Project Overview

The goal was to connect job seekers with over 2 million recruiters across 195+ countries and 2,000+ cities, covering more than 50 industry categories. The platform needed to be intuitive for users and efficient for administrators to manage the extensive database and distribution processes.

Our Solution
Why a Credit-Based Distribution Model Changes the Build
A standard job board is organised around listings and applications. JobPostmen had to organise the product around a candidate document, a paid credit balance and a recipient set. That means payment confirmation, credit allocation, CV delivery and distribution history need separate states that an operator can inspect.
The trade-offs are clear: a credit ledger adds reconciliation work, outbound email adds provider and deliverability concerns, and a large recruiter network adds data and administration overhead. Those costs are justified only when managed distribution is the product, not when the business simply needs a vacancy board.
Choose a credit-based platform when the paid action is controlled CV distribution. Choose a standard job board or ATS in almost every other recruitment workflow.
To meet JobPostmen's requirements, we utilized a strategic technology stack:
- SvelteKit: Chosen for its performance and scalability, enabling a fast and responsive user interface.
- PocketBase: Implemented as the backend solution for managing user data, credit transactions, and CV distributions efficiently.
- Brevo (formerly SendinBlue): Integrated for reliable and scalable email distribution, ensuring CVs reach the intended recipients promptly.
- Razorpay: Used to facilitate secure and seamless payment processing for credit purchases, supporting multiple payment methods.
