Scoping the hire-to-onboard-to-self-service journey around one recruitment and HR product.
Concept · Recruitment & HR
Hyre
A concept recruitment and HR app that carries a person from applied to onboarded to everyday employee — a candidate pipeline with interview scheduling, digital onboarding, and self-service for leave, payslips and shifts. We shaped the product and designed it for iOS and Android.

SectorRecruitment & HR
An illustrative concept — a sample case study showing how we'd approach Recruitment & HR, not a delivered client project.
The context
Hiring lives in one tool. HR lives in another.
A candidate is tracked in a spreadsheet, interviewed over email, onboarded on paper — then, the moment they’re hired, they fall into a different system for leave, payslips and shifts. Every handover is a chance to drop a person, a signature or a first-day task.
Hyre imagines one product for the whole arc: the same person moves from a candidate card in the pipeline to an employee with self-service in their pocket, without ever being re-keyed from one tool into the next.
The challenge
Two very different users, one app.
A recruiter lives in the pipeline — stages, interviews, offers — and needs to move fast across many candidates. An employee opens the app a few times a month to book leave or check a payslip, and needs it to be obvious the first time. The same product has to serve both without feeling like two apps bolted together.
So the concept splits cleanly by role: a focused pipeline and scheduling surface for recruiters, and a calm, glanceable self-service home for employees — sharing one design language, one sign-in, one source of truth.
Skills
What we brought to it.
UX / UI design
Flows, wireframes and a calm interface that serves both recruiters and everyday employees.
Prototyping
Interactive prototypes to pressure-test the pipeline, scheduling and onboarding flows.
iOS & Android app
One native-quality product designed for both platforms.
HR workflow design
Modelling leave, payslips and shifts so the everyday HR admin runs itself.
Design system
A shared violet colour, type and component system across every screen.
What we built
Six things, one HR app.
Candidate pipeline
A stage-based board — applied, screening, interview, offer, hired — so recruiters see where every candidate stands at a glance.
Interview scheduling
Propose slots, confirm times and send reminders in one place, without the back-and-forth of email tag.
Digital onboarding
Paperwork, checklists and a welcome journey that turn a signed offer into a productive first day.
Leave self-service
Employees request time off, watch it move through approval, and see their remaining balance — no forms, no chasing.
Payslips on hand
Every payslip in the employee’s pocket, downloadable and searchable, instead of an inbox attachment they lost.
Shifts & rosters
Published rosters, shift swaps and confirmed availability, keeping the deployed workforce and the office in sync.
Under the hood
One record, hire to shift.
The screens are simple; the model behind them is not. In the concept, a single person record carries from candidate to employee — so an interview, an offer, an onboarding task, a leave request and a payslip all hang off the same identity, with the right people seeing the right slice.
One person record
Candidate becomes employee on the same identity — no re-keying between hiring and HR.
Role-based access
Recruiters see the pipeline; employees see only their own leave, payslips and shifts.
Scheduling & reminders
Interview slots and shift changes push notifications so nothing waits in an inbox.
E-signing onboarding
Offers and first-day paperwork signed in-app and filed against the record.
Privacy by design
Consent, access controls and retention rules for sensitive candidate and staff data.
Native iOS & Android
One product, both platforms, one design system.

“From a candidate card to a payslip in their pocket — one app for the whole employee journey.”
Design system
One violet, a lot of clarity.
A single confident violet marks every action — schedule, sign, request, approve — against clean white lists, so a busy pipeline and a personal HR home both read as one clear next step at a time.

A concept where hiring and everyday HR stop being two systems — a candidate becomes an employee on the same record, from the first application to this week’s shift.
FAQ
About the concept.
What is Hyre?
Hyre is a concept recruitment and HR app — a candidate pipeline with interview scheduling, digital onboarding, and employee self-service for leave, payslips and shifts. It is an illustrative sample designed by Namtech to show how we would approach a Recruitment & HR product for iOS and Android, not a delivered client project.
What did Namtech build for Hyre?
As a concept, Namtech shaped the product and designed it end to end: the stage-based candidate pipeline, interview scheduling, digital onboarding, and employee self-service for leave, payslips and shifts — unified by a single design system across iOS and Android.
Can a recruitment and HR app cover both hiring and everyday HR?
Yes — that is the idea Hyre illustrates. One product carries a candidate from applied through interview, offer and onboarding, then keeps serving them as an employee through leave, payslips and shifts, so hiring and everyday HR live in the same place.
