Deloitte Global Careers Research

Deloitte Global Careers
The Deloitte Global Careers website receives over 55,000 unique visitors each month. Applications can only be made online so to ensure they were attracting the very best caliber of applicants, it was crucial that information was easy to find and that all processes were as simple as possible.
The Project
Each country had direct control of both their careers site and the technology used to deliver it. Although many shared the same platform style and structure several were operating with an independent model. Deloitte wanted a uniformed look to each country’s website ensuring a level of consistency in design and usability whilst providing each with flexibility in their information hierarchy.
We undertook the following Usability Research services:
- Lab based testing – Enabling UK and US users to test the site before launch, revealing what is working and what isn’t.
- Remote online testing - Using Keynote for quant / qual research in France, Spain, Holland, Australia and the USA allowing us to connect with geographically dispersed users over the internet, providing a rich insight into the key usability issues.
- Card sort – An effective method of establishing an intuitive nomenclature strategy to ensure that content is labeled in the language of your users.
- Accessibility compliance – Making sure the site is accessible to everyone.
- Project management – Working with multiple stakeholders to ensure all parties’ commercial requirements are defined & delivered using a seamless and unified methodology.
- User centred design – Through our proven methodology, detailed site maps and high level wireframes are produced to define the information architecture and navigation of the application. Interactive prototypes are tested thoroughly to ensure the end product is fully functional.
Outcome
Within months of the launch the new the award winning global site template had been adopted by over 85% of their main country practices and saw a 30% increase in qualified users year on year.
