Glassdoor: Revolutionizing the Global Job Market
When discussing job marketplaces, it would be remiss not to mention Glassdoor, the home for workplace conversations and insights, in the same breath. With millions of monthly users relying on their iOS and Android apps, the premier platform that connects job seekers with employers worldwide found itself in need of a transformation.
Due to older technologies and obsolete architecture existing apps contained a substantial amount of legacy code. This required extra development cycles to achieve the desired stability, limiting the scalability of the team, and causing a prolonged engineering effort to implement new functionalities. To remain ahead of the curve, a comprehensive overhaul was essential. So, we partnered up with the Glassdoor team and quickly got to work.

🏔Challenge
The challenge at hand was clear – the existing mobile apps were showing their age. Struggling to meet the demands of an ever-expanding user base, which numbered in the millions, and affected by all the issues inherent in large-scale projects, it was time for a full rewrite. Our partnership with Glassdoor aimed to transform their apps into state-of-the-art, technically sound architectural marvels.

💪 Solution
Undaunted by the task, our teams embarked on an intense collaboration to redefine the apps’ architecture and functionality. The project began with aligning our understanding of Glassdoor's vision with the intricate technical requirements of community conversations and a robust job marketplace application.
Leveraging the latest technology and development best practices, including a design system, scalable app architecture, and a complex analytics module, we forged an extremely efficient solution.
Our developers worked hand in hand with Glassdoor's stakeholders and engineers, ensuring that the new apps adhered to the highest standards of development performance, security, and user experience.
The adoption of Agile methodologies, specifically Scrum, facilitated a streamlined development process. This approach enabled us to address evolving requirements and deliver incremental updates efficiently.
🏆 Outcome
The result of our collaboration was nothing short of remarkable – groundbreaking iOS and Android apps that set new industry standards. The new rewritten apps not only met but exceeded Glassdoor's expectations, presenting users with a modern and intuitive platform.
Despite the complexity of the project, we successfully delivered both apps to the App Store and Google Play on time and within the allocated budget. The high-quality codebase ensures the stability, scalability, and reliability of the applications, ultimately contributing to an improved user experience.
Since the apps’ relaunch, Glassdoor has witnessed a substantial surge in engineering productivity that now helps deliver new functionalities to millions of users nearly 2 times faster.
