During my internship at HireQuotient from January 2025 to April 2025, I undertook several key projects aimed at developing advanced features, expanding system integrations, and enhancing client-specific platforms. My role as a full-stack contributor focused on new feature development, integration, and client-driven enhancements, particularly in areas such as AI, real-time notifications, and ATS integrations. This presentation will provide an overview of the projects I worked on, the methodologies employed, and the impact of these contributions on the overall platform.
Introduction of Projects Undertaken
The primary objective was to develop advanced features and expand system integrations
The scope included AI Agent (Quinn V1/V2), ATS integrations (Unified.to), real-time notifications, and assessment platform enhancements
The importance of these projects lies in driving sourcing automation, enhancing platform interoperability, and improving user engagement
My role involved full-stack contributions with a focus on new feature development, integration, and client-driven enhancements
AI Agent (Quinn V1 & V2)
Developed an AI sourcing agent named "Quinn" using LLMs for conversational requirement gathering
Key features included an interactive chatbot UI, workflow design, and API integration for LLM functions
V2 enhancements included multi-step follow-ups, contextual CTAs, and a modular suggestion manager
The impact was significant automation of sourcing tasks and enhanced recruiter efficiency
ATS Integration (Unified.to Focus)
Expanded platform connectivity by integrating multiple Applicant Tracking Systems using Unified.to
Key contributions included designing PULL flow, implementing authorization flow, and developing core PUSH & PULL logic
Added support for new ATS systems like UKG Pro and TrackerRMS, and enhanced existing integrations like Lever
The impact was increased platform interoperability and streamlined client workflows
Real-Time Notifications System
Designed and implemented a platform-wide system using WebSockets (Socket.IO) for instant user notifications
Key contributions included full implementation of WebSocket, frontend UI redesign, and state management using React Context API
Integrated with backend events and other WebSocket features, handling Slack character limits
The impact was a modernized user experience and improved communication speed
Assessment Platform Enhancements (BCG Focus)
Continuous improvements and critical fixes focused on the Assessment Platform for the BCG client
Key contributions included multi-phase OTP flow, auto video record/submit feature, and performance optimization
Enhanced admin features and UI/UX improvements, including search and pagination for questions
The impact was enhanced security and reliability for the BCG client and improved admin efficiency
Other Key Contributions
