Overview
How MetaDesign Solutions created an employment platform which would connect employers with relevant job seekers and manage their data in an effective manner.
Client
Jobdroid is an online Employment portal based in Australia featuring an extensive set of tools which helps employers to find the most relevant applicants, especially for Blue Collar jobs. Jobdroid provides a platform which is fast, factual and transparent.
Jobdroid maintains a large database with relevant tags attached to each job listing to aid in finding jobs faster. This database is seamlessly integrated with other job websites such as 1800drivers, Gumtree, driverjobs.com.au and more.
Requirements
The client already had an existing web portal which was not delivering the desired performance or results, and therefore contacted MDS to develop a comprehensive employment portal which catered to a wide spectrum of job profiles in Australia. They required an intuitive and functional web platform which could handle high volume web traffic with ease.
At the outset, Jobdroid was required to have the following attributes
- The ability for clients to browse and finalize applicants within 30 minutes
- An online interview facility for applicants
- Search function which would ideally show client’s only relevant profiles
- A Secure payment portal for clients
- Purchasable credits for client’s which they could use within the Jobdroid ecosystem
- Seamless integration with other leading job portals and classifieds
MDS Solution
Jobdroid is a comprehensive job portal which caters to a wide range of job profiles. To revamp their legacy systems and ensure a smooth and fruitful user-experience, Jobdroid consists of multiple technologies working concurrently to ensure the user’s get exactly what they need from Jobdroid.
To establish Jobdroid as a premier employment portal, the client required that the platform be easily accessible on a wide range of hardware, and needed the website to be extremely responsive and intuitive on both smartphones and desktops.
To achieve this, the MDS development team utilized the following technologies.
-
Front-End
To develop a responsive and intuitive front-end experience, MDS used a combination of HTML5, CSS3, Bootstrap3, Angular in MVC Framework. This ensured that the Jobdroid web portal was responsive and could scale well on mobile platforms.
-
Back-End
Being an employment portal which catered to a large selection of job profiles, it was essential that Jobdroid be able to handle vast amounts of web traffic. To achieve this, MDS developed a robust back-end framework using C#.Net, ASP.Net 4.5, Netcore 2.1. SQL Server was used to create the Database and Redis for a NoSQL Database.
After successfully stress testing the above, Jobdroid had the following attributes:
-
Intuitive and modern User Interface
-
Integration with other Job portals for specific job profiles
-
Payment portal with which clients could purchase credits to use within the Jobdroid ecosystem
-
The ability for applicants to give their interview online
-
The ability for employers to find the applicant most suited to their requirements within 30 minutes
Challenges
When Jobdroid contacted MDS, their existing legacy systems and databases were extremely out of date. This posed several challenges and we had to create a robust web platform from scratch.
01
Jobdroid’s back-end was created using .NET Core which was a new technology at the time and had no documentation. We had to create unique solutions.
02
The existing systems had poor performance and needed improvement to match up to requirements. A new backend was made in line with the new UX. DB performance was improved after indexing.
03
The platform was facing scalability issues and had a problem in coping with heavy loads. MDS resolved this by distributing problematic segments into micro processes to enhance performance significantly.
04
There were issues in adding new features to the platform. This was resolved by restructuring the architecture.
Business Impact
MetaDesign Solutions delivered a robust and user-friendly employment portal to Jobdroid. This platform was concisely integrated with other platforms and delivered significant performance improvements as required by the client. MDS Development Services have led to Jobdroid establishing themselves as a premier employment platform in Australia.

I would recommend MetaDesign for anyone looking for Plug-in Development or Workflow Automation using InDesign or InDesign Server. We had a fairly complex InDesign Workflow problem to solve; MetaDesign provided just right the set of suggestions and built custom stuff which was required.
