I recently added a valuable feature to my capstone Human Resource Management (HRM) application. Recruiters can now conveniently view and download candidate resumes directly from the job application interface. This functionality was essential for ensuring a smooth experience for recruiters, allowing them to conveniently access all the required candidate information in a centralized location.
I utilized Supabase for backend storage, Next.js 14 as the framework, React for the user interface, and TypeScript for maintaining type safety. The entire process, from retrieving the applicant’s information to downloading the resume, was managed in a single route, ensuring efficient and straightforward implementation.
With the help of Supabase’s object storage capabilities, I was able to securely store resumes and easily retrieve them whenever necessary. The integration was incredibly smooth, thanks to the powerful API and extensive file operation support provided by Supabase. In my Next.js route, I consolidated the logic for fetching applicant data and the associated resume into a single request. This approach optimized the number of API calls, improving the application’s performance and making it easier to maintain.
Using React on the frontend, I developed a user-friendly dashboard that allows recruiters to easily access and view applicant details, including their resumes, all in one place. Recruiters have the option to download the resume or view the entire application by simply clicking on a link. Using TypeScript greatly improved the application’s reliability, resulting in fewer bugs and making debugging much easier by allowing me to identify errors during development.
Through the integration of resume download and display in a single route, I optimized the recruitment process in my HRM app. This improvement is in line with my overarching objective of developing a platform that is more efficient and user-friendly for managing recruitment tasks. As I work on enhancing this feature, I am excited to make the user experience even better for recruiters.
Next week I will implement resume parsing to display the candidates skills and experience.
