Problem

Candidates and recruiters live in different funnels. Generic boards bury good matches under noise and slow first-contact loops.

Solution

A MERN job platform with role-aware matching, faster apply flows, and recruiter tooling that prioritises signal over volume.

Approach

Built as a learning-by-shipping project with the classic MERN stack. Match scores are computed on the server from role, skills, and seniority overlap. Recruiter and candidate dashboards share a base layout but diverge on permissions enforced at the API layer — not the UI.

Stack

Features

• Role-aware candidate matching
• Recruiter dashboard
• Saved searches & alerts
• Application tracking

What landed in production

• Authz enforced at the API layer (UI is never the trust boundary)
• Role-aware matching algorithm with explainable scores
• Saved searches + alerts for active candidates
