Course search experience
Empowering recruiters to match international students with their ideal pathway
Background
As a senior designer at Adventus.io, I worked on a project addressing the underutilisation of the recruiters’ platform's Course Search feature. Adventus is a B2B2C SaaS-based marketplace company supporting institutions, recruiters, and international students. The business was scaling up and expanding its services to institutions, so the app’s quality, as part of the services, was vital.

Challenge
User research has uncovered a key insight: our B2B customers, recruiters, while using a variety of tools from different companies, still find Adventus's course search tool indispensable. The Adventus.io platform offers services ranging from course search to application submission. Although we have found that course search is underutilised, there are serious usability and technical issues that need to be addressed.
Solution
In response, we’ve created a unique search landing page that allows recruiters to instantly view course search results upon registering a student. It also offers convenient filtering and sorting of student-relevant information, comparing courses, shortlisting, sharing search results and easy application, a feature that sets us apart from the competition.
Outcome
Following our new implementation, the rate of application lodgement to offer from institutions has increased dramatically, reaching 70.65% for a quarter. This has also encouraged recruiters to add students earlier and sparked a significant increase in using the search function in their daily work routine. Furthermore, the accurate information from course search listings reduced both the customers and the internal team user, the admin workload.
