Your complete hiring platform

Track applicants, screen with AI, test skills, create careers page, all in one place to streamline your recruitment lifecycle with absolute precision.

Project Overview

waytohire is an applicant tracking system for every company, built and run by Palapa. It takes a recruitment from the job post to the hire in one place: an AI-written job offer, a branded careers page, a stage-by-stage pipeline, AI screening of every CV, skill tests, team roles and analytics, with GDPR tooling underneath all of it.

Goal

Cut screening from days to minutes without making candidates pay for it. Recruiters get one product for the whole flow instead of a job board, a spreadsheet, a test tool and a mailbox; candidates get a careers page and an apply form they actually want to use.

Problem & Solution

Screening a stack of CVs takes days
AI reads every CV in seconds and scores it 0–100% against the offer, with the good-fit points and red flags spelled out.
A CV proves nothing
Over 30 ready-made 10–15 minute skill tests, graded automatically, with cheating detection built in.
No careers page, no applications
A branded careers page and apply form in minutes, no code, with every application landing in one pipeline.
Hiring managers are kept in the dark
Admin, recruiter and hiring manager roles, with access scoped to the recruitments each person owns.
Nobody knows which channel works
UTM links per opening and a conversion funnel from page view to application, without collecting personal data.

How it works

1
Create and publish a job offer
The AI job post generator drafts the offer in a conversation, section by section. Publish it and start receiving candidates right away.
2
Collect candidates
A professional careers page and an apply form candidates like to use. Every application flows into one place.
3
AI analyzes and evaluates
Each CV gets a 0–100% score showing how well the candidate fits the offer, with a detailed justification behind every number.
4
Send skill tests
Short tests that verify real abilities, chosen from over 30 ready-made assessments covering technical and soft skills, or built from scratch.
5
Continue with the best
Focus on the candidates who match the requirements and proved it, with screening time cut by around 80%.

Everything you need to hire smarter

From job posting to offer, one platform to manage it all. Nine features that ship as one product, not nine tools with nine logins.

01

AI screening

Every CV analysed in seconds with a 0–100% score, explained: skills, experience gaps and red flags, so the recruiter checks the reasoning instead of trusting a number.

02

Applicant tracking

The whole pipeline in one clear, stage-by-stage view, from application to hire.

03

Careers page

A branded page at waytohire.ai/careers/your-company, live in minutes, with custom apply forms.

04

Skill tests

Over 30 ready-made assessments and a custom builder. Auto-graded, with cheating detection.

05

Team & collaboration

Admin, recruiter and hiring manager roles, each seeing exactly the recruitments they own.

06

Recruitment stages

Custom stages with company defaults, and actions that fire when a candidate moves: a skill test goes out, an email is sent, a calendar link appears.

07

AI job generator

Job descriptions written in a conversation and structured into responsibilities, requirements, benefits and tech stack, in English or Polish.

08

Analytics & campaign tracking

Where candidates come from, conversion per channel and which campaigns deliver, with UTM links and privacy-first tracking.

09

Public API

Job listings over REST with API keys and automatic UTM tagging, so a company can build a fully custom careers page on its own website.

Built with privacy in mind GDPR

Consent collection and audit trail

Explicit candidate consent captured and timestamped at every application stage, automatically.

Configurable retention periods

Custom rules for scrubbing data, with automated tracking and expiry notifications for the HR team.

DSAR request management

Single-click fulfilment of data subject access requests, inside the regulatory response window.

DPO and compliance settings

One place for the Data Protection Officer to manage privacy permissions across the company.

Under the hood

A Django backend on PostgreSQL, an Nx monorepo of Next.js apps in front of it, OpenAI for the screening and Stripe for the billing.

OpenAIDjango

An AI screening pipeline that explains itself

Each CV is read against the offer's requirements and returned as a 0–100% score with good-fit points and red flags, so a recruiter can check the reasoning instead of trusting a number.

One backend, five apps

A Django REST API on PostgreSQL serves an Nx monorepo of Next.js apps: recruiter, applicant, job board, marketing site and admin, sharing one UI library and one API client.

DjangoPostgreSQL

GDPR in the data model, not in a policy

Consent records, retention rules, access requests and DPO settings are first-class objects, so compliance is something the product does rather than something the customer promises.

StripeDjango REST Framework

Billing and a public careers API

Stripe handles subscriptions and plan limits. A public REST API with API keys and automatic UTM tagging lets a company render its own careers page from live data.

Result

waytohire is live at waytohire.ai as an ATS for every company. A recruitment runs from an AI-written job offer, through a branded careers page and a stage-by-stage pipeline, to AI-scored CVs, skill tests and a hire, with the team's roles, campaign analytics and GDPR tooling in the same product. Screening that took days now takes minutes, and candidates get an apply flow they do not mind using. That is the kind of product work we do at Palapa.
