Product Exploration: Reimagining Talent Acquisition
The Vision
As someone passionate about building products, I created Hologram to explore how AI could transform recruiting. The core question: What if we could better understand a candidate's potential beyond their resume?
The Innovation
Hologram represents my vision for human-centered AI in recruiting. By combining video intelligence, natural language processing, and behavioral analysis, I designed a platform that sees candidates as complete individuals, not just keywords on a resume.
Exploring Human Potential
This product exploration focused on understanding human communication through AI. I prototyped features that analyze not just what candidates say, but how they say it—their passion, problem-solving approach, and cultural fit. The interfaces were designed to create comfortable, authentic experiences that bring out the best in candidates while giving recruiters better insights.
Holistic Candidate Profiles
I reimagined the candidate profile to tell a complete story. Beyond traditional resume data, this interface surfaces personality insights, communication style, and cultural alignment—all derived from AI analysis of interview interactions.
The design prioritizes actionable insights: skill assessments are visual and comparative, experience is contextualized with actual examples from interviews, and the AI's confidence levels are transparently displayed. This helps recruiters make informed decisions quickly while maintaining the human element in hiring.
Intelligent Interview Analysis
The interview recording interface showcases real-time AI analysis in action. I designed a system that transcribes, analyzes sentiment, identifies key moments, and generates insights—all while the interview is happening.
The split-view design allows recruiters to see the candidate while reviewing AI-generated insights. Color-coded sentiment analysis, automatic highlight detection, and smart summaries transform hours of review into minutes of focused evaluation. This interface makes every interview a learning opportunity for both recruiters and candidates.
Asynchronous Video Interviews
I designed the video submission interface to reduce anxiety and bring out authentic responses. Candidates can record at their convenience, re-record if needed, and present their best selves without the pressure of live interviews.
The interface guides candidates through the process with clear instructions, progress indicators, and practice questions. Behind the scenes, AI analyzes body language, speech patterns, and content quality to provide recruiters with insights that go beyond what's visible on the surface. This democratizes the interview process, giving every candidate an equal opportunity to shine.
Two-Way Async Conversations
This interface enables asynchronous two-way video conversations between recruiters and candidates. I designed a system that feels like a natural dialogue despite being time-shifted, maintaining engagement across different schedules and time zones.
The threaded conversation view shows the flow of questions and responses, with AI-generated summaries and insights for each exchange. This approach respects everyone's time while creating deeper connections than traditional phone screens. It's particularly powerful for global hiring, enabling thoughtful exchanges without scheduling conflicts.
Holly: The AI Interview Copilot
Holly represents my vision for AI-assisted interviewing. I designed an AI copilot that acts as a skilled interviewing partner—suggesting follow-up questions, noting important moments, and ensuring no critical topics are missed.
The interface seamlessly integrates Holly's suggestions without disrupting the conversation flow. Real-time prompts help interviewers dig deeper into interesting responses, while the AI tracks coverage of required competencies. This transforms every recruiter into an expert interviewer, ensuring consistent, thorough evaluations across all candidates.
Communicating the Vision
The Hologram landing page distills complex AI technology into a clear value proposition. I crafted messaging that speaks to both HR professionals seeking efficiency and candidates wanting a fair, comfortable interview experience.
Every element was designed to build trust: transparent explanations of how the AI works, testimonials from both recruiters and candidates, and interactive demos that let visitors experience the platform firsthand. The design balances professionalism with approachability, reflecting Hologram's mission to humanize the hiring process through technology.
