Challenge
The client needed to launch a reliable job marketplace quickly. It had to:
- Let candidates search and filter jobs by title, country and category.
- Standardise job details: role, category, compensation, employment type and posting date.
- Show employer profiles with open roles and reviews.
- Load fast, stay secure and work well on mobile for users worldwide.
- Give internal admins simple tools to manage jobs and content.
Tech stack
- Frontend. Next.js and React for fast pages that search engines can index
- Backend. Node.js/Express or Laravel, API-first
- Database. PostgreSQL or MySQL for job and company data
- Search. Elasticsearch, Algolia or indexed SQL
- Auth. JWT sessions with optional OAuth
- Admin. a headless CMS such as Strapi, or a custom admin panel
- Integrations. social links and email notifications
- Monitoring. Google Analytics plus uptime and error monitoring
Solution
- Product design. A job-first layout with quick filters for job title, country and category, a recent jobs module, and company pages that show open positions and reviews.
- Data model. Schemas for jobs, companies, categories, locations, compensation ranges and employment types, with role-based admin tools for posting, moderating and scheduling jobs.
- Search. Indexed search with filters so results stay fast on large job datasets, plus “See more” pagination and deep links that search engines can follow.
- Candidate experience. A mobile-friendly layout with clear job details (category, posting date, salary where given, full-time flag) and short paths to log in or register when applying.
- Employer experience. Company profiles with jobs, culture signals and reviews to attract qualified candidates.
- Branding and data handling. Official social profiles and footer branding for Uprety Global Business Consulting and Services, security best practices and GDPR-friendly data handling.
Results
- Faster discovery. Filterable search shortens the time it takes to find relevant roles.
- More engagement. The recent jobs and company profile modules lead more visitors through to job postings.
- Easier operations. Admin tools make publishing and moderation quick across categories and locations.
- Ready for international hiring. The country and category structure supported hiring across borders from launch.
