Client Background

The internal HR team was managing candidate data, interview schedules, and feedback through spreadsheets and emails. As hiring needs grew, this approach became inefficient, unstructured, and difficult to scale.

The organization explored SaaS solutions, but faced limitations in customization and higher recurring costs.

Business Challenges

Manual candidate tracking using Excel sheets and email communication.
Lack of centralized system for managing recruitment workflows.
Difficulty in scheduling and tracking interviews efficiently.
Unstructured feedback collection and evaluation process.
High cost and limited flexibility of third-party SaaS recruitment tools.
Traditional development timeline of 3–4 months for building a custom solution.

Our Solution

We leveraged AI-assisted development using Cursor to design and build a fully functional Recruitment Portal within a single day.

The platform centralizes the entire recruitment lifecycle — from candidate tracking to interview management and feedback — providing a scalable and structured system tailored to internal needs.

This approach significantly reduced development time while maintaining strong architectural foundations.
