Mountenna Recruitment
Job Board & Applicant Tracking System
A recruitment platform combining searchable vacancies, online applications and an internal applicant- tracking workflow for a UK staffing business.
- Laravel
- PHP
- MySQL
Outcome
Replaced ad-hoc CV collection and spreadsheet-style candidate tracking with a live job board and central ATS.
Overview
Mountenna Recruitment needed a single system for publishing vacancies, receiving candidate applications and managing candidate progress. The platform connects the public job-search experience directly with internal recruitment operations.
Problem
CVs and candidate updates were spread across email and manual records, making shortlisting and status communication harder to manage as recruitment activity increased.
My contribution
- Designed the core job, candidate and application data model.
- Built searchable job listings and the direct online application/CV upload flow.
- Developed the ATS dashboard for candidate tracking, categorisation and status updates.
- Implemented automated email notifications and secure document handling.
Technical approach
Used a single Laravel/PHP/MySQL application so public vacancy data and internal candidate workflows remain synchronised. Candidate applications create structured records that recruiters can review, update and communicate from one administrative environment.
Engineering highlights
- Public job board and internal ATS connected by one data model.
- Structured CV/application capture instead of email-only submissions.
- Automated application-status communications.
Key features
- Dynamic job board with search and filtering.
- Online CV upload and direct job applications.
- Central ATS dashboard.
- Candidate categorisation and status management.
- Automated email notifications.
- Secure candidate document storage.
Result
The live platform gives Mountenna Recruitment a consistent hiring workflow from vacancy publication through candidate application and internal tracking, replacing fragmented email-led administration.
