ESDIAC TIP Talent Platform
Custom SaaS / Applicant portal / Evaluator workflow
Building a custom talent pipeline platform for applicant intake, scoring, and admin review.
ESDIAC TIP needed a structured platform for collecting talent applications, routing candidates through category-specific evaluation workflows, and managing shortlisted applicants from one admin pipeline.
Business problem
A manual recruiting process needed to become a structured application and evaluation system.
The client needed more than a basic application form. Applicants had to submit profile details, portfolio links, supporting files, and category-specific answers. Evaluators needed a place to review assigned applicants and submit scores. Admins needed source tracking, status control, audit visibility, and a pipeline for shortlisted talent.
Primary goals
- Create separate applicant, evaluator, and admin workflows.
- Support category-specific applications for Developers, AI Geniuses, Brand Masters, and Sales/Marketing Gurus.
- Add evaluator assignment, scoring, status tracking, and review visibility.
- Track recruiting agency/source links without overbuilding a full partner portal.
- Reduce friction around the ESDIAC mobile app download and connection step.
A multi-role SaaS platform for applications, reviews, scoring, and pipeline management.
Evaluator dashboards, assigned application queues, review screens, score submission, multi-evaluator logic, and review-status tracking.
Applicant management, evaluator assignment, filtering, cohort comparison, leaderboard visibility, audit logs, and status updates.
Shortlist management, pipeline status tracking, drag-and-drop candidate movement, and admin visibility into candidate progression.
Implementation details
Built around real workflow complexity, not a one-size-fits-all form.
The platform combines role-based access, responsive React screens, REST API endpoints, MongoDB records, authentication, file upload handling, agency/source attribution, audit logging, and staging-to-production deployment planning. The app download verification flow was designed as a best-effort browser/device flow because modern browsers do not expose a guaranteed mobile-app-install verification API.

Applicants apply, evaluators score, and admins manage the pipeline.
- Applicant creates an account, verifies access, and selects a talent category.
- Applicant completes profile details, category-specific questions, portfolio links, and supporting uploads.
- Applicant completes the ESDIAC app download/connect step with a device-aware fallback flow.
- Admin reviews applicants, tracks source attribution, and assigns evaluators.
- Evaluators review assigned submissions and submit category-based scores.
- Admins compare scores, update statuses, shortlist applicants, and move candidates through the talent pipeline.
ESDIAC gained a structured system for collecting, reviewing, scoring, and managing talent applications.
The final platform created a cleaner path for applicant intake, source tracking, evaluator review, scoring visibility, audit history, and shortlisted-candidate progression through a centralized talent pipeline.
