Job Seeker & Employer Pages Workflow

This project only covers the frontend side — meaning everything you see and interact with — while both the Job Seeker and Employer workflows are simulated using mock/dummy data instead of a real backend or database.

So while the project is titled and structured like a full-stack application, what's actually built and shown here is the complete UI and user experience layer, not a live, data-connected system.

This scope was chosen deliberately: building a real ATS backend (authentication, a database, file storage for resumes, status-sync APIs) is a substantial project on its own, and the actual learning goal here is mastering how the frontend of such a system is structured — component architecture, shared state, and interactive UI logic — so keeping the focus on the frontend lets that goal get the depth it deserves instead of being spread thin across two separate builds.

Job Seeker Page:

The candidate browses through job cards showing the title, company, location, salary, and job type. Clicking "Job Description" expands the card to reveal the full description.

Selecting "Apply Now" opens a popup where they fill in their details and submit an application (simulated with local state; would connect to a database in the production version). Once submitted, it instantly appears in their own "My Applications" tab with an "Applied" status.
