about the project

jobvalley is a personnel service provider specialising in the placement of students and young professionals.

I was hired by Studitemps GmbH as freelance full-stack developer to help realising the relaunch of their corporate website jobvalley.com (former studitemps.de) in 2021 and convert the existing WordPress site to a fast loading headless solution using modern technologies such as Contentful, Next.js and Tailwind. Working closely with the Marketing and UX/UI departments, we formed a great team to get the project started. With a tight schedule in mind, we managed to create the first version within a few weeks and improve the project in the following months.

In addition to static content pages, the website also aggregates job postings from various internal tools, which are collected in a MongoDB database and made available on the website via the MongoDB Data API. Furthermore, various endpoints are provided to make jobs also available on external job platforms such as Xing or Indeed.

In order to also address English-speaking students and companies, we have expanded the project into a multilingual website that supports German and English.
