Devlumiq ATS is a complete, production-ready hiring platform: a recruitment dashboard, a public careers portal, a skills-assessment engine with auto-grading, and a full marketing website — all in one codebase, all backed by a real database. Built with Next.js 15, React 19, TypeScript, and Prisma ORM, and optimized for one-click deployment on Vercel.

Every module reads and writes to PostgreSQL — no mock data, no static JSON files. You get the source code, own it outright, and host it on your own infrastructure.

• Dashboard — live pipeline stats, recent candidates, and hiring metrics pulled straight from the database
• Candidates — full CRUD, filtering, pagination, CSV import, PDF/Excel export
• Kanban Pipeline — drag-and-drop stage board with real-time persistence for the whole team
• Jobs — create, edit, publish, and manage job postings
• Public Careers Portal — SEO-friendly job listings and a candidate-facing application flow
• Calendar & Interview Scheduling — FullCalendar-powered scheduling, stored in the database (external calendar sync optional via OAuth)
• Analytics & Reports — visual charts with PDF export
• Inbox & Messaging — threaded messages with a full API backend
• Authentication & RBAC — JWT session auth, bcrypt password hashing, email verification, role-based access control
• Multi-Tenant Architecture — organization-scoped data isolation throughout
• Marketing Website Included — Home, About, Features, Pricing, Contact, FAQ, Privacy, Terms
• 10 Languages — English, Spanish, Arabic (RTL), French, German, Portuguese, Hindi, Chinese, Japanese, Russian

Skills Assessments

• Build assessment templates with multiple-choice and coding questions
• Send candidates a secure, token-based test link — no account required to take it
• Live timer, autosave per question, and a proctoring layer (tab-switch / focus-loss tracking)
• Automatic grading on submit, with a plagiarism/similarity check across submissions
• Code questions run in a sandboxed execution environment against test cases

Premium Recruiting Tools

• Smart Search — advanced candidate filtering by skill, experience, tag, source, and pipeline stage
• Email Studio — templated outreach with variable substitution ({{candidateName}}, {{position}})
• Interview Scorecards — 5-criteria structured scoring (technical, communication, problem-solving, cultural fit, experience)
• Offer Letters — one-click generation with salary, benefits, and start date
• Team Collaboration — candidate comments with @mentions
• Resume Parser — PDF/DOCX extraction of skills, experience, education, and contact info
• Talent Pools — organize and re-engage past candidates
• Background Checks — real Checkr API integration
• Candidate GDPR Self-Service — candidates can request data export/erasure from their own portal
• DEI Tracking — voluntary, anonymized self-identification and reporting

AI Features (Optional — works with or without an API key)

Every AI-labelled feature has a working rule-based fallback. Add an OpenAI key and it upgrades automatically — nothing breaks if you don't.

• Resume Parsing — keyword extraction, or GPT-powered semantic extraction with a key
• Candidate Ranking — skill-match scoring, or AI scoring with reasoning and gap analysis
• Candidate Screening — rule-based verdict, or AI hiring recommendation
• Job Description Generator — structured template, or AI-written inclusive JD
• Email Drafting — pre-built templates, or AI-composed personalized copy

Typical cost with the default gpt-4o-mini model: $1–5/month for normal ATS usage.

Communication & Integrations

• Email (SMTP/Nodemailer) — fully working, bring your own SMTP credentials
• Twilio SMS — outbound and inbound SMS
• WhatsApp Business API — candidate messaging
• Chrome Extension — one-click LinkedIn profile import, included in the package
• Job Board Posting — live posting to LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor when you supply credentials
• Zapier / Webhooks — connect to thousands of other apps
• SSO / SAML — available as an opt-in enterprise add-on (password login remains the default)

Security

• JWT auth with httpOnly cookies + bcrypt password hashing
• Role-based access control and organization-scoped API routes
• Rate limiting on auth and public endpoints (in-memory by default, Redis-backed for multi-instance deployments)
• HMAC-verified webhooks, CSP headers, and origin-based CSRF protection
• Demo login is disabled in production by default

• Node.js 18+
• A PostgreSQL database (free tiers available on Neon, Supabase, or Railway)
• npm or yarn

1. Install dependencies: npm install
2. Copy the environment file: cp .env.example .env and fill in your database URL and secrets
3. Push the schema: npx prisma db push
4. Record migration history: npx prisma migrate deploy
5. Seed sample data (fresh installs only): npm run seed
6. Start the app: npm run dev, then open http://localhost:3000

A demo login is included so you can explore candidates, pipelines, assessments, and analytics immediately.

Deploying to Production (Vercel)

1. Create a Postgres database from your Vercel project's Storage tab (this auto-populates DATABASE_URL)
2. Deploy with vercel --prod, or connect your GitHub repo for git-based deploys
3. Run npx prisma migrate deploy after your first deploy
4. Run npm run seed once, only on a fresh database

Already using an earlier version? Always back up your database first, then run the included node scripts/upgrade-v1-to-v2.js — it creates new tables and backfills your existing data, and never deletes anything. Never run npm run seed or npm run db:reset against a live database.

Customizing Your Install

• Brand colors — edit tailwind.config.ts → theme.extend.colors.brand
• Logo — replace src/components/Logo.tsx
• Site name / SEO — edit metadata in src/app/layout.tsx
• Translations — edit src/lib/translations.ts to add or adjust any of the 10 locales
