Thriving Village
Hiring, turned into a sport.
- Sole engineer
- Django · Django REST Framework · Next.js · TypeScript · PostgreSQL
- hired through the community and platform
- 300+hired through the community and platform
- value processed
- $50,000+value processed
The problem
Job boards optimise for listing volume, not for outcomes. Candidates scroll. Nobody gets hired.
The approach
Thriving Village makes discovery social. Opportunities move through pooling, competitions and contests, so candidates surface through participation rather than through another application into a void.
What I owned
Architecture, data model, authentication, the community layer, deployment. Django and Django REST Framework on the server, Next.js and TypeScript on the client, PostgreSQL throughout.
Outcome
300+ people hired. $50,000+ in value processed.
