Meteor with Salesforce- The Job App

About the Client

The client is a US based company, located in Atlanta.

Challenges

The Client wanted a mechanism where a technology is used that supports both website and a mobile app. The requirement was to build both a website and a mobile app for Job portal. The main feature of the project was to find in database all the matching jobs to a given jobseeker profile and email the jobseeker all those jobs. Similarly, jobApp finds all the matching jobseeker active profile to a given recruiter’s job post profile and email all those to the recruiter. They wanted a mobile app as well as a website for this functionality.

Solution

Meteor

Astrea implemented this using Meteor as the main web framework. Astrea helped the client with solutions with one build i.e Meteor, that can run on every device. With the help of Meteor platform, we implemented the business needs of clients into web and mobile apps with our single solution.

Heroku

For hosting purpose, we used Heroku. Heroku provides a secure, scalable database-as-a-service. All the bulk API’s were called through Heroku. It made the processes of deploying, configuring, scaling, tuning, and managing apps as simple and straightforward as possible.

Salesforce

Storing and integrating with our client data in Salesforce enabled efficient CRM engagement. Heroku provided seamless Heroku Postgres and Salesforce Data synchronization, enabling our customer to go beyond the usual data architectures and combine the capabilities of the Force.com and Heroku platforms. Salesforce was tightly Integrated with Heroku in this app providing smooth synchronization between the two platforms. The API’s were called through Heroku to Salesforce. It was a cost effective venture and provided all the features demanded by the customer.

Results

The App was built as required by the customer that allowed user to find job of their relevant interest and experience and also allowed recruiter to post the job and find the desired candidate. The app was free for Job Seeker and Paid for Recruiter where both can register and get their unique login Id and Password. The candidates got notified by the mails whenever any job of their interest or experience appeared. The recruiter also received the mail alert if there were candidate (s) of their desired profile. The app and the website both had the same functionalities which was successfully done with the use of Meteor Framework.
