Background

Designed and developed by a team consisted of two people, Gradforce is a recruitment platform MVP focused on students who are just graduated or about to graduate. It aids both employers and employees to find eachother easier than before in Auckland, New Zealand.

Problem

Finding a job is one of the biggest changes in everybody’s life, especially if it is the first job you are taking. Universities are doing their best to teach the students whatever they need for the industry. It's only when they apply for the first job that they get to know there are still some things missing in the toolbox to land their dream job.

Solution

A website that is user-friendly, professional and different from other similar options available on the web. It permits our client to know and meet undergraduate, graduate or post-graduate students and employers. Moreover, he can manage the collected information and help clients to find their best match based on the skills needed and work experience required by July 2019.

Conclusion

The GradForce Website MVP delivered as it was planned. The purpose of this MVP by our client is to run a new startup and more features would be added to the platform later on. Unfortunately, I was not able to continue working on the project. However, after I left, the new teams are continuing the process we started. The new features are supposed to be added to the current website and make more functionalities along the way.
