Hirely
Hirely is a full-stack job portal platform designed to streamline the hiring process for both candidates and recruiters. It allows users to securely register, explore job opportunities, apply using resume links, track application status, and manage their profiles. Administrators can efficiently create, update, and manage job postings while reviewing and controlling candidate applications through a dedicated dashboard. The platform emphasizes security, clarity, and scalability, making it suitable for modern recruitment workflows.
Problem
Many small organizations and early-stage recruiters struggle to find lightweight, affordable systems for posting jobs and managing applications. Candidates often face fragmented platforms, complex application flows, and a lack of transparency regarding application status. Existing solutions are frequently over-engineered or costly, making them unsuitable for simple, focused hiring needs.
Solution
Hirely addresses these challenges by providing a clean and secure recruitment platform with email-based OTP verification, JWT authentication, and role-based access control. Candidates can browse jobs, apply using resume links, and clearly track application status, while administrators can manage job listings and candidate applications from a centralized dashboard. The system is built using a React frontend and a Node.js + Express backend with MongoDB, ensuring scalability, data integrity, and a smooth user experience.
