LinkedIn-Style Recruiting Site Build -- 2

Job ID: 40181409

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I need a full-scale employment platform that blends the social networking feel of LinkedIn with the power of LinkedIn Recruiter. The site has to let companies source, engage and directly hire talent while giving job seekers an easy way to showcase their profiles, apply, and track opportunities.

Core experience
I want separate yet connected workspaces for candidates and corporate talent teams. Candidates create rich profiles, upload résumés, and follow companies. Recruiters should be able to push vacancies live in minutes, search a résumé database with advanced filters, and move applicants through a Kanban-style pipeline with built-in analytics on time-to-hire and source quality.

Key expectations
• Modern, responsive web app built with a robust back-end (Node, Django or comparable) and a clean React / Vue / Angular front-end.
• Secure sign-up via email/password plus optional social auth—especially LinkedIn—to lower friction.
• Real-time messaging and notifications so companies can reach out and candidates can respond without leaving the platform.
• Role-based dashboards: candidate, recruiter and super-admin.
• Exportable reports covering applicant flow, diversity metrics and campaign ROI.
• Scalable database architecture prepared for large-volume profile and job data.
• Clear documentation and a hand-off session so my in-house team can take over future maintenance.

Acceptance criteria
1. A user can register, complete a profile and apply to an open role in under five minutes.
2. A recruiter can create a job post, set screening questions, publish it and receive the first application—all within one guided wizard.
3. Admin analytics board accurately reflects live data (no more than 60-second delay).
4. Platform passes an independent security audit for OWASP Top 10.
5. Codebase installs locally with a single command and deploys to staging via CI/CD.

If you have built applicant-tracking systems, social networks, or SaaS dashboards, your experience will be invaluable. Please include links to past work that prove it, outline your proposed tech stack, and estimate a realistic timeline to MVP.
