Experience
Human Resource CRM
A recruiter's tool that allows users to handle multiple company positions with the built-in Django and React.
I played the key role in developing this CRM that provides a Chrome extension to parse and feed the talent pool. With the candidate selected for a position, the recruiter can schedule interviews with the different platform users. The candidate can choose the time according to the configured calendar availability and the user's configuration.
The tool provides a configurable interface to:
• handle different flows for different positions,
• give secret feedback to maintain the interviewers' objectivity while rating the user during the process,
• centralize the communication to provide cohesive feedback,
• communicate about the candidates' state if a position is closed or paused, the candidate is rejected, or the process is slowed down to provide a better experience for everyone, and
• maintain candidate pools for future references.
