Comprehensive Management API for Vacancies and Background Checks – mitrabajo API
Robust and scalable API developed with Flask, Gunicorn, Nginx, SQLAlchemy, Docker, and PostgreSQL for managing vacancies, candidates, and background checks.
The Comprehensive Management API for Vacancies and Background Checks (mitrabajo API) is a robust and scalable solution designed to simplify and optimize the management of vacancies, candidate administration, and background checks. Developed using leading technologies such as Flask, Gunicorn, Nginx, SQLAlchemy, Docker, and PostgreSQL, this API meets the highest standards of security, performance, and reproducibility, making it an ideal product for demanding production environments.
This solution is currently in operation for two of the most important temporary employment companies in Colombia, ensuring comprehensive and efficient management in every selection and verification process.
Key features include:
-
Generation and Retrieval of Background Reports:
The API allows generating reports in PDF, HTML, or JSON formats, validating that the candidate exists and has been previously verified. Additionally, if requested, it uploads the generated PDF file to AWS S3 and updates the corresponding records. -
Status Update and Batch Processing:
Through a unified endpoint, it is possible to execute verification and report generation operations in batch, optimizing the management of multiple candidates simultaneously. -
Retrieval of the Latest Report:
The API can retrieve the latest generated PDF report, providing a pre-signed URL valid for 1 hour for secure downloads.
