Technology goals: to create a convenient, easy-to-use interface for the mobile application; to set up the data exchange between the app and the Jobs in Kharkov website database; to build and publish a mobile application for Android and ios devices.
SOLUTION We developed the mobile application for the two major mobile platforms, and it has a simple, bright interface and rich functionality for applicants and employers.
