Complex Recruitment Process for Projects

A lot of companies use a manual way to post their project requirements and recruit suitable consultants, which is a time-consuming and complicated process. The need for a centralized solution to solve this problem arose.

Challenges in Searching for Relevant Consultants

Only using basic profiles to search for consultants makes it hard for companies to find suitable candidates. It was important to introduce advanced filters that would enable companies to search for consultants depending on language, experience level, specialization, qualifications, price, and ratings.

Manual Way to Manage Proposals & Applications

In order to apply to a certain project, consultants have to share a variety of information about themselves, such as CV, payment, availability, project approach, etc. The manual way of managing such applications is not convenient.

Lack of Integrated Communication for Companies & Consultants

Without any built-in communication channel, companies and consultants could use other external tools, which makes it hard to organize all the project-related conversations.

Revenue Model & Consultant's Promotion

It was important to implement a business model that would enable monetization through subscription plans for companies and featured packages for consultants.

Company Registration & Profile Setup

Companies can register by submitting their business details. After admin approval, they can access the platform and start managing projects and recruitment activities.

Subscription Plans

Companies can select from multiple subscription plans based on their project posting requirements. Stripe integration enables secure online payment for selected plans.

Company Dashboard

The dashboard provides an overview of posted projects, applicants, hired consultants, latest messages, and notifications.

Project Posting

Companies can create projects by adding project titles, descriptions, start dates, duration, budgets, and supporting documents. Projects can also be saved as drafts for completion later.

Project Management

Companies can view all their projects along with project descriptions, views, application counts, and statuses such as awaiting review, shortlisted, and applicants. They can edit, view, or delete projects as required.

Applicant Management

Advanced Consultant Search

Companies can directly search for consultants using filters such as language, seniority, specialization, qualification, price, and ratings.

Consultant Dashboard

Consultants can access a personalized dashboard where they can view suitable projects and track projects they have applied for.

Project Discovery

Consultants can search and filter available projects and view project details such as project poster, cost, timeline, and on-site status.

Proposal Submission

Featured Consultant

Consultants can purchase featured packages to improve their visibility and appear prominently when companies search for potential consultants.
