Talently - App Developer In One Click!

LONDON - March 18, 2025 - PRLog -- This story covers why and how I created a hiring Chrome extension for myself, finally.

My Pain Points (Driving Me Nuts!)

As someone connected to hiring, I've dealt with so many frustrations over the years that I had to do something about it. Here's what got under my skin:

1. Posting a job ad takes time.
2. The costs of posting are a nasty surprise.
3. AI-tweaked resumes are killing me.
4. Poorly automated matching process / metrics (incl. skill relevancy and gaps).

Finding Trustworthy Dev Profiles

• I took Upstaff.com (Hire Developers App DB API) as a first source of data, and plan to extend more.  A dataset of about 3K developer profiles with project histories, work records, and reviews was OK to start with. It's not that large from bigdata perspective, but covers most of typical job request on the other hand. That became the backbone for talently. I'm thinking about integrating other sources to expand it, too. At the moment, If I can't find a relevant candidate, I can always reach out to upstaff.com for help—they'll step in and find more options.

Tech Stack and why a Chrome Extension

• Front-End: Manifest V3, JavaScript, Vue.js (Vue 3), Google API, SCSS, Vuetify, Vite
• Back-End: Python/Django, ElasticSearch.

Besides, my team's been involved in creating all sorts of Chrome Extensions — from analytical tools for research fund employees, CRM (Salesforce and HubSpot), to traffic analyzers similar to Ahrefs and SimilarWeb (though I think there was something there too).

The Cool Part: Zero Efforts

Of course it's not ideal and roadmap will include we weeks at least. But wha I already like it it's dead simple. You don't even need your own job description to try.

• Any project description or page, and you'll get recommendations for candidates right away in your browser.  
• It's a real chance to skip the long registrations, fees, verifications, and AI noise I've been dealing with every day.

I hope you can give feedback on whether you dint it useful for you or what could be better. It's available in GoogleWebStore (https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/talently-app-dev...) and I also published on Upstaff.com free tools. (https://upstaff.com/tools/talently-app-developer-in-one-c...)
