BrainSpate

BACKGROUND

Introduce your business and what you do there.

I'm the director of a pioneering multi-category app connecting users with businesses and couriers, offering on-demand services from local restaurants, grocers and supermarkets, and high street retail stores.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BrainSpate?

We hired BrainSpate to enhance our platform by integrating SmartRecruiters and improving the job management experience. The main objectives were to integrate SmartRecruiters' APIs with the existing website for automated job data synchronization, develop a better job listing and search experience for candidates, implement job filtering and job detail pages using SmartRecruiters data, enable candidates to apply for jobs through the integrated recruitment workflow, and add supporting functionality such as saved jobs and dynamic job-related content management.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BrainSpate handled the development and integration work required to connect our website with SmartRecruiters and improve the recruitment workflow. The main scope included SmartRecruiters API integration for retrieving and synchronizing job data, development of job listing functionality with search and filtering capabilities, creation of job detail views with relevant position information, integration of the job application workflow with SmartRecruiters, implementation of save job functionality for candidates, development of website components and templates required to display dynamic recruitment content, backend/admin-related configurations for managing the integrated functionality, and testing and refinements to ensure the implemented features worked as expected.

BrainSpate worked on specific recruitment-related features within the existing website rather than rebuilding the complete platform. The team handled both frontend and backend development aspects required for the SmartRecruiters integration, including connecting the recruitment APIs, displaying job data on the website, implementing job search and filtering functionality, and supporting the application workflow.

What is the team composition?

We worked with 2–5 teammates from BrainSpate.

How did you come to work with BrainSpate?

We found BrainSpate through an online search and a referral. We chose them over other options because they had high ratings, their pricing fit our budget, they were a great culture fit, they offered good value for the cost, they were referred to me, and their company values aligned with ours.

How much have you invested with them?

We spent around $90,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We worked with BrainSpate from September 2025 to June 2026.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

The project progress was measured through the successful implementation and completion of the planned SmartRecruiters integration and recruitment-related website enhancements. Key outcomes included connecting our website with SmartRecruiters, enabling job data synchronization, improving job listing and search functionality, and implementing the required application workflow. The project milestones, feature development, testing, and final refinements helped ensure the new functionality was properly integrated into the existing platform.

After the website enhancements were launched in July 2026, we observed improvements in the recruitment workflow and candidate experience. The updated SmartRecruiters integration and job search functionality helped streamline the process, and we saw around a 20%–30% improvement in job-related engagement and application activity compared to the previous process. The new system also reduced manual effort for managing job information by automating synchronization between SmartRecruiters and our website.

We measured the improvement by comparing recruitment-related website activity and application flow performance before and after the launch. The comparison was based on website analytics, job page interactions, and application activity through the recruitment workflow. The approximate 20%–30% improvement was observed after the new SmartRecruiters integration and job-related enhancements were implemented in July 2026.

After the SmartRecruiters integration, we noticed a reduction in the manual effort required for managing job postings and candidate-related processes. Approximately, the time spent on updating and maintaining job information was reduced by 30%–40% because job data synchronization became more automated through the integration. This allowed the team to focus more on recruitment activities rather than manual job updates and coordination.

How did BrainSpate perform from a project management standpoint?

BrainSpate managed the project in a structured way with regular communication, milestone tracking, and coordination between both teams. They worked closely with us throughout the development process, shared progress updates, incorporated feedback, and handled testing and refinements as required. We communicated through virtual meetings.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What stood out most about working with BrainSpate was their ability to understand our existing platform and work within the current structure while implementing the SmartRecruiters integration. The team was responsive during the development process, understood our requirements, and was able to handle both the technical integration work and the frontend changes needed for the recruitment experience. Their communication and attention to project details helped keep the implementation on track.

Are there any areas they could improve?

There was nothing they needed to improve.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What challenge were you trying to address with BrainSpate?

We needed to redesign and redevelop our website with a completely new, modern structure that could present our services, solutions, industries, and our offerings more effectively. We also wanted the new site to provide clearer navigation through the redesigned header, mega menu, and page structure; dedicated templates for services, solutions, industries, products, blogs, events, and careers; better lead-generation functionality through contact, demo-request, and popup forms; a manageable WordPress CMS so our team could update website content, resources, careers, blogs, events, and newsletters internally; and improved SEO management, responsive performance, analytics, and overall website usability.

