Professional Networking and Recruitment Platform
Techling Pvt Ltd took Cazvid from a simple mobile-only picture-scrolling app to a comprehensive multimedia platform for job seekers and recruiters. By leveraging advanced technologies, enhancing multimedia capabilities, and focusing on user-centered design, Techling created a platform that supports professional networking, job recruitment, and more. This transformation involved overcoming key infrastructure challenges, enhancing features, and ensuring a seamless user experience across devices.
Problem Statement
Cazvid faced several issues that hinder its growth and user engagement:
- Limited Functionality: The original app only allowed picture scrolling, offering minimal interactivity and failing to meet the evolving needs of job seekers and recruiters.
- Backend Constraints: The app’s backend, built on Firebase, offered limited customization options, restricting scalability and performance.
- Platform Limitations: The app was mobile-only, preventing users from accessing its features on desktops and limiting its reach.
- Lack of Professional Features: There were no features tailored to professional networking or job recruitment, such as resume uploads or job listings.
