Staffsnap is an application for HR managers seeking to hire job candidates. By providing multiple useful features, it makes the tracking and hiring process much easier.
Given below are my contributions to the project.
● New Feature: Confirmation command
○ What it does: This command will ask the user to confirm their choice before clearing the app's data.
○ Justification: This feature prevents the HR person from accidentally deleting everything which will have drastic consequences.
○ Highlights: This enhancement was tricky to implement as it required the current state of the parser and the previous command inputed.
○ Credits: Myself
● New Feature: Duplicate handling
○ What it does: Duplicate interviews are handled by using a numerical identifier
○ Justification: There might be multiple interviews of the same type like technical, hence having automatic handling makes things easier.
○ Highlights: This feature can be extended and reused to handle duplicates for other fields.
