Career GO repeatedly places job information where decisions are made: applications have job cards and chat has a role strip at the top. Purple highlights current sections, selection and the user’s own messages. Readers can continue along a job rather than remembering a conversation solely by an avatar.

## Key takeaways

- Stage tabs narrow the range while cards retain company, location and conditions.
- A chat job summary visibly links the contact with a specific application.
- Pale profile pages and overlays share purple action rules; real content still needs individual consistency checks.

## Job identity remains below state tabs

My applications begins with counts, then Offers, Under Review, Chat Negotiations and Interview in a row. Short labels do not reduce cards to states alone: jobs, companies, locations and salary ranges remain.

Heavier job names, purple salaries and small work/experience tags establish order: identify the application, then its conditions. Red Reject and green Accept on offer cards retain the decision object above, making it easy to check again.

JVDS considers repeated job identity useful, since several applications may share a state but differ in company and role. [Acceptance/rejection confirmation](https://www.jvds.cn/en/share/ui-design/destructive-action-confirmation-undo-ux) should repeat the summary for quick-action review. The acceptance rate is a sample, not actual platform or individual performance.

## Chat adds a job cue beneath the person

Chat divides a contact list and conversation. Avatars, names and recent messages organize the left, with pale purple selection. The right names the person, then a strip with Product Designer, Design Studio Pro and Response sent. Person and job have separate positions, clarifying the relationship beyond an avatar.

Gray and purple bubbles distinguish messages; attachment thumbnails sit beside content, with input and send below. Purple continues from navigation into the user’s messages, identifying location and the user’s side.

When one contact handles several roles, the job strip can switch or return to an application. Static images do not establish attachment ownership or switching rules, but placement provides a basis. Recruitment chat benefits from retaining the job instead of using only a generic messenger template.

## Purple makes profile editing recognizable

A pale-purple banner heads the profile, with avatar, name and industry on the left and two public resume cards below. A white edit overlay vertically lists name, age, gender and industry. Primary purple and pale-purple Skip retain action hierarchy across different tasks.

Age and Gender explicitly say optional, a useful detail identifying fields that are not required now. [Explaining visibility](https://www.jvds.cn/en/share/ui-design/app-privacy-design) before saving can further distinguish filling information from publishing it.

Person, age and resume content differ across samples, and matching percentages lack their calculation basis. Reconcile one person’s complete profile first, then explain matching scope. Role switching should update titles and actions, not merely the sidebar selection.

## Frequently asked questions

### Why does recruitment chat need a job summary?

One contact can concern several applications or roles. Company and job above messages help identify attachments and replies; switching rules still need design.

### Can candidates and employers share navigation?

They may share a visual framework, but names and actions must match current identity. Applying, publishing and handling candidates concern different objects; titles should clarify a role change.

## Design review checklist

- Identify company, role and next action from any state card.
- Recheck role and company in chat.
- Reconcile avatar, name, age and resume using one profile.

## Organizing recruitment applications and communication?

Platforms combining jobs, candidates and conversations can first relate these objects, then arrange states and pages. Bring existing flows to discuss UI/UX, website design and development with JVDS.
