01The problem

Tech employers and candidates needed one place to hire and apply, without juggling separate boards.

02The approach

A Next.js front end talking to a Django REST API, with an Apply or Hire choice at the door and plans behind it.

03What I built

  1. Landing page with Apply and Hire paths, sign-up and login
  2. Job distribution and job boards
  3. Free trials and subscriptions, with payment integration
  4. API integration between the Next.js front end and the Django back end
  5. Locked and unlocked apply flows for subscribed and unsubscribed users

04What changed

  • Employers and candidates hire and apply from one place
  • Subscribed users get the full apply process, while unsubscribed users see it locked until they subscribe
  • Free trials let people try the product before paying
