Archers Technologies

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I’m the CEO and owner of a workforce engagement and talent acquisition company.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with Archers Technologies?

We needed their help in developing our recruitment web application.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

I work in the recruitment industry, and we needed a web app to process applications through candidate tracking and pipeline management. Archers Technologies has built our system from scratch. They’ve integrated features that allow candidates to access updates and information and implemented multiple recruitment components via HTML and Angular.

Apart from candidate tracking and pipelining, Archers Technologies has developed a job board panel that allows candidates to skim through job postings and opportunities within their networks or preferred departments. They’ve also helped us design our app’s frontend, ensuring that all features are functional and user- and mobile-friendly.

The product is set to go live once we complete all ad hoc adjustment requests and app testings with the help of Archers Technologies’ team.

We work with one developer who’s in charge of the development, architecture, and frontend design of our web app.
