The site was optimized for smartphones, ensuring seamless responsiveness, while custom typography and animations enhanced brand storytelling in a lightweight, engaging interface.
- Research
- This project was based on qualitative research to identify challenges in Japan’s medical and welfare industry and enhance recruitment and brand recognition through a redesigned brand identity.
Research Objective:
To analyze the declining interest in employment within the industry and assess how brand recognition impacts recruitment, ultimately developing an effective design strategy.
Research Methods & Data Collection:
We conducted interviews with employees and job seekers and further analyzed web analytics and digital advertising performance to evaluate the effectiveness of the brand strategy.
Participants:
The research involved employees, job seekers, affiliated company staff, and corporate executives.
Results & Insights:
Findings revealed that brand perception and job seeker engagement significantly influence recruitment success rates. The introduction of a new visual identity, digital platform, and advertising strategy resulted in a 160% increase in mid-career hires and a 340% increase in new graduate hires.
Impact:
This research-driven design approach successfully addressed corporate recruitment challenges and set a new industry benchmark for brand building. It serves as a demonstration of design’s impact on both business and society. - Inspiration
- Our inspiration for the design stemmed from Dotline’s dynamic flexibility and diversity, reflected in its multifaceted business expansion across from medical, education, and accounting. To represent this versatility, we structured the site into three distinct sections with a unique design format,a custom secondary font alongside the corporate typeface, and illustrations. This approach reinforces Dotline’s adaptability, integrating technical precision with a unified yet flexible brand identity.
