How it works

  1. 1

    Everyone creates an account

    Candidates build a profile, companies set up an employer account. It takes a few minutes.

  2. 2

    Companies post jobs

    The listing goes live right away, and the company can search for candidates by city and category.

  3. 3

    They find each other

    Candidates apply to jobs, and companies can invite available candidates directly.

What each side can do

The platform has two account types, each with its own tools.

For candidates

What it's built with

What each technology does in the project, in short.

  • React

    The screens, buttons and forms that candidates and companies use. Version 19.

  • Material UI

    The set of visual components: fields, menus and buttons that look and behave the same everywhere.

  • Flask

    The back end, written in Python: accounts, jobs, applications and subscriptions.

  • PostgreSQL

    The database: it stores accounts, jobs and applications.

  • Docker

    Packages the app so it runs the same way on the server after every update.

How the data is protected

The platform runs on a server we set up ourselves. In short, what gets it ready for real users:

  • Dedicated server

    The platform runs on its own server (VPS), not shared with other websites.

  • Encrypted access

    The server can only be managed over an encrypted connection (SSH).

  • Firewall

    The server only accepts the traffic it strictly needs. Everything else is blocked.

  • Automatic blocking

    Fail2ban blocks addresses that repeatedly try to guess a password.
