Product Overview

Client’s goals

The app is designed to bridge the gap in unemployment and facilitate career management. In general, its goal is to investigate the industry as a whole and identify the root causes of people’s employment struggles.

The Client’s main focus was to provide job search based on the job seeker’s qualifications and experience as well as give employers an opportunity to offer candidates appropriate positions at their companies.

The main trait of the application was to make the job search process easier and more pleasant for all social categories, especially former military, infantry, and police officers. When people resign or retire, they find the change in the career field extremely difficult to handle. That's why within the app, searching for employment options had to be as simple and user-friendly as possible.

Implementation

Jelvix designed and developed iOS & Android mobile app, web portal, and admin panel. Core functionality includes such powerful features as a coaching suite of videos, the option of building a digital CV, live jobs, a direct messaging tool, and the collection of 800+ careers.

Reasonable competitive advantages of the app for job seekers are the vacancy saving option to view and apply for later, the option to apply with the digital profile, volunteer opportunities, etc. We provided our customer with full tech support and training to ensure an engaging experience exceeding expectations.

The Jelvix team ensured the mobile and web platforms had a perfect user experience and consistent visual design.

Backend experts chose a perfect set of technologies for the project, including PHP, PostgreSQL, Nginx, Stripe SDK, Symfony/messenger. Frontend development was performed with the following technology stack: TypeScript, Angular, Google API, Google Places, Webpack, Prepared SSR. The iOS app was build in Swift code and used third-party libraries. The Android platform was performed within Kotlin and used Android SDK frameworks as well as third-party libraries and Youtube API.
