From Notion clutter to a digital office — GB HR-agency
I helped GB turn a cluttered Notion workspace into a structured, team-ready operating system — with one source of truth for job openings, candidates, clients, and internal knowledge.
Notion was there. The system wasn't.
GB already used Notion — but the workspace had grown in every direction. Pages multiplied, everyone built their own setups, and information lived in too many places. Leadership couldn't get a reliable snapshot of what was happening.
Navigation was unclear, team members tracked candidates in different places, handoffs were messy, and reporting took more effort than it should. The workspace needed structure — not just cleanup.
Clutter over structure
Navigation was unclear, the workspace felt noisy, and nobody knew where things should live
Disconnected workflows
Team members created pages from scratch and tracked candidates in different places
Limited visibility
Leadership couldn't quickly understand pipeline status or spot bottlenecks
Unreliable reporting
Fragmented processes made management analytics inconsistent and hard to maintain
A digital office the team can actually operate from
The goal wasn't just to "make it pretty". I designed a workspace architecture that supports real day-to-day work: one clear entry point, connected databases, defined permissions, and personal team dashboards.
Company Home
- Intuitive navigation by team area
- Quick access to key databases
- Reporting views for leadership
Team Areas & Access
- Clear ownership by function
- Shared rules for consistency
- Defined permissions
Unified Databases
- Companies & Clients
- Job openings
- Candidates
- Knowledge Base
Personal Dashboards
- Focused view for each team member
- Everything surfaced where needed
- No more hunting across pages
Visual identity applied: I also applied GB's brand identity — covers, icons, branded elements — so the workspace feels like a real internal product, not a pile of pages.
From audit to ongoing support
Workspace audit
Mapped what existed, what created friction, what was duplicated, and what the team truly needed.
Requirements sessions
Ran a series of calls to capture workflows, expectations, and reporting needs — and translated that into a clear spec.
Architecture design
Designed the structure: databases, relationships, navigation, permissions, and user flows.
Build & rollout
Implemented the workspace in Notion, set up team-facing dashboards, and shaped the experience end-to-end.
Training & handover
Trained the team and recorded detailed video guides so everyone could adopt the system with confidence.
Ongoing support: After launch, GB stayed on support. For over a year now, I've been maintaining the workspace and updating it as their processes evolve — so the system stays current instead of slowly drifting back into chaos.
What changed after implementation
A shared operating model
Job openings, candidates, and companies now live in one connected system — with consistent rules for everyone.
Clearer execution
Leadership can see what's happening, what's blocked, and what needs attention — without asking around.
Less reinvention
No more "build a page from scratch" for every situation. The system supports the workflow out of the box.
Trustworthy analytics
With processes aligned, reporting becomes reliable — and leadership decisions become faster.
Maria, thank you so much for the incredible work on automating our Notion! ✨ Thanks to your efforts, our workflow has become so much more productive, organized, and efficient. You literally turned our chaotic processes into a system that runs perfectly. 🤯
Now everyone knows exactly where to find the information they need and what the priorities are. We've cut out so many unnecessary tasks, and it's genuinely saving us time and energy.
Thank you for making our work simpler, faster, and more productive. You're truly a master at what you do! 🚀👏
