The problem

Hospitality businesses face high turnover and last-minute staffing gaps, while applicants struggle to find flexible work across fragmented platforms.

The solution

A unified marketplace where employers post roles, filter applicants, message and schedule interviews, while applicants discover and apply in bulk — backed by a Django REST API with async processing.

Engineering notes

Lesson for similar HR Tech builds: design for real-time messaging across high user volume and employer–applicant matching by role & availability up front — these are the parts that are expensive to retrofit once the feature list grows.
