Build an applicant tracking system (ATS)—
coding optional
This starter kit allows recruiters to manage job openings and prospective employee candidates. It uses four main data tables: Skills, Candidates, Companies, and Positions. It also has two helper tables to create many-to-many relationships between the main tables. The application you build is ready to use for basic needs and is also easily extended to enable customized scenarios.
Easily match applicants to open positions
The Open Positions screen has a data grid of job positions, along with details about the currently selected position and a list of candidates who match the salary conditions of the currently selected position. This is the default screen. Clicking on a candidate’s name will show the details for that candidate, including contact information, salary requirements, and skills. To create a new open position, simply open the Create New Position screen and enter the details.
Filter candidates by skill and experience
The View Skills screen has a data grid of skills, alongside a data grid that shows candidates who possess the currently selected skill. It also lists the candidates’ experience and proficiency with regard to the selected skill, so that you can target the most qualified candidate. To create a new skill, click the plus symbol and enter a description in the Add New Skill popup.
View and edit candidates and companies
The View Candidates screen has a data grid of candidates who have been entered into the application. Clicking a candidate’s name will bring up the Candidate Details screen. To create a new candidate, the recruiter simply needs to click the Create New Candidate button and open the Create New Candidate screen. Similarly, the View Companies screen shows a data grid of companies that currently have or have had positions to be filled. To create a new company, the recruiter simply needs to click the Create New Company button in the Companies grid and enter details in the Create New Company screen.
