Conclusion

TEGNA was looking at a new way to expedite the applying process. During the time they were wanting the career page there was an influx in people applying to be in the journalism field. The process before wasn’t inefficient per se, it was just better to apply somewhere else like Linkedin. The other problem was hiring for designers, marketing, news, and tech work was spread across 3 different websites. The Career page was intended to combine all the websites as well as address click through problems with the site.

After the design of the Ad Sales Marketing web page I was tasked with creating a new process for the career page to increase people’s experience on reading job descriptions and then getting hired. This project sadly didn’t get to be completed as shareholders didn’t want to invest in a redesign of the main page, and the developer that was working on it left. This left the career page in a quarter baked state.

For the design of the page I wanted to blend all of our other tabs to make an efficient and concise page that would allow new hires to understand what we do, our benefits, and our positions that we offer. This would allow for less click throughs and back tracking creating a more streamlined approach for new hires. It was also designed out for two spots to have a button to open all jobs posted.

The landing page of the careers page takes the user through different categories of positions TEGNA offers then details on the company such as reach, benefits, and values. The job board itself would be a simple and clean page that utilized TEGNA's good company brand and previous web design with filters to narrow the job search. The application page would be a slightly recolored page from the greenhouse.

Unfortunately only part of the website was realized. During reorganization, merging announcements, and dev people either being laid off or leaving the full design was never realized. Shareholders didn’t want to adjust the website after a merger with Nexstar was announced as the website would be taken down shortly after the merger possibly goes through.
