Website Development

Hey! Here is the detailed scope of work for the custom Job Portal MVP we want to build. It's a full-stack web application designed for automated application routing. Please share this breakdown with your developers in India/Pakistan so they understand the exact technical scope for their quote: Core System Architecture Frontend: Built with React 18 and Tailwind CSS for a fully responsive mobile/desktop design. Backend: Node.js with Express.js. Database: PostgreSQL hosted via Supabase, using Prisma ORM. Auth System: Secure JWT authentication with access tokens in memory plus refresh tokens in httpOnly cookies, with separate login endpoints for Candidates and Admins. Candidate Module Profile Creation: Users can register and fill out personal info like name, mobile, location and professional info like designation, experience, skills, education, summary. Resume Management: Secure upload system supporting PDF, DOC, and DOCX formats up to 5MB. Files must be validated on both frontend and backend and stored securely in a Supabase cloud bucket. Job Search and Filters: A clean job listing page with a debounced search bar and filters for location, industry, and experience levels. Candidate Dashboard: A private area where candidates can track their applied jobs and see their application status as Applied, Under Review, Selected, or Rejected. Automated Apply Workflow The One-Click Trigger: When a logged-in candidate with a complete profile clicks Apply Now, the system instantly creates a database record. Asynchronous Email Routing: The backend must automatically package the candidate’s full profile details, fetch their resume from cloud storage as a live attachment, and instantly email it to the specific HR contact email assigned to that individual job listing via the Resend API. Admin Module Dashboard Metrics: Real-time counters showing total jobs, active and inactive job listings, total registered candidates, and total applications received. Job Management: Full CRUD capabilities to Create, Read, Update. Crucially, deleting a job must be a Soft Delete only by setting is_deleted to true to preserve historical application data. Application Tracker: A searchable, filterable table to view all candidate applications, download resumes via secure 1-hour expiring signed URLs, update application statuses which triggers an automatic email notification to the candidate, and export full data sets to a CSV or Excel sheet. Project Requirements and Infrastructure Cost Control Zero Launch Costs: The architecture must be configured to deploy entirely on the Free Tiers of Vercel for Frontend, Render for Backend, Supabase for Database and Storage, and Resend for Email API. Code Ownership: All development must be pushed to a Private GitHub Repository owned by us. Pricing Request: We need a fixed-price quote for the entire scope, broken down into milestone payments such as Setup, Functional Backend, Frontend Integration, and Deployment.
