How Provis built Shonai Zukan, a job portal that connects job seekers and employers.

Shonai Zukan is a job portal: job seekers find jobs and employers hire. Provis built it with its own design theme, on the same kind of structure as another job portal Provis built.

  • Employers

The situation

A job portal with two sides.

Shonai Zukan is a job portal that lets job seekers find jobs and lets employers, the job providers, hire.

Provis built it from the ground up. It follows the general job-portal pattern, with job seekers on one side and employers on the other, and has a different design theme from Provis's other job portal.

How hiring usually runs without a job portal

  1. Employer has an openingit is shared in a few places, by hand
  2. Job seekershave to search many sites to find it
  3. Applicationsarrive by email, in no set order
  4. Hiringtracked in a spreadsheet, if at all

A typical flow for businesses like this, not a record of this client.

Common problems, and how Provis fixes them

What usually slows a job portal down

Problems Provis often sees in projects like this, and how it fixes them.

  1. Openings hard to find

    When jobs are spread over many pages, job seekers give up before they find the right one.

    How Provis approaches itSearch and filters that suit job seekers

    Job seekers search and narrow down openings in one place, on a phone or a desktop.

  2. Employers waste time

    If posting a job and reading applications is slow, employers go back to email.

    How Provis approaches itA simple place for employers to post and review

    Employers post an opening and see who applied in one list.

  3. A portal that looks like every other

    Two portals on the same structure can still need their own look to feel like the client's brand.

    What Provis builtA proven structure with its own design theme

    Provis reuses a job-portal structure that already works, and gives it a design of its own.

How the work ran

How Provis runs a job portal project

  1. Discovery and auditProvis looks at what exists today, and agrees with you what to fix or build first
  2. Build or fixThe work is done in small pieces you can see and review as they land
  3. Test and launchEverything is checked on phones and desktops, and on real data, before it goes live
  4. SupportAfter launch Provis monitors, fixes and improves, around the clock
  • Two sides, one plan: agree what job seekers do, and what employers do, before anything is built.

  • Proven structure: start from a job-portal structure that already works, then add the look and rules this client needs.

  • Launch and support: test with real openings and applications, then keep the portal monitored and updated.

Our approach:

Reuse what works, design what is yours.

A tested structure saves time, and a design of its own keeps the portal looking like the client's.

Every Provis build comes with 24/7 monitoring and support after launch.
