Scaling success: how Field Ready’s new platform drives growth and efficiency

Field Ready is on a mission to help young professionals land meaningful, successful careers. Since 2015, they’ve been connecting ambitious job seekers with top employers across Ghana, Mozambique, Nigeria, and the UK. But as they grew, so did their challenges. Managing thousands of candidates, running assessments, and delivering training manually wasn’t sustainable. They needed a smarter way to scale—without drowning in admin.

The challenge: scaling without the headaches

Field Ready’s process was effective but time-consuming. Each recruitment cycle started with shortlisting candidates from their growing database. Then came a multi-step application process: logic and reasoning tests, written assessments, and interviews. Those who made the cut went through comprehensive employability training before landing a job.

The problem? Everything was managed manually, making it tough to scale. They needed a system that could handle more candidates, streamline the process, and free up their team to focus on what they do best—helping people build careers.

The solution: a custom portal that does the heavy lifting

We designed and built a powerful custom portal that automates and simplifies Field Ready’s entire workflow. Now, candidates can register online, access valuable employability resources, and apply for programs—all in one place.

The system automatically profiles candidates, making it easier to find the right people for each role. Instead of endless spreadsheets, Field Ready can now search and filter candidates instantly. Assessments? Fully digitised. Training? Delivered through the platform, with both self-paced and instructor-led sessions.

And we didn’t stop there. We also revamped Field Ready’s public website to clearly communicate their mission and attract even more candidates and employers.
