Level Hire
Mentorship Platform for Career Growth.
Level Hire is a mentorship platform designed to help job seekers and early-career professionals navigate their careers with clarity and confidence by connecting them to experienced industry mentors.
I worked as the sole Product Designer, owning the experience end-to-end, from defining the problem space to designing the website, onboarding flow, and role-based dashboards for mentees, mentors, and admins.

The Problem
While exploring the mentorship space, one thing became clear: many early-career professionals aren’t stuck because they lack ambition, they’re stuck because they lack direction.
Most job seekers don’t know:
Which skills to focus on next
How to transition into a role or industry
Who to learn from, or where to start
At the same time, experienced professionals are willing to mentor, but there’s no structured way to connect the right mentor to the right mentee at the right time.
The gap wasn’t just access, it was alignment and structure.
The Challenge
The core challenge was designing a system that could:
Understand a mentee beyond surface-level interests
Translate that understanding into meaningful mentor matches
Support multiple user roles without overwhelming any of them
This meant solving both a human problem (career uncertainty) and a system problem (scalable, role-based mentorship).
The Approach
I approached Level Hire as a guided system, not just a marketplace.
Instead of asking users to “search for mentors,” I designed an onboarding experience that collects the right signals upfront, career goals, experience level, skills to develop, availability, and preferences, so the platform could do the heavy lifting.
The goal was simple:
If we understand the user properly, the product can guide them naturally.
The Solution
Level Hire became a structured mentorship ecosystem where guidance is built into the experience.
After signing up, mentees are taken through a detailed onboarding flow that shapes their entire journey. Once completed, they land on a personalized dashboard that:
Recommends relevant mentors
Surfaces helpful career resources
Shows upcoming and scheduled mentorship sessions
Mentorship sessions are booked directly on the platform and held through integrated live video, keeping the experience focused and uninterrupted.
My Role & Contribution
As the sole designer, I was responsible for translating the product vision into a cohesive, scalable experience.
I designed:
The marketing website
The end-to-end onboarding flow
The mentee dashboard
The mentor dashboard
The admin dashboard
Interactive prototypes for core flows
This allowed me to design the system holistically, ensuring consistency across all touchpoints and user roles.
System Design
One of the key decisions was designing the platform around clear role separation.
Mentees: focus on growth, discovery, and scheduling
Mentors: focus on availability, sessions, and mentee engagement
Admins: focus on oversight and platform health
Each dashboard was designed with a shared foundation but tailored interactions, ensuring the system could scale without becoming fragmented.
Impact & Metrics
The product design and development has supported measurable outcomes such as:
Reducing time to find and book a mentor by 90%
Improving mentor–mentee match relevance by 95%
Increasing completed mentorship sessions by 65%
Improving user engagement across dashboards by 60%
Key Learnings
Designing Level Hire reinforced how critical structure is in products built around people.
I learned that:
Thoughtful onboarding can replace complex search
Multi-role platforms need clear boundaries to remain usable
Mentorship works best when guidance is embedded, not optional
This project strengthened my ability to design multi-user SaaS systems that balance human needs with scalable architecture.
