In a nutshell

Challenge, solution, result

Challenge

Skilled workers such as fitters rarely apply with a cover letter and CV — classic job boards lose them along the way.

Solution

A landing page per job with a nine-step application, connected to an admin area for the whole team.

Result

Every application runs traceably from “new” to the offer, and every ad becomes measurable through campaign links.

Starting point

Fitters and service technicians rarely apply with a cover letter and CV via classic job boards. Zieglmeier needed an application that works on a smartphone in a few minutes — and a tool that lets the team handle every application without email chaos.

Security & privacy

Two-factor login via TOTP or passkeys, hardened sessions, checked file uploads and rate limiting — documented in a dedicated security audit. Visitors are only counted anonymously, applications are deleted after fixed periods.

One product for many industries

The portal is built as “Performance Recruiting”: content, design, locations, email templates and team access can be configured without code — so the same platform can serve other businesses too.
