PEER REVIEW · 16 September 2026 · SAMPLE DATA
Three original directions. Twelve seeded experiments.
A hiring workspace looking for a distinctive, useful identity.
Start with your own first impression. Then inspect the intent and pressure-test it. O2 / Signal is the chosen base and now includes the revised clickable study. The other options remain available for comparison.
Original comparison PDF (before O2 update) ↗Haya supports hiring work. The design should help recruiters and hiring teams understand what needs attention, review evidence, and make a considered next move.
Explore layout, type, colour, navigation and interaction hierarchy. These standalone previews contain sample records and simulated actions. Existing workflows and backend contracts are the implementation boundary.
Scan all options. Choose two or three. Find the overdue task, open a candidate and inspect their evidence, then identify the next step. Look at mobile too. Leave specific observations; rejecting every option is useful.
Three different ways to organise everyday work.

A structured daily workspace with a restrained visual signature.
Potential benefit. The familiar hierarchy may make it easier to scan work while giving Haya a recognisable accent and cut detail.
Watch for. The composition may still feel close to a conventional SaaS dashboard. The accent alone may carry too much of the identity.
If the wordmark disappeared, what would make this recognisably Haya?

Updated study. Revised tokens, typography, copy, Paths view and dark theme. The PDF preserves the earlier comparison round.
A compact workspace revised against the Signal build brief, with direct copy and an adjacent candidate preview.
Potential benefit. Selection and the next action sit close together. The composition gives routine hiring work a direct, operational emphasis.
Watch for. Dense rows and familiar dashboard conventions may weaken distinctiveness. Small labels need scrutiny during extended use.
Does the preview save effort, or compete with the queue for attention?

An open desk that groups work around what happens next.
Potential benefit. Grouping may help people distinguish ready work, follow-ups and the day ahead without treating every item as an identical row.
Watch for. The grouping may become harder to scan as volume grows. Some information can feel scattered across columns.
At forty open tasks, would this still reveal the next useful action?
Three layout families with varied palette, type, edges and graphics. Their numeric seeds identify a repeatable experiment; they are not quality scores.
All twelve share Relay's sample interactions. Some trade substantial working space for brand expression. Evaluate whether those choices earn their place. Creative pairings in the seed dock are prompts, not researched provenance.

Ticket composition with a seeded palette, type treatment and strand graphic.
Potential benefit. The stronger visual character tests how much personality Haya can carry across the workspace, candidate dossier and foundations.
Watch for. The opening graphic occupies substantial working space. Candidate paths can fall below the first viewport.
Does the large opening panel earn its space when the actual candidate paths begin below the first screen?

Does the inclined display type add character without making the workspace feel unstable?

Duplex composition with a seeded palette, type treatment and strand graphic.
Potential benefit. The stronger visual character tests how much personality Haya can carry across the workspace, candidate dossier and foundations.
Watch for. Rotated copy adds reading effort; the right navigation and lower action panel need a clear usability rationale.
Does vertical typography help establish identity, or add reading effort beside a horizontal hiring map?

Does the pink poster feel appropriate for a daily hiring tool once the novelty wears off?

Do the rounded shapes and soft palette help the tone, or reduce the distinction between action and decoration?

Does the lavender poster integrate with the selected candidate state, or look like a separate brand layer?

Does the saturated violet dominate information that should matter more?

Does the strong vertical title improve hierarchy when paired with otherwise quiet operational content?

Would this expressive treatment still feel calm enough for repeated, time-sensitive work?

Potential benefit. The stronger visual character tests how much personality Haya can carry across the workspace, candidate dossier and foundations.
Watch for. The hero competes with operational content. Display type, panel offsets and cut edges may distract during repeated use.
How much of the billboard could be reduced while preserving the character of the type and cut detail?
Desktop captures share a 1440 × 1000 viewport. Mobile captures share a 390 × 844 viewport. These show the first screen; scroll the interactive previews to explore the whole page.

R1 / OPTIONAL REFERENCE
Relay introduced the hiring paths and adjacent action panel. Use it to distinguish a useful structural idea from the visual extremes added by the seeds.
Separate visual preference from a usability observation. Cite an option ID, the screen and what happened. Notes stay in this tab: download them before closing.
