The project

Cost estimate cut fourfold

A major player in the recruitment industry had a candidate portal whose interface relied on a front-end framework that had become obsolete, several versions behind and unmaintained.

The challenge

An initial rebuild had been costed then abandoned, its price deemed too high.

01

Technical

An obsolete front-end framework, several versions behind and unmaintained.

  • Modernize the candidate portal interface
  • Move off an unmaintained framework
  • Clear the technical debt
02

Budget

A rebuild deemed too expensive, and therefore postponed.

  • Move past an abandoned first estimate
  • Make the rebuild fundable
  • Find a sustainable trajectory

The solution
