Talent Profile Builder

The TalPods internal recruitment team faced challenges in creating optimal profiles for talents to present to potential company hiring managers, taking extensive hours to complete. The profile builder tool aimed to reduce this time to less than 15 minutes. Our team developed the profile page using a structured data model and a design validated through testing. In the second sprint, the team was divided to create a dashboard tool that enables profile creation using ChatGPT APIs. As a result, the system now allows profile creation in less than 4 minutes.
