Writing an effective job ad is no easy task. Especially given that most of them turn out to be filled to the brim with clichés or buzzwords, so one’s vision is getting blurred, and people become less perceptive of what information is actually being conveyed. To cope with this problem, recruiters try to advertise jobs in more creative and innovative ways, using alternative source platforms.

Our client has offered a new tool to get messages across between recruiters and applicants. Their novel product was intended to help companies and job seekers to do an effective job search in a less conventional way – audio format. At the time when Jobcast started the search for the right people to put their idea into practice, they knew about Vilmate beforehand.

We entered into a business partnership with Jobcast in 2019, but our acquaintance with today’s one of the key people on the project, Nils Wijkmark, traces back to 2017. When the discussion of the Jobcast project scope and other related details began, our client had a functional website, a great product vision, and a design specification for a mobile application. That was the starting point for Vilmate-Jobcast cooperation.

First, we prepared a proposal that offered an estimated cost and schedule based on the client’s business goals. Once we obtained the client’s approval and determined the scope of work, the next step was to define the basic rules for project implementation. Thus, the contractual terms of the agile fixed-price contract served as a guideline for the Jobcast project execution.

In September 2019, the project team of 2 front-end developers and 2 back-end developers (1 full-time and 1 part-time) was formed. They have built Jobcast mobile applications for iOS and Android from scratch. Using React Native, the team has been able to create usable and functional mobile apps that are now available to users.

hey offer a full range of functionality, including:
– An audio player powered by an autoplay feature and a common capability to play background audio
– A payment system that enables employers to pay for the job ads they wish to add
– Profile settings that can be adjusted to get the most accurate job posting search results.
