Project description:
"I’m looking to get a complete Recruitment Management System (ATS) built from the ground up. My goal is to move from zero to a fully functional, polished web platform that works smoothly on both desktop and mobile. The system will support Admin, Employee, and Candidate roles, handle Excel imports, resume uploads, and include basic resume parsing with room for future expansion.
While I have a clear understanding of the core features, I’m open to your recommendations on the best framework, database structure, and scalable architecture to ensure long‑term stability and easy updates.
Because I haven’t locked in the visual direction yet, I’m happy to collaborate on layout, UI flow, and overall design. If you use tools like Figma, Adobe XD, or similar, I’d like to see early mockups so we can iterate quickly and align on the final look and feel.

Project Overview
I run a recruitment consultancy and maintain a database of 5+ lakh candidates in two formats:
- Excel sheets with fields like Name, Email, Mobile, City, State, Company, Designation, CTC, Notice Period, etc.
- Resume files (PDF/DOCX) from which I need to extract key information and auto‑populate candidate profiles.
The system should allow:

Admin Panel
- Manage employee accounts
- Bulk upload Excel files
- Bulk upload resumes
- View all candidates
- View logs and activity history

Employee Panel
- Search candidates (fast search for large datasets)
- Add/edit candidate details
- Upload resumes
- Add notes
- Track job changes
Candidate Panel
- Login with email + password
- Reset password using OTP via email
- Update personal and job details
- Upload resume

Resume Parsing
- Phase 1: Basic extraction (name, email, phone, skills, experience)
- Phase 2: Optional integration with external APIs (Affinda / Rchilli / Sovren)
Excel Import
- Upload Excel
- Validate data
- Insert/update candidate records
- Show success/error report

Preferred Tech Stack (Open to Suggestions)
- Backend: Laravel (PHP)
- Frontend: Blade + Bootstrap
- Database: MySQL
- Hosting: MilesWeb shared hosting (cPanel)
- Email/OTP: SMTP
- Resume Parsing: Internal script (Phase 1), API integration (Phase 2)
If you believe another stack is better for scalability, feel free to propose it.

Deliverables
• Fully functional ATS system deployed on my hosting
• Admin, Employee, and Candidate panels
• Resume upload + parsing workflow
• Excel import module
• Fast candidate search
• OTP-based password reset
• Responsive design tested across major browsers and screen sizes
• Clear documentation on how to manage users, upload data, and update system elements
• Handover of all source files (code, database schema, design assets)
