Show HN: A job application tracker with company reviews, recruiter autoresponder
Hey folks. Rolepad is a product born out of my dissatisfaction with hiring processes - both as a candidate and as a hiring manager. Processes that are non-transparent, inefficient, and full of frustration for both sides. This early iteration has focused on the application tracking aspects with a few extra goodies.<p>These days it is common to apply to dozens of positions (some users track over a hundred opportunities). Without a record-keeping system, it can quickly become an unmanageable mess. Even the better-organized among us often end up juggling spreadsheets, emails, and various notes. Rolepad was built to keep this data (company facts, role details, interview stages, contact info, freeform notes, follow-up actions, and more) in one place. Some of the other neat additions:<p>- Forward emails to save@rolepad.com to save them as notes connected to specific opportunities. Forward recruiter messages to no@rolepad.com to have the system automatically reply with a decline response.<p>- Generate shareable Sankey charts of your progress like this: <a href="https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://app.rolepad.com/metrics/6QEbaktB7bqR8glhuYR32</a><p>- Submit anonymous reviews and insights about application/interview/offer processes at a company . This is new and there aren’t great examples to share yet (<a href="https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/companies/brilliant.org</a> is an early glimpse), and I didn’t want to create fake data as a matter of principle.<p>Oh yeah, and it’s totally free :) Creating an account is passwordless and takes seconds, but if you want to kick the tires even faster, I created test credentials for this occasion:<p><pre><code> username: test@rolepad.com
password: hntest
</code></pre>
With this release, I am also starting conversations with employers (<a href="https://rolepad.com/employers" rel="nofollow noreferrer">https://rolepad.com/employers</a>). A unified platform for candidates and employers can significantly reduce frustration for both in ways that email cannot. I should note that any solutions here have privacy implications and will require an exceedingly thoughtful execution.<p>And now for the tech stack. The main application uses React with Tailwind on the frontend, C# on the backend, hosted in AWS (App Runner, Lambda, RDS Postgres, SES), with auth provided by Google Firebase, and CI/CD via GitHub Actions. The home page is actually an SSR (server-side rendered) application built with vite-plugin-ssr (now vike) and hosted in a Cloudflare Worker that hits the AWS-hosted API. This is basically a best-of-all-worlds SSR configuration - very fast, zero cold start (!), and essentially free.<p>Any and all feedback is sincerely appreciated!
