Project Summary

Distillery led a multi-month MVP engagement to design and build a custom iOS application for a student-focused jobs platform. The vendor facilitated brainstorming and specification over three months, then developed an iOS app with six category sections that lets users browse job posts, apply, and communicate with employers. Beta testing produced positive reviews and the client reported the website and social channels were launched for early access. Distillery was responsive to issues and maintained steady team continuity during development.

Key Challenges

  • Turn an idea into a working MVP for a student job platform.
  • Find and select an appropriate outsourced development partner from multiple candidates.
  • Client is nontechnical and required a vendor to handle technical development and troubleshooting.

Project Deliverables

  • Custom iOS application
  • Minimum viable product (MVP)
  • In-app communication feature

Project Solution

Distillery ran an initial two-hour kickoff and three months of brainstorming to define the MVP, then developed a custom iOS application organized into six content categories. The app allows users to browse employer job posts, apply for jobs, and use an in-app communication feature to arrange meetings and appointments. The vendor assigned a project lead and coordinated work across remote development resources and marketing contacts.

Project Outcome

  • Positive beta testing with reviews posted on the landing page.
  • Website and social media pages live for early access and content distribution.
  • Vendor was responsive and handled technical issues for nontechnical founders.
  • Development completed with a planned launch in mid-Jan. 2018.
