App Evaluation

[Evaluation of your app across the following attributes]

  • Category: Productivity / Business
  • Mobile: We want to develop the app primarily for mobile and have a companion desktop app. We want the user to be able to find job postings on mobile, and if the job doesn't have easy apply, the user can continue applying on a desktop.
  • Story: Lets the user search for IT jobs while on the go and lets them save or apply for the job. A desktop companion app would allow the user to apply for a job saved on the mobile app if the process is too hard on mobile.
  • Market: Anyone looking for an job in an IT related field.
  • Habit: Job seekers would be using this app throughout the day to look up new job postings or access existing job aplications.
  • Scope: V1 Allow the user to search for job postings from different API's and save them to apply for later. User will be able to open a link directly to the application page. V2 App would let user email apps to themselves to be able to apply on a desktop.
