Programming, operation and further development of the curated recruiting platform swarmscout.com for recruiting in personal networks
On behalf of opexxia GmbH, a consulting and implementation agency for complex operational projects in the retail sector, BITS GmbH, as IT development partner, implemented the Internet recruiting platform swarmscout.com and successfully put it into operation.

The recruiting platform swarmscout.com enables companies to access the personal network of swarmscouts and thus approach potential candidates in an honest, authentic and targeted manner. At the same time, the platform offers networkers access to exciting job postings and relevant key positions in order to place them in their personal network. The task of BITS was to program the Internet platform, operate it and further develop it in the future.
BITS as IT development partner
“Our idea was to rethink recruitment and develop a curated recruiting platform where we bring companies and networkers together. We have found our reliable digital IT development partner in BITS GmbH and have successfully implemented and launched the swarmscout.com platform. We look forward to expanding it further together in the future.”
Challenge
The opexxia GmbH team came to BITS with an already mature idea of the platform to be developed and the workflows to be mapped there, so the challenge was to digitally map this idea together and then implement it. For the implementation, it was important that the platform can be further expanded very individually in the future as well as connected to a variety of interfaces and APIs. At the same time, it should also be possible to add further services and products to the platform via an API in the future.
Realization
The platform was realized as an individual web application with an API-first approach. The backend was implemented using Springboot and Swagger, while the web UI was based on Angular. An upstream website based on WordPress, serves as an SEO-optimized landing page, so that the portal can be found well via search engines. The tasks of BITS included the IT conception and implementation of the backend, the database as well as the frontend. At the same time, BITS took over IT project management and IT quality assurance. The continuous operation of the platform is also ensured by BITS.
