PROJECT OVERVIEW

All-in-One Recruitment & Applicant Tracking Software

B2B Platform

Perform Zone runs an all-in-one recruitment and applicant tracking platform used by recruitment agencies and employers across Australia to post jobs, manage candidates, and track placements. After more than 10 years in production, the platform needed a technology refresh and a steady stream of new features, without risking the live workflows agencies and employers depended on daily.

InApps supplied an IT staff augmentation team of PHP, Laravel, and React developers who worked directly inside Perform Zone's roadmap, migrating legacy components to modern technology and building new functionality on an ongoing basis.

Project overview

WHAT THEY NEEDED

Client Requirements

Across each key area, these requirements shaped every architectural and product decision we made.

Legacy System Modernization

Perform Zone needed a staff augmentation team that could work inside an aging PHP codebase without breaking features agencies and employers relied on every day.

PHP Laravel migration
React frontend modernization
AWS infrastructure support
Zero-downtime deployment practices

Long-Term Development Capacity

Rather than a single project handoff, Perform Zone needed embedded developers who could sustain feature delivery over many months.

Continuous feature delivery
16-month engagement length
Direct collaboration with in-house product team
Flexible scope as priorities shifted

Recruitment Workflow Functionality

As an all-in-one recruitment tool, the platform needed to keep supporting core workflows recruitment agencies and employers depend on for hiring at scale.

Job posting and candidate search
Candidate management and tracking
Multi-job-board distribution
Employer and recruiter account management

Platform Foundation for Training Delivery

Beyond core recruitment functionality, Perform Zone needed the platform to support online and face-to-face training programs for its client base.

THE PROBLEMS

Business Challenges

The core obstacles that shaped every decision we made in rebuilding this platform.

01

Modernizing Live Software Without Downtime

Perform Zone's platform has been serving paying recruitment agencies and employers for more than 10 years. Migrating to new technology meant upgrading core systems without disrupting daily hiring workflows already in production.

02

Sustaining Long-Term Development Velocity

A single project sprint would not solve Perform Zone's needs. The client required a development team that could maintain consistent feature delivery across a 16-month engagement, not a short-term fix.

03

Balancing New Features With Platform Stability

Every new feature request needed to be built on top of a decade-old codebase without introducing instability into a platform actively used by recruitment agencies and employers.

04

Expanding Scope Into Training Delivery

Perform Zone needed its platform to grow beyond recruitment software alone, adding a scalable foundation for both online and face-to-face training programs.

HOW WE SOLVED IT

Our Solutions

Each solution addresses a specific pain point while contributing to a unified, future-proof platform, from infrastructure to mobile to AI, every layer rebuilt with scale, security, and speed in mind.

Dedicated PHP Laravel and React Development Team

Dedicated PHP Laravel and React Development Team

InApps IT staff augmentation engineers worked directly inside Perform Zone's existing codebase, modernizing legacy PHP components and rebuilding key interfaces in React.

Embedded, Long-Term Engineering Support

Rather than a fixed-scope project, InApps provided ongoing developer capacity that adapted to Perform Zone's priorities across the full 16-month engagement.

Incremental, Low-Risk Feature Delivery

New functionality was shipped incrementally on AWS infrastructure, reducing the risk of disrupting live recruitment workflows already in use by agencies and employers.

Scalable Foundation for Training Programs

The team helped extend the platform to support online and face-to-face training delivery, broadening Perform Zone's product beyond recruitment software alone.
