Business Challenges

With this massive idea, the customer came to us to develop a job portal with complicated capabilities, and we only had a business plan from the client side. With aspects such as developers’ issues with flow on many products in mind, there were numerous things to focus on while solving issues where no flow design was provided by the client side, and it’s our job to ensure the flow stays perfect for the requirements and doesn’t become as irritative as expected for many websites.

They demand a more advanced search with filters for location, job type, date posted, category, income, and so on.
They want to integrate the premium job system so that the company can make their job available in the featured section.
They want to integrate automated backup with Amazon S3 and Dropbox backup frequency support.
Twilio and Nexmo APIs SMS notifications
Create a chat module to allow recruiters and job seekers to communicate instantly.
CMS for static pages like: About Us, FAQ, Terms & Privacy, etc.

Solutions

Our dedicated UX team designed an extensive and attractive flow for the job portal, and the client was happy with the defined flow; therefore, we handed over the project to the development team with that flow. Involving the UX team in such initiatives may be a wonderful way to create trust with customers in our capabilities and provide a clear image of what we will achieve, and we did the same.

Developed a custom search page that allows users to select results using various criteria. We built a cache system to speed up searches.
Developed Plans and Packages modules with the ability to specify the duration of job posts to show featured in the section.
Developed a cron job with support for Dropbox and Amazon S3 for automatic backup. Backups that are scheduled will be kept in Dropbox or S3.
Developed a chat module using Pusher’s real-time messaging service.
Developed Stripe using the Laravel Cashier Stripe package, and PayPal was developed using the srmklive/laravel-paypal package.
