We were asked by WIRED to create an article illustration for Indeed, explaining how the company is rolling out smarter premium features to help businesses find the right candidates faster.

The illustration was featured in one of WIRED’s sponsored articles. To showcase some of the thinking behind the final concept, we’ve also included some of our initial sketches below. The idea eventually evolved into the final composition featuring the different cards and candidates.

It was a fun creative process and an enjoyable client to work with overall.
