LikeMyCV is an online platform that enables job seekers and freelancers to build a public profile showcasing their experience, skills, and verified testimonials from past clients and employers. The platform’s purpose is to provide social proof and credibility beyond a traditional static résumé.
Candidates struggle to differentiate themselves in competitive job markets. A resume alone isn’t enough to demonstrate credibility, and requesting references repeatedly is time-consuming. There was a need for a tool that allowed users to consolidate professional reviews, demonstrate real client satisfaction, and share a single, authoritative link with prospects and employers.
Freelancers seeking recurring project work
Professionals applying for full-time roles
Students and juniors needing portfolio-building validation
Individuals pivoting careers and requiring social proof
Primary goals:
Reduce friction when building a CV and collecting reviews
Increase credibility and trust through verified testimonials
Make professional identity easy to share online
Success metrics included:
Conversion from visitor → sign-up
Number of review requests sent per user
Profile views and link shares
I led end-to-end product design and development, including UX research, wireframes, visual design, copywriting, frontend development, and usability testing.
I analyzed freelance and hiring platforms, resume builders, and referral systems to understand user expectations and credibility signals. Interviews with early target users revealed three recurring needs: visibility, validation, and speed.
I developed a UX strategy centered around:
Social proof as a competitive advantage
Frictionless onboarding
A shareable professional identity
The platform was structured into three core flows:
Profile creation
Review requests
Profile sharing and visibility settings
I designed simplified task flows focused on reducing cognitive load during onboarding and making the request-for-review step intuitive and fast.
The interface prioritizes clarity, professionalism, and quick scanning. The homepage emphasizes the value proposition and leads users to a single primary CTA: “Create Your Profile.”
The final platform delivers:
A customizable professional profile page
Verified reviews integrated directly into the CV
A short branded URL for easy sharing
A guided onboarding sequence to reduce drop-off
Early sign-ups, profile creations
Users completed onboarding in under 5 minutes
80% of testers reported the platform helped them “showcase value beyond a résumé”
All testers indicated that a public profile link was “useful” or “very useful” during job search
The concept of “visibility + validation” is powerful, but users require transparency around privacy
Adding demo profiles and proof points is critical to conversion
Next product iterations will focus on analytics (profile views, engagement) and improved trust signals
