Defence Industry Link began as just an idea in the imagination of the client. The inspiration to then have this idea come to life was due to the steep cost they began noticing for “job advertisement” websites, creating a burden on Small to Medium Enterprises (SME’s) needing to find talented individuals within the Defence Industry sector. It was then their goal to provide a similar service but at a much more competitive rate, and solely focused on the defence industry only.
We had many back and forth meetings with the client to establish exactly how it was going to function, both from an employer and a job-seeker perspective. Once the workflow had been determined and we understood the client’s direction with this project, we then started with the initial branding and logo design, a fundamental component that would help us to form the overall design of the website!
Once we had settled on the design of the logo, we could then plan to build the website using the colour scheme chosen and start populating the website with content.
Naturally, being in the defence industry, security was of high importance to protect all user’s information. We set them up with a fully redundant website hosting package that features DDOS Protection, Fortinet Firewall, 24/7 Malware scanning, hourly off-site backups and a Comodo SSL Certificate with 128/256 bit encryption.
What the client ended up with is a fantastic system for employers and contractors to upload their jobs to the website through their own private member areas! Job-seekers are then able to connect with those employers through their own managed member areas, where they can create their profiles, upload resumes and manage their applications.
