TalenTrade: Job Portal Application

The customer is a Germany-based company that provides a solution for the traditional hiring process. Seeking to bridge the gap between freelancers and job opportunities, TalenTrade's robust job portal app for freelancers introduced features like freelancer verification, secure payments, and real-time communication.

Challenge:

Before the development of the job Portal application, it was very difficult for freelancers and job seekers to find work that best matched their skill set and could easily connect with clients in different places. Freelancers are no longer worried about not getting paid, and the risk of getting unreliable clients has decreased. Freelancers needed a platform where they could showcase their skills more appropriately, and at the same time, clients were facing difficulties in finding suitable talents. 

• Integrating Stripe Payment Gateway for Israel and the US:  In TalenTrade, we have users from multiple countries like Israel, the United Kingdom, and the United States, so integrating a reliable payment platform that handles money transfers among various countries was a bit challenging. 
• Integrating Pusher: Pusher integration presented a complex but essential requirement for "TalenTrade." Real-time communication and updates are crucial in modern web applications, especially with interactive and collaborative features.
• Integrating System Logs: The System Logs feature in "TalenTrade" aimed to capture and record any errors or noteworthy events within the application. These events were logged in a structured JSON format, making analyzing and diagnosing issues easier. Admins had access to these logs, enabling them to view the exact details of when an error occurred, which client or freelancer was affected, and what operation they performed.

Solutions:
