Rozgar Dhaba – Automating Employment and Skilling for Rural India

Client: Rozgar Dhaba
Website: rozgardhaba.com
Mobile App: Rozgar Dhaba App
Project Overview

Rozgar Dhaba is a social enterprise dedicated to connecting rural India with safe employment opportunities. They partner with companies like Flipkart, Nourishing Farms Café, Belrise Industries Ltd, and U Clean Laundry to fulfill blue-collar labor requirements, typically ranging from 500 to 5000 workers. Prior to digital transformation, their team handled the entire process manually, traveling to villages to gather candidate data, offer training, and support candidates with documentation and welfare schemes.

Rozgar Dhaba needed a robust digital solution to streamline these processes, enabling them to scale their efforts efficiently.


Challenges

  • Manual, time-intensive operations for gathering and processing candidate data.
  • Difficulty in managing large recruitment drives and training records for thousands of candidates.
  • Lack of a centralized platform for documentation, skilling progress, and job placements.
  • Need for real-time communication between Rozgar Dhaba’s team, candidates, and partner companies.

Our Solution: Mobile Application Development

To address these challenges, we developed a mobile application using Flutter, Node.js, and Firebase that automated the employment and skilling processes.

Technologies Used:

  • Flutter: For cross-platform mobile development.
  • Node.js: For backend services.
  • Firebase:
    • Authentication: For secure user login and access control.
    • Firestore (Database): For storing candidate data and skilling progress in real-time.
    • Hosting: For seamless app hosting and distribution.
    • Notifications: For sending real-time updates and job alerts to users.

Key Features:

  1. Candidate Registration: Allows users to easily enter job preferences, upload documents, and complete the registration process.
  2. Training Management: Tracks candidate training progress, ensuring they are qualified for job placements.
  3. Job Matching: Automatically matches candidates to job openings based on skills and qualifications.
  4. Welfare Scheme Support: Helps users upload necessary documents and apply for welfare benefits.
  5. Offline Mode: Supports data collection in remote areas with no connectivity, automatically syncing when online.
  6. Notifications: Real-time alerts for job opportunities, training updates, and document statuses, ensuring candidates stay informed.

Development Process

1. UI/UX Research We conducted user research to ensure that the app was intuitive and accessible for users in rural areas. Our research involved:

  • User Interviews: We spoke with Rozgar Dhaba’s team and candidates to understand their challenges and preferences.
  • Mapping User Journeys: We created detailed user journeys to ensure the app’s flow mirrored the offline processes but was much simpler to use.
  • Accessible Design: Given the app’s use in rural areas, we focused on creating a clean, simple interface with large, easy-to-read text and offline functionality.

2. Design Development Our design team created wireframes and prototypes, ensuring the app was user-friendly and visually aligned with Rozgar Dhaba’s branding. The design was optimized for:

  • Simplicity: Ensuring minimal steps to complete tasks like registration and document uploads.
  • Efficiency: A streamlined process for Rozgar Dhaba’s team to manage large volumes of candidate data.

3. Testing To ensure reliability, we tested the app across various environments:

  • Field Testing: Carried out in rural areas to ensure the app performed well even in low-bandwidth or offline scenarios.
  • Usability Testing: Gained feedback from Rozgar Dhaba’s internal teams and selected candidates to fine-tune the app.
  • Cross-Device Compatibility: Ensured smooth operation across different Android devices commonly used in rural areas.

4. Delivery

  • Beta Launch: Conducted a controlled release with key users to gather feedback and ensure smooth deployment.
  • Team Training: Provided Rozgar Dhaba’s team with detailed onboarding, allowing them to manage and scale operations independently.
  • Post-Launch Support: Offered continuous support to fix bugs and incorporate new features based on user feedback.

Results

1. End-to-End Automation: Rozgar Dhaba’s processes, from candidate registration to job placement, were digitized, reducing manual work and increasing efficiency.

2. Centralized Management: The app provided a single platform to store and access candidate data, manage training, and streamline job placements for thousands of candidates.

3. Scalability: Rozgar Dhaba successfully expanded its operations to reach more villages, handling larger recruitment drives without increasing operational costs.

4. Real-Time Engagement: Notifications and updates enabled candidates to stay informed about job opportunities and training progress, improving their engagement with Rozgar Dhaba’s services.

5. Employer Satisfaction: Corporate partners such as Flipkart and U Clean Laundry benefited from quicker, more efficient recruitment processes, boosting confidence in Rozgar Dhaba’s ability to meet large-scale labor demands.
