A Finland-based startup sought a highly skilled development team with an exceptional command of English, robust communication skills, and comprehensive experience in marketplace and machine learning development. Their main goal was to meet objectives in order to secure a new round of investment.
Fuzu initially debuted as a B2C platform, matching job seekers with employers using ML-powered recommendation algorithms. This concept quickly gained popularity, presenting chances for the platform to expand into new regions.
However, to achieve this growth, the platform required additional features and solutions for various performance and usability issues.
A collaboration with Syndicode has played a pivotal role in enhancing the platform’s design and functionality, streamlining access to meaningful career opportunities, and helping employers attract the right talent.

The original coding of Fuzu’s platform lacked the necessary functionality to support the addition of new features. Updating and maintaining the system was a complex task, aggravated by significant technical debt.
Moreover, to meet the evolving needs of its audience, the platform’s user experience and interface design required optimization. Before Fuzu could expand into new market segments, the design needed improvements to support new functionalities and to ensure compatibility with mobile devices.
Before Syndicode stepped in, Fuzu’s platform was limited in essential functions and lacked key features necessary for a comprehensive job search and career development service. Our team greatly expanded the platform’s abilities, allowing it to offer a more comprehensive service to both job seekers and employers.
Initially, the platform’s setup did not support scalability or deliver the expected user experience due to slow loading times and limited visibility on search engines. This setup struggled to accommodate expansion into new markets or handle an increase in the user base.
Our dedicated team has introduced a variety of new features to the Fuzu platform, including:
Facing the challenge of incorporating a vast array of new features, addressing numerous issues in the original code, and dealing with an outdated technology stack, the Syndicode team opted for a complete overhaul of the platform’s code.
This approach allowed us to establish a clean, optimized architecture designed for the seamless addition of new features and more suited to the current and future needs of the business.
To support Fuzu’s vision of expanding the platform’s features, including white-label solutions and custom page creation tools, Syndicode’s designers reinvented the website’s appearance and made it mobile-friendly. They skillfully blended modern design with a layout tailored to the preferences of the typical African user.
Moreover, our team developed a feature that allows the platform to offer a customized look, aligning with the user’s specific goals, whether for job searching or training.
Through strategic architectural decisions, optimization efforts, and a strict testing routine, our team has achieved optimal website loading speeds and stable, crash-free performance. Additionally, we’ve enhanced SEO by adhering to top web security practices, organizing URLs logically, using semantic page elements, and incorporating structured data.

Their engineers strengthened Fuzu’s team and enabled the service to scale and work smoothly for half a million job seekers and employers.
