Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

Kepler Team took over the development of our mobile and desktop app from previous developers who were unable to deliver on the project. The tech is built on ruby on rails, react.js, flutter and AWS. The objective of the tech was to offer a marketplace of jobs that nurse professionals can turn to when they're looking for new job opportunities. The mobile app is for the job seeker.

It is inspired by Zillow in that the jobs are displayed on a map screen that uses the users location to find jobs near them. Users can search for jobs based on specific details. It features in-app messaging, a one-click apply option, and access to our partnership that provides career development opportunities. The website is where employers post jobs and engage with candidates. They're very easy to post thanks to friendly UI, and candidates are displayed immediately after posting.

Posting jobs features an algorithm that is customized each time a new job is posted. This allows the employer, who knows their needs best, the ability to prioritize certain credentials over others and find better-qualified matches. They can engage with candidates by messaging them directly on the platform or by sending them a job directly.
