SYNCFLOW BACKEND

Overview

Traditionally, key processes like candidate recruitment have been laboriously managed manually, with many organizations still relying on spreadsheets for applicant tracking. Despite the prevalence of software solutions streamlining day-to-day activities, there's a significant gap in automating the recruitment process. This project stems from the critical need to simplify and structure the hiring process, addressing challenges for job seekers and employers alike. The primary objective is to develop a user-friendly interface that simplifies and streamlines hiring procedures, utilizing AI-driven tools for job seekers to construct efficient profiles. Recruiters would now be able to map the whole hiring process flow and its stages beforehand and they will be able to keep track of all the applicants within these stages. This will help them take data-driven decisions, reduce biases, and increase the applicant's overall confidence in the hiring process.
