For ex- ample, Fraij and Várallyai [1] report that AI can automate repetitive tasks (such as resume screening) and provide unbiased, efficient analysis of candi- date data , researchgate.net . Mori et al. [2] highlight three ethical perspec- tives on AI in hiring: efficiency (utilitarian optimization), fairness (justice and bias concerns), and legal rights, indicating that AI can optimize recruit- ment while raising fairness issues , researchgate.net . Çelik Ertuğrul and Bitirim [3] review job recommender systems (JRS), noting that many JRSs use collaborative or content-based matching and evaluate results with metrics like precision and recall journalofbigdata.springeropen.com . These AI-driven matching algorithms are shown to identify suitable candidates more quickly than manual methods , researchgate.net , journalofbigdata.springeropen.com . Advanced AI tools have also been incorporated into recruiter–candidate in- teractions. For example, MYA Systems’ chatbot (MYA) uses speech-based AI to conduct virtual interviews, and platforms like JobPal and MyAlly guide candidates through the application process. Çelik and Bitirim [3] discuss such chatbots that leverage natural language processing to recom- mend relevant jobs and even perform initial screening. In summary, the literature suggests that AI-powered recommendation engines and conversa- tional agents can streamline hiring and improve match quality, provided that transparency and bias are carefully managed . researchgate.net journalofbig- 7 data.springeropen.com . 2.2 Resume Parsing and Document Processing Effective candidate matching depends on accurately understanding appli- cants’ resumes. Automated resume parsing uses natural language processing (NLP) and AI to extract structured information (education, skills, experi- ence) from CVs allmultidisciplinaryjournal.com . Deepa et al. [4] review resume parsing techniques, noting that modern systems employ machine learning and deep learning (such as named-entity recognition and Trans- former models) to improve over traditional rule-based methods allmultidisci- plinaryjournal.com . Resumes often arrive in various formats. In particular, scanned or image-based resumes require optical character recognition (OCR) to convert them into machine-readable text allmultidisciplinaryjournal.com . Deepa et al. also identify challenges in parsing, including inconsistent format- ting of resumes, multilingual text, and potential bias in AI models allmulti- disciplinaryjournal.com . To address these issues, platforms integrate secure document storage (e.g. cloud-based CV repositories) with robust OCR/NLP pipelines, which helps ensure data privacy and accuracy across formats. 2.3 Cross-Platform and Backend Technologies Modern recruitment platforms commonly use cross-platform frontends and scalable backends. Flutter is a leading UI framework that enables developers to build native apps for iOS, Android, web, and desktop from a single code- base [5]. Santhosh et al. emphasize that Flutter’s single-codebase approach saves development effort and maintains a consistent user experience across devices researchgate.net . Typical backend technology stacks include Node.js with the Express framework to implement RESTful APIs and WebSocket ser- vices. MongoDB is often used for data storage because its flexible document model suits user profiles and job postings. Authentication is commonly han- dled via JSON Web Tokens (JWT) for stateless, role-based access control. Real-time features such as live chat and presence updates are enabled by libraries like Socket.IO, and push notifications are delivered via services like Firebase Cloud Messaging. • Flutter: Cross-platform UI toolkit for building mobile and web apps 8 from one codebase researchgate.net . • Node.js/Express: Backend framework for creating scalable APIs and handling asynchronous I/O. • MongoDB: NoSQL database for storing user profiles, job posts, and other data. • Socket.IO: Library for real-time, bidirectional communication (e.g., live chat). • Firebase Cloud Messaging: Service for sending push notifications to user devices. These technologies, combined with AI-powered matching algorithms and NLP pipelines, form the basis of integrated talent platforms researchgate.net researchgate.net . They support the project’s goals by providing cross- platform accessibility, real-time communication, secure data handling, and intelligent processing of resumes and job requirements. 9 Chapter 3 Methodology This chapter presents the methodology followed in the design, development, and evaluation of the TalentLink platform.
