CherryPicker

CherryPicker is a dual-sided hiring marketplace that connects recruiters, candidates, and companies through a curated, credit-based system. NITM led product, project, and full-stack development across mobile and web to revamp the platform for scale, polish, and performance.

Challenge

Poorly Structured Marketplace Flow

Recruiters couldn’t track candidate interest, companies lacked control over postings, and no one could manage or measure value effectively.

No Clear Revenue Model Implementation

The absence of a credit system meant companies had no structured incentive to participate, and admin users lacked basic controls like credit assignment or marketplace management.

Mobile App Readiness Blocked Deployment

The mobile app was initially unstable and unready for production release. We diagnosed key issues and launched the app successfully to both iOS and Android stores.

Scalability and Data Growth Risk

The backend was not prepared for increased data from users, companies, and job posts. We made architectural adjustments to ensure the platform could scale safely.

Product Vision Needed Refinement

The product roadmap lacked critical clarity. We partnered closely with CJ to refine priorities, surface edge cases, and align technical direction with launch goals, often playing the role of both guide and devil’s advocate.

Result

CherryPicker is now positioned to scale. With improved recruiter workflows, company profiles, and a working credit economy, the platform offers a more transparent, structured way to connect talent with opportunities, and monetize access along the way.

Solution

NITM led a phased overhaul of CherryPicker’s web and mobile platforms. We introduced credit-based access, full recruiter workflows, and modular UI improvements. From custom dashboards to company profile tools, every major user group was given a clear path to action—and monetization.

Our Insight

CherryPicker had all the right ingredients: great domain knowledge, a well-researched landscape, and a real market need. We helped them put the pieces together into a scalable, monetizable platform that works across devices and user roles
