Business Needs

Understanding your business needs, one solution at a time.

Defining The Problem

We are eager to understand the level of difficulty

  • Water GEP (Graduate Employment Programme) is a presidential initiative and one of Africa’s biggest water and sanitation research programmes managed by the Water Research Commission (WRC).
  • Water GEP aims to place science or engineering degree graduates with host research institutions.
  • The programme was established to help unemployed graduates find suitable positions and to support ongoing research projects.
  • To connect graduates with their desired host institutions and vice versa, the WRC needed a system that could facilitate this connection.

Understanding The Need

You have zealous to make this easy.

  • The project was a pilot initiative by the WRC meant to monitor project progress.
  • The project’s goal was to digitise the recruitment process of the nation and provide opportunities to host institutions and unemployed graduates.
  • The Water GEP under WRC wanted a platform to connect graduates and host institutions with minimal effort and cost.
  • The platform was designed to simplify finding suitable projects and managing project contracts online.
  • Graduates could use the platform to report on project progress to their employer institutions periodically.

What Zealous Proposed ?

Research. Understood. Proposed.

A Digital Recruitment Platform

We proposed building a centralized digital platform that seamlessly connects graduates with host institutions, enabling end-to-end management of the recruitment process, from job posting and applications to selection and onboarding, within a single system.

Minimalist and user-friendly flow

Our team suggested a clean, intuitive user experience tailored for multiple stakeholders, ensuring that both graduates and institutions could navigate the platform effortlessly, reduce friction in applications, and complete actions with minimal steps.

Digital data management

We recommended implementing a robust data management system where graduates could securely upload, store, and manage their documents and certifications, both pre- and post-hiring, allowing host institutions to access, verify, and process information efficiently from a single source of truth.

The Journey

The fight was tough but so fun to crack!

Being a government initiative and a pilot project, our team needed to invest significant effort to comprehend the client's requirements, process nuances, and specialized terminology. Additionally, recruitment involves diverse norms and documentation processes to find the right candidates for the institution.