SOLUTION

What was the scope of their involvement?

BrainSpate is handling the redesign and redevelopment of our WordPress website, covering both the UI/UX and functional implementation. The main deliverables include Figma-based redesign and implementation of the new website structure and user interface; redesigned global navigation, header, footer, mega menu, and core website pages; development of service, solution, industry, and page templates; careers section with job listings and individual job-detail pages; blog, resources, events, and newsletter sections with CMS management; contact, demo-request, and other lead-generation forms; WordPress CMS functionality for managing website content, careers, blogs, events, media, and leads; and SEO-related functionality, analytics integration, responsive implementation, testing, and performance optimization.

What is the team composition?

We’ve worked with around 6-10 teammates from BrainSpate.

How did you come to work with BrainSpate?

We found them through Google search. We chose them because they had high ratings, were close to our geographic location, had pricing that fit our budget, had a great culture fit, and had company values that aligned with ours.

How much have you invested with them?

We’ve spent around $210,000.

What is the status of this engagement?

We started working together in August 2025, and the engagement is ongoing.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What evidence can you share that demonstrates the impact of the engagement?

Since the website redevelopment is still in progress, we haven’t measured post-launch metrics such as traffic growth, lead volume, or conversion rates yet. We’re currently measuring progress against the agreed development milestones and completed functionality. Key website sections and page templates have been developed according to the new structure. The redesigned navigation and content structure are being implemented across the site. CMS functionality is being established for managing services, solutions, blogs, events, careers, and other content. Lead-generation forms and related functionality are being implemented and tested. QA, responsive testing, SEO configuration, and performance optimization are being addressed as part of the ongoing development.

How did BrainSpate perform from a project management standpoint?

BrainSpate has managed the project well, with clear communication and regular updates on the development progress. They’ve been responsive to our feedback and quick to address changes or refinements as they come up. The work has generally moved according to the agreed schedule, with key deliverables shared for review at the planned stages. Their team has been organized and easy to coordinate with, which has helped keep the project moving smoothly. We communicate via in-person meetings, virtual meetings, and emails or messaging apps.

What did you find most impressive about them?

What impresses me most is BrainSpate’s ability to handle a large website redevelopment with many different content and functionality areas while keeping the overall structure consistent. They’re particularly attentive to the details across the service, solution, industry, careers, and resource sections. I also appreciate how they handle feedback and refinements throughout the design and development process. The communication is straightforward, and the team is easy to work with.

Are there any areas they could improve?

Overall, the project has been well managed, and we haven’t had any major concerns. As with any large website redevelopment, there have been a few rounds of feedback and refinements, so having some additional clarity around the review timelines could make the process even more efficient. BrainSpate has been responsive to those discussions, and the project has continued to move forward smoothly.

We wanted customers to be able to browse books by categories and subcategories with search and filtering, view detailed product information, add books to a cart, complete purchases through a properly configured checkout process, pay online using the Selcom payment integration, create accounts, manage their details, and view their order history. We also wanted to give our team an easy-to-manage WordPress/WooCommerce backend for products, orders, coupons, and categories.

What is the team composition?

We work with 2–5 teammates from BrainSpate.

So far, we’ve been able to establish a functional WooCommerce storefront for physical book sales; product browsing with categories, search, filters, sorting, and pagination; a complete cart and checkout flow with Selcom payment integration; customer accounts with profile, address, and order history functionality; admin controls for managing products, categories, customers, orders, and coupons; and automated email notifications for key customer actions. These milestones have given us a working foundation for the online bookstore, with ongoing refinements and support handled as the project progresses.We’ve received feedback during the development and review process, particularly around the usability of the product browsing, cart, and checkout experience. The feedback has been useful for refining the navigation, product presentation, and overall purchase flow. We’ve also reviewed the customer account and order management functionality internally to make sure the main WooCommerce workflows are straightforward. BrainSpate has been responsive in incorporating the agreed feedback and addressing issues identified during testing.

What did you find most impressive about them?

Their practical approach to building the WooCommerce store around the actual purchasing journey stands out. They pay attention to details such as product filtering, customer accounts, order history, coupons, and the Selcom payment integration rather than treating the project as just a basic product catalog. They’re also responsive when we provide feedback and make the required refinements during development. Overall, the communication and willingness to work through the details make the collaboration straightforward.

Are there any areas they could improve?

No, there aren’t any.
