How to Build Lever Style App on Webflow, Wized, and Xano

Creating a recruiting and applicant tracking system similar to Lever allows businesses to streamline hiring processes. With Webflow for a clean UI, Wized for functionality, and Xano as the backend, you can build a platform that helps recruiters manage candidate pipelines, schedule interviews, and track hiring stages.

In this guide, I’ll walk you through the steps to bring your vision for Lever Style App to life using Webflow, Wized, and Xano.

User Flow and Project Scope

To kick things off, we need to set a clear scope and requirements. I recommend creating a user flow that maps out the main app functions and core business logic. This way, we’re clear on the size and complexity of the project from the start.
After defining the flow, we’ll compile everything into a Product Requirements Document (PRD). This document will outline what’s included in the first version and what isn’t, so we stay aligned and keep things moving smoothly.

Typical users for your Lever Style App

Recruiters: Track candidates and manage job postings.
Hiring Managers: Review candidates and provide feedback.
Candidates: Apply to positions and track application status.

To ensure the app functions well, we’ll include these essential flows:

Candidate Tracking: Recruiters monitor candidate progress through the hiring stages.
Interview Scheduling: Schedules interviews and tracks feedback.

Client App (If Applicable)

Candidate Portal: Allows candidates to view application status, update profiles, and receive notifications.
Job Board: Displays available positions for applicants.

Intranet (Internal App for Managing Flows)

Admin Dashboard: Manages job listings, user access, and candidate data.
Recruitment Analytics: Tracks hiring progress and candidate sources.

Database Structure on Xano

To build an efficient and scalable Lever Style App, we’ll design a flexible database structure on Xano. Even if not all features are in the initial version, this structure will make it easier to expand and adapt as the app grows.

UX & UI Design

Once we’re clear on the scope and user flows, we’ll start with wireframes to visualize how each flow looks in the app. After the wireframes are approved, we’ll select a design direction and build high-fidelity visuals. By leveraging Webflow’s capabilities, we’re not limited in creating interfaces that look fantastic in production.

Frontend Development in Webflow

Webflow gives us a powerful platform for frontend development, allowing us to achieve pixel-perfect design and faster results compared to traditional development methods. Using Webflow’s visual editor for HTML and CSS, we’ll speed up the build process while maintaining flexibility.

API and Logic Creation in Xano

Once the planning is complete, or even alongside frontend development, we’ll build the app’s core logic in Xano. Here, we’ll create the APIs to connect the backend with the frontend securely. Xano’s visual interface supports everything from database management to API creation and server-side logic, so we can handle complex workflows as needed.

Connect Frontend and Backend with Wized

Wized allows us to bring all the business logic, workflows, and APIs created in Xano into the Webflow frontend. Wized supports both visual JavaScript development and custom code if needed, giving us flexibility to include standard JavaScript libraries and meet specific requirements.

Quality Assurance Process

Quality assurance is essential to make sure everything works perfectly before launch. Our team will do thorough testing, and I encourage you to participate in the review as well. This way, we can ensure the app meets your expectations and provides a smooth experience for your users.

Conclusion

Creating Lever Style App involves more than just putting features together—it’s about building something scalable, efficient, and secure. By following this structured development process and using tools like Webflow, Wized, and Xano, we’ll have a strong foundation. Working with experienced professionals and prioritizing QA will ensure the app’s success.
