Due to the local architecture, intricate scripting for each deployment was a requirement, resulting in frequent and troublesome downtime. Through our process enhancements and migration efforts, we successfully mitigated risks and minimized downtime.

The system now indicates available candidates, significantly reducing research time for our users.
We implemented a feature that automatically concealed the names of legal firms placing job advertisements, preventing candidates from applying outside the application.
We developed a sophisticated integration with the LinkedIn API, significantly enhancing the recruitment process.
