01 · Overview

The Challenge

An independent tech recruiting firm was running candidate sourcing, scoring, and outreach across a set of disconnected tools. Triage was heavily manual, and because every step leaned on AI APIs, the cost of running the pipeline was unpredictable.

02 · Approach

What I Did

Designed and built an AI-powered applicant tracking system, solo. The workflow runs as a 6-phase pipeline that separates no-cost tasks from paid AI operations, so API spend stays controlled instead of accruing on every step.

Six or more serverless edge functions handle the core work: candidate sourcing, job-fit scoring, automated triage, AI-drafted outreach, and presentation generation. Contact-email extraction from GitHub and Hacker News profiles is automated as part of sourcing.
