's working? what isn't?
• Learn about common pitfalls in interviewing in order to proactively prevent them
• Research and exercise best practices for designing in AR spaces

Our partnership with Epic Hire will run until early December, during which we will go through several sprints includeing research, data analysis, ideation, testing, and refinement. Check back in January 2025 to read the full case study!
