01. Project Overview
Purpose
Job Application Tracker is a comprehensive web application designed to help job seekers manage their application process efficiently. It combines traditional application tracking with cutting-edge AI technology to provide intelligent CV analysis, ATS scoring, and personalized improvement recommendations.
Challenge
Job seekers often struggle to keep track of multiple applications and understand how their CVs perform against Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS). The challenge was to create a system that not only manages applications but also provides actionable insights to improve application success rates using AI analysis across multiple dimensions.
Solution
Built a modern full-stack Laravel application using Livewire 3 and Volt for reactive UI components, integrated with multiple AI providers (Claude, OpenAI, Gemini) for comprehensive CV analysis. Implemented an 8-dimensional ATS scoring system with caching for performance, secure document management for PDF uploads, and real-time application status tracking.
Active Development
This project is currently under active development. New features are being added regularly, and the application is being continuously improved based on real-world usage and feedback.
