My team and I developed a solution to improve the recruitment processes of the UK-based consultancy gleeds.
This project was done in response to a hackathon challenge set by the company at the Project: Hack 19 event. The event took place at the Etihad Stadium in Manchester, UK in June 2023.
Given the limited timeframe, we decided to use Platform-as-a-Service products (in our case Supabase) and Software-as-a-Service products (e.g. Retool) to speed up development and deliver a minimum viable product.
Supabase was used for storing and processing the data needed for our solution, using their PostgreSQL database and edge functions. Data write operations would sometimes trigger API requests to OpenAI's GPT-3 API to generate natural language insights from user-generated data.
To create a user interface, we used Retool, a low-code tool which allows for quickly building web applications that connect to data.
By using a language model, the platform was able to extract keywords regarding the applicant's relevant skills, based on the interviewers' notes. This information is searchable— when a recruiter creates a new job listing, the platform suggests suitable candidates based on the required skills.
