Job portal

WIR GmbH, as project management of the partners Economic Development Agency LRA, Lindau, Economic Development Agency Bodenseekreis, Economic Development Agency, LRA Konstanz and Economic Development Agency City of Ravensburg, has set itself the task of supplying companies in the Lake Constance-Upper Swabia-Allgäu regions with skilled workers and supporting and attracting young skilled workers in their job search by presenting the attractive region and its excellent specialist companies.
The stated goal is to be achieved through a relaunch of the job portal, which will appear structured, modern and fresh and in the future with coordinated advertising materials.

In order to ensure the combination of a business directory and a job portal with manual and XML interface creation, SOLr programming based on the CMS system TYPO3 was chosen.

Workshop

In order to ensure a clear structure/procedure for all 5 partners and to be able to clarify any open points and questions together, a moderated workshop was held first.

The implementation

An innovative, modern and appealing adaptation of the logo was found. The turquoise-blue logo with the three ascending arrows: sky/region/water, reflects the region and suggests freshness and stands for start, career and goal. The logo also covers the requirements for offline use very well and can also be used in one color. The desire for dynamism, stringency, clarity, recognition, freshness and modernity is reflected in the screen design through the clearly legible sublines in white on the dynamic gradients of the slopes, which take up the colors of the logo.

The business directory page comes into focus thanks to the color contrast in dark blue and creates a strong working atmosphere.

The color combination on the almost white background ensures a clear, well-organized presentation and, in combination with the selected shapes, creates a high level of recognition that runs through all pages/functions and can be easily transferred to print.

This graphic implementation provides an appealing and user-friendly platform for companies and applicants, which is clearly structured in responsive design and works excellently for all devices.

The search function can be activated directly on the homepage and the industry directory can be clicked on, and companies also have the option to register directly here.

A structured database with corresponding programming logic is stored.

The site is particularly characterized by the possibility of free industry listing for companies, the features of individual registration, the maintenance of the company profile, the posting of job offers with a possible XML import.

It offers free job offers, regional expertise and industry diversity and is a comprehensive portal for all career levels and life situations.

With current and attractive photos, visitors are informed about current activities in the region and relatives are also taken care of: there are a wide range of tips on leisure, accommodation, meeting points, social media share buttons, etc.
