Project Summary

Gradbay, a UK-based graduate hiring platform, engaged Hestabit to build an interactive DIY hiring marketplace with dashboards, onboarding, and employer tools. Hestabit implemented the site using JavaScript, designed landing pages, built an automated user-testing tool, and integrated security measures including encryption and two-factor authentication.
