Case study
Recruitment Website Case Study: StaffSource
How we built a recruitment site that candidates can use on their phones and trust with their CV, their photo and a video of themselves.
The brief
StaffSource matches candidates with employers across sectors such as hospitality, healthcare, IT, retail and logistics. Most of what it does starts with a person applying from a phone.
An application holds someone's contact details, work history, photo and video. So applying had to take minutes, and people had to be able to trust the site with all of it.
- Client
- StaffSource, a recruitment business with offices in South Africa, Dubai and Botswana
- Our work
- Website and recruiter workspace: designed, built and secured by Bitara
- First release
- October 2026
What we built
- A five-step application made for phones, starting with the CV
- The CV read on StaffSource's own server to fill in what it can, with nothing sent anywhere else
- A photo and a video introduction of up to two minutes, recorded in the browser or uploaded
- Job ads that show their pay and closing date, with every change on record
- A private link where each candidate can withdraw their application
- A recruiter workspace for applications, job ads and employer enquiries
How applicants' data is protected
- Names, contact details, cover notes, CVs, photos and videos encrypted before they are stored
- Row-level security in the database: the public website can submit applications but cannot read them back
- Recruiters sign in with a strong password and a code from an authenticator app
- Every opening, change or deletion of an application or file logged, with who and when
- Public forms protected by Cloudflare
- Applications and enquiries deleted automatically after 365 days, and at once if a candidate withdraws
