As our collaboration has spanned, we have actively contributed to the development of a brand-new website version. Our involvement includes creating and shaping numerous features, resolving bugs, and optimizing performance.
We integrated and customized the latest job portal features into Seniors@Work, dividing its interface into two key aspects:
Company Interface: This allows users to post job openings, search for candidates, and engage in app-based chats.
Applicants Interface: Here, users can upload CVs, search for open positions using custom filters, and set notifications for relevant job opportunities.
Candidates’ View
Upon registering as a job-seeking candidate, you unlock a comprehensive view that encompasses an extensive list of available positions and the corresponding company profiles that posted them. To enhance the efficiency of your job search, applicants can set filters for the job listings and receive timely notifications when relevant positions are posted.
Furthermore, candidates have the ability to engage in direct communication with any company through the portal. The customizable company filter is a valuable tool that allows candidates to precisely identify the most relevant jobs in proximity to their location.

In case there are no suitable profiles currently available, you can set up alerts to be notified as soon as a matching candidate’s profile appears on the platform
