WordPress Website Revamp & Secure Graduate Recruitment Portal (with AI & Anonymization)

Job Title: WordPress Website Revamp & Secure Graduate Recruitment Portal (with AI & Anonymization) Project Overview We are an educational institution looking for an expert Full-Stack WordPress Developer to completely revamp our existing WordPress website and build an integrated, secure, and fully anonymized Graduate Recruitment Portal. This platform will allow three distinct user types—**Graduates, Employers, and Recruitment Agencies**—to interact, match, and communicate strictly within our secure ecosystem without exposing personal contact details. ⚠️ MANDATORY PROPOSAL REQUIREMENT (BOT FILTER) To ensure you have actually read this scope and are not an automated bot, you must start your proposal by answering this exact technical question based on your past experience: -How did you prevent users from bypassing the internal messaging system to share direct contact details in a past project you built? What specific technical workflows, data filtering, or validation methods did you use? -Proposals with generic template responses that ignore this question will be immediately deleted. Core Project Modules 1. Website Redesign & Modernization Theme Revamp: Rebuild or migrate our public pages to a lightweight, highly optimized WordPress theme framework (Gutenberg/FSE or a clean page-builder setup). Performance: Achieve 90+ scores on Google PageSpeed Insights through clean query handling, proper caching, and optimized asset delivery. 2. Multi-Role Gated Recruitment Portal You will need to construct custom workflows and front-end dashboards for three distinct user roles (bypassing default /wp-login.php): Graduates (graduate): Access to an AI profile builder, resume upload facility, an internal job board, and an application tracking dashboard. Employers (employer): Front-end job posting dashboard (Custom Post Type), an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) to manage applicants, and a filtered talent search directory. Requires manual admin approval upon registration. Recruitment Agencies (recruitment_agency): Specialized agency dashboard with advanced multi-filter talent searches, pipeline management tools, and shortlist folders. 3. AI-Powered Profile Tools -AI Resume Parser: Graduates can upload a CV (PDF/Word). The system must securely send this to an LLM API (e.g., OpenAI JSON mode) to parse data and automatically populate their WordPress profile fields. Using free Ai Api LLM. -AI Profile Enhancer:An in-platform button allowing graduates to use AI to clean up and professionalize their profile text descriptions. -Obfuscated Public Share Links:Graduates can generate a unique, public link to share their profile externally. This page must show skills and achievements but completely strip out all personal contact identifiers. 4. Taxonomy-Based Matching Engine A custom or heavily modified matching mechanism that cross-references a graduate's skills/major taxonomies against an employer’s job posting requirements, generating a dynamic "Recommended Matches" dashboard feed for both parties. 5. Anonymized Ecosystem & Privacy (Non-Negotiable) -Contact Masking:The platform must automatically hide phone numbers, personal emails, and links from profiles, uploaded resumes, and job listings. -Real-Time Internal Messaging: All communications between graduates, employers, and agencies must happen entirely through a secure, live messaging system built into the WordPress front-end. -Masked Email Relays: Notification emails must route through an institutional email relay system to mask user identities until they explicitly choose to exchange details. Security & Architecture Standards -Protected File Storage: Uploaded resumes cannot be stored in the public wp-content/uploads folder. They must reside in a protected directory or secure cloud bucket (e.g., AWS S3) accessible only via authenticated PHP tokens. -Secure API Management: All AI API calls must happen strictly server-side. Keys must be handled via environment variables (.env), never exposed to the client. -Data Protection: Full code sanitization to prevent SQL injections and XSS, adhering strictly to official WordPress Coding Standards and local data privacy frameworks (PDPA/GDPR). What You Must Provide in Your Proposal: 1. **Your Answer** to the mandatory messaging bypass question at the top. 2. **Live Showcase/Links** to at least two (2) complex WordPress portals or web applications you have built featuring user dashboards or directory/marketplace functions. 3. **Your Proposed Tech Stack:** Explain whether you plan to build this as a fully custom plugin or use a specific plugin hybrid framework, and how you intend to manage the AI integration securely.
