Inspiration

Alexis' experience working a terribly tedious HR job. We set on to build our interpretation of these [Reddit posts](https://old.reddit.com/r/CrazyIdeas/comments/4fmtml/make_an_app_called_resume_roulette_people_submit/

https://www.reddit.com/r/recruitinghell/comments/189f08v/yes_ghost_job_postings_really_are_feeding_into_a/)

What it does

Don't buy ads, buy leads!

It's a platform for hiring organizations and job seekers that makes the most out of HR teams' work. Feedback on why a decision was made on an applicant is made visible to other interested recruiters and to the concerned applicant through an AI summarizing tool. It saves TIME for HR teams and applicants like getting feedback.

How we built it

It's a web project:

Frontend built with React/Next/TypeScript
Backend built with Flask/Python
Database from MongoDB
AI search powered by Cohere Rerank

Challenges we ran into

Syncing the database with the backend was harder than expected
We thought React made sense...

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Brainstorming was pretty slow at first, but it got better and better as we went. We learned how to make the most of our idea, and refined it so we could really address a specific issue and got to formulate our solution as simply as possible. We're proud that we are solving a real-life problem that we all have experienced first-hand on the job market. We are putting an end to ghost jobs!
