Overview

We build complete job portal platforms with a candidate app or web app, an employer dashboard, and an admin control panel, all backed by a single scalable system. Candidates search and filter jobs, build profiles, upload resumes, apply in a few taps, and get matched alerts, while employers post jobs, screen applicants, and manage their hiring pipeline. It is built for recruitment startups, niche job boards, and staffing companies that need a polished two-sided marketplace connecting employers and job seekers.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does it take to build a job portal?

A core job board typically takes 5 to 7 weeks, a full-featured portal with advanced search and employer tools runs 9 to 13 weeks, and a complete recruitment platform with billing, matching, and messaging lands in the 14 to 22 week range. We give you a firm timeline once we lock the feature scope.

Will it work on web and mobile?

Yes. We build a responsive web platform for both candidates and employers, and we can add native iOS and Android apps for candidates who prefer to search and apply on mobile. Many clients launch web first for employers and add the candidate mobile app in the Professional or Enterprise tier.

How do search and job alerts work?

We power search with proper indexing so candidates can filter by location, salary, job type, skills, and more with fast results. Candidates save searches and receive job alerts by email and push when matching roles are posted, which is a major driver of repeat engagement.

Can it scale as listings and traffic grow?

Yes. We build with a scalable backend, indexed and full-text search, and caching so the platform stays fast as job and applicant volume grows. The Enterprise tier adds relevance tuning, smart matching, and an architecture ready for high traffic.

Can employers be charged to post jobs?

Yes. The Enterprise tier includes monetization for employers through subscriptions, pay-per-post, or featured and sponsored listings, with billing handled through a payment provider and managed from the admin panel.
