Case Study: CornerJob achieves faster blue-collar hiring with PubNub

CornerJob is Getting Collar Workers Hired Using PubNub

CornerJob is a location-based recruitment app that simplifies job search and hiring for blue-collar workers by letting employers post jobs and candidates apply with one click, with guaranteed responses within 24 hours. During development they identified real-time in-app chat as critical for quickly connecting employers and candidates but wanted to avoid the time, cost, and infrastructure burden of building a full-featured messaging system from scratch.

After testing several socket-based providers, CornerJob implemented PubNub — integrating reliable real-time chat (and experimenting with read receipts and typing indicators) in just over a week. PubNub removed the server and infrastructure headache, delivered consistent performance, and let the development team focus on matching candidates and offers rather than maintaining messaging systems.
