Social media is not limited to just Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, TikTok, and others. Social Media also means specialized services that bring together people interested in a professional career.
The dynamic labor market makes us want to know if the company we are going to work with has a good reputation. We also want to learn about the experiences of former or current employees. Everybody can do that thanks to Kununu, a leading company in German-speaking countries.
Kununu was founded in 2007 by Martin and Marek Pareda and aimed to promote a policy of transparency in the labor market. In 2013, the platform was absorbed by Xing AG. The brand is available in foreign markets: Kununu also provides its services in the United States. In the 10 years following Kununu’s launch, 1.5 million opinions on companies have been recorded. On Kununu you can find a specific job and company salaries, reviews, interview questions, and more – all posted by employees for employees.
Kununu had to move to a new web platform and fix a few bugs. In addition to that, it was necessary to create new landing pages and implement new functionalities for client. Thanks to those changes it provided its users with improved performance and comfort when using the service.
Concise Software worked with them to create a new solution. The functionalities were transferred from the old architectures (Zend 1.x and Angular 1.x) to microservices (React for frontend, Symphony 3 for backend). This in turn increases the speed of the platform and affects the convenience of users. The Review component was moved to React as the SSR Services were based on the Electrode framework. Thus, Kununu was able to achieve new business objectives and optimise its operations in the market. This is supported by real indicators!
