Inspiration
It’s hard for candidates to find and apply to relevant job openings on a company website, leading to companies missing out on potential applicants.
What it does
QuickApply, a virtual chat agent with interactive UI + powerful information retrieval techniques revolutionizing the job board
Job applicants love the conversational, to the point format of in-person recruiter conversations. So why not make online job applications the same!
It also takes a Resume, parses it, and automatically finds relevant roles
How we built it
Javascript (React) Python Flask MongoDB Tesseract OCR Statistical Measures: TF*IDF , cosine-similarity SendGrid
Challenges we ran into
The hardest part was by far PDF upload and the implementation of TF*IDF & Cosine-Similarity based search. I also ran out of time to host the project and polish the UI. Keeping the code clean while moving fast was also impossible...
Accomplishments that we're proud of
This was a really challenging project for me and I'm glad I got a working prototype down. It was great to see the resume parsing working and giving me super relevant roles
What we learned?
Coffee is a gift
What's next for QuickApply
Edge cases, Follow Up actions, quicker pdf parsing
