During this stage I conducted the research. I looked at the competitive landscape and interviewed people. The primary users of Candipool are immigrants. Candipool helps people who move to other countries and don’t have the necessary network to acquire jobs. Candipool will enable the user’s skills to be tested online.1.1 Understanding the Users

How is the user experience? What are their pain points?

Methods: user interviews

User interviews helped us to understand how users search for new jobs or for potential employees. Users usually know where they would like to work, and they want employers to see that they are capable of doing a good job (sometimes without meeting them). On the other hand, employers are worried about choosing the wrong person for the job and living with the consequences.

Pain points:

Candidates are really keen to work hard and earn money. The pain point is to prove they have the desired skills. Candidates get rejected over and over again, and the process destroys their self-esteem. Recruiters, on the other hand, want to get the right person and find the process a waste of their time.
