Freshmeet U Case Study – Scalable, Modular Drupal Solution by Dotsquares

The Client

Freshmeet U is an advanced
freelance marketplace designed especially for businesses and college students. Through a strong, scalable
digital ecosystem, it provides intelligent job matching, skill validation, and dynamic content sharing, with
the goal of bridging the gap between emerging talent and actual freelance opportunities.

The Challenge

The goal of Freshmeet U was to establish an online community where college students could demonstrate their
skills and be found by companies seeking new, talented independent contractors. The platform had to
integrate community, work, and education into a smooth experience. Among the main difficulties were:

• Scalable User Experience Design:
  Utilising design systems and modular front-end architectures to provide reliable, high-performing
  experiences for a range of user segments. It’s quite challenging as it involves localisation-ready
  interfaces, reusable component libraries, and responsive layouts that adjust to the needs of both
  individual students and business clients.
• Interactive Skill Assessment: Developing
  adaptive testing systems that measure user capabilities properly while maintaining integrity and
  fairness by analysing real-time inputs. To verify abilities beyond typical multiple-choice questions,
  these systems combine scenario-based simulations, real-world problem-solving exercises, and performance
  analytics.
• AI-Driven Job Matching: Implementing
  clever matching algorithms into practice that combine behavioural insights, market trends, and skill
  data to produce tailored employment recommendations. Using natural language processing (NLP) and
  graph-based models, the system continuously learns from user interactions and feedback loops, thereby
  improving match accuracy over time.
• Rich Multimedia Support: Allowing
  multimedia assets, including short stories and video portfolios, to be efficiently taken in, processed,
  and played back while being responsive and device-compatible. To guarantee accessibility and
  discoverability, integrated media workflows provide metadata tagging, adaptive quality streaming, and
  compression.
• Flexible and Engaging UI: Creating a
  component-driven, dynamic user interface framework that facilitates runtime customisation and seamless
  future feature integration. The interface ensures smooth interaction and scalability across various
  platforms and workflows by utilising event-driven patterns and a reactive architecture.

The Solution

Dotsquares developed a powerful, scalable platform for Freshmeet U using Drupal, leveraging its robust
content management capabilities and modular architecture. The solution delivered a dynamic user experience
and seamless backend management through the following core features:

  separate workflows for students and businesses, supporting unique functionalities and goals. This
  ensures each user type has access to the features and data relevant to their needs.

  engine that assessed user skills and displayed verified levels on public profiles. It provides real-time
  feedback to reflect a user’s abilities accurately.
• AI-Powered Job Matching: Integrated
  intelligent algorithms to recommend jobs and candidates based on skills, preferences, and platform
  activity. The system learns from user interactions to improve match quality over time.
• Multimedia Support: Enabled users to
  upload virtual portfolios and share short-form SNP stories to showcase their progress and personality.
  Media is optimised for smooth playback and accessibility across devices.
