FlexCareers connects working parents with employers offering flexible work. With the platform already live and its user base growing fast, FlexCareers handed it to Kodius to run, modernise, and maintain — a partnership now in its sixth year.
Raising a newborn is one of the hardest jobs in the world — and one of the most fulfilling. To make a child happy, a parent first needs to be happy.
That means a daytime job with flexible arrangements, a real work-life balance, and enough room to properly take care of their child.
FlexCareers was founded to help parents achieve their career goals without sacrificing their lifestyle or commitments.
The majority of users are female, with an increasing number of men also looking for flexible work arrangements.
The algorithm only surfaces jobs that line up with the candidate’s experience, education, location, and flexibility requirements.
The algorithm returns the mirror image of the candidate’s experience and skills, creating an instant short-list of candidates best matched to a role.
With access to millions of CVs, the system uses machine learning to analyse career paths and assist both candidates and employers.
FlexCareers found Kodius through this article about Ruby on Rails, written by Kodius CEO Krešimir Bojčić.
Reading it, the FlexCareers team decided these were the people they wanted looking after their Rails platform — and brought Kodius on to take it over.
Six years on, FlexCareers still runs on the stack below — maintained and modernised continuously, never rebuilt from scratch.
FlexCareers is in Sydney; Kodius is in Zagreb. The eight-hour time difference has never gotten in the way of running the platform day to day.
Communication stays easy, and both teams understand each other well.
FlexHub followed — a system that helps employers support their employees as they adapt to processes and grow their skills.
Six years in, the platform’s operation, user-interface modernisation, database maintenance, and day-to-day running are all still handled by the same team that took it over — ownership, not just maintenance.
FlexCareers runs as a smooth, dependable platform serving hundreds of thousands of users across Australia and New Zealand — expanded and modernised without a break in ownership.
There are many more job seekers for FlexCareers to help — and the platform is built to keep doing it.
It’s an innovative, community-changing, attentive, and transparent company, and six years in, the collaboration is still going.
We have a large candidate and employer base dedicated to improving job opportunities for females re-entering the workforce or looking for flexible working options. With Kodius, we completed a successful transition of our entire platform to a technology stack far more suited for our current and future growth, resulting in better responsiveness, availability to our users and better protection of our data.
Other clients we’ve helped through the same trigger.
