Replacing the commission spreadsheet
In collaboration with VanHack, I led the design and research for an internal commission management app spanning five different roles, creating an integrated, automated source of truth that reduced manual work.
By mid-2022, VanHack was scaling fast, and hiring volume kept climbing right along with it. HR was on the hook for paying commissions across every role, but the old spreadsheet couldn't keep up.
Tracking teams was a mess, info was scattered across files with inconsistent access, and manual processes, plus double-checking every number, ate up way too much time.
So we decided to build our own commission app, one that could handle the nuances specific to each team. Now, each person can see what they've earned, what's still pending, and which hire it's tied to.
We also added an invoice page for HR and a step in the hiring flow that captures contract terms right at the source
