Giving Time Back to Healthcare Recruiters & Clinicians

The Problem

Our recruiters spend hours each week answering common clinician questions about our services within ciro, our platform where clinicians search for and secure traveling assignments. This time adds up, hindering recruiters from taking on more and limiting clinicians' access to helpful information without recruiter availability.

Our Solution

Intuitive Access: Prioritized easy access with a prominently placed tray button that opens a drawer, allowing users to engage with the chat without disrupting their current experience.

Streamlined Experience: Designed an overly simplified interface tailored for non-tech-savvy users, ensuring accessibility and ease of use.

User-Friendly Interface: Implemented an easy-to-use chat interface with a simplified UI, facilitating a smooth transition into the new space.

Future-Proof Design: Laid the groundwork for future iterations and functionality updates, ensuring scalability and ongoing user engagement.

Outcomes

A key metric was reducing recruiter back-and-forth. In just one month, our initial iteration saved recruiters 80 hours, enabling them to focus on more pressing tasks and making information more accessible to clinicians.

Impact

Clinicians noted that the simplified design not only improved efficiency but increased user confidence in adopting AI solutions. 

My Key Learnings

AI is an exciting challenge and offers a wealth of new UX possibilities.

Sometimes it’s better to over simplify and let your users gain familiarity before offering more functionality.

AI should be leaned on to enhance the user experience, not over-shadow it.
