Overview

Overview

Most businesses put all their effort into making their website look great, but the portal? That often gets pushed to the back. That is just what happened with the CRC.

CRC is a recruitment company helping construction professionals find the right opportunities across the UK. They came to us with a portal that just wasn't working. Users were frustrated, engagement was dropping, and the platform wasn't delivering what job seekers actually needed. So we got to work.

The challenge

The challenge

The portal had some pretty obvious problems:

  • Job listings were poorly organised, making it hard for seekers to find something relevant
  • No way to track hours worked or monitor earnings, which meant constant confusion about payments
  • The interface was outdated and clunky, offering little guidance for users navigating their job search
  • Login rates were dropping because the platform just wasn't worth the hassle

Our solution

Our solution

So we rebuilt the whole thing with job seekers in mind:

  • A clean jobs board with filters for location, pay rate, and job type – finding the right fit became way easier
  • A real-time salary and hours tracker so workers could see exactly what they've earned and when
  • A unified dashboard bringing everything together – active applications, upcoming shifts, saved jobs, all in one place
  • Smart notifications that ping users when new opportunities match their profile or when there's movement on their applications

Results

Results

CRC now has a portal that actually does what it's supposed to – helping people find and land jobs.
