Enterprise Talent Intelligence and Deterministic Skill-Matching Engine. Bridging campus placement intelligence with automated JD-to-resume matching, 7-stage skill cascading, and Bloom taxonomy rubrics across 115 corporate bars.
-brightgreen){kind=icon}
-success){kind=icon}
Campus recruitment and candidate qualification face critical operational bottlenecks. University placement cells, career academies, and corporate talent acquisition teams manually audit thousands of heterogeneous resumes and job descriptions (JDs), struggling to evaluate candidate readiness against strict corporate hiring bars.
When organizations experiment with generative Large Language Models (LLMs) for candidate scoring, they encounter four fatal flaws:
- Stochastic Scoring Drift: The same candidate receives wildly differing percentage scores across consecutive prompts.
- Hallucinatory Skill Inferences: Generative models infer unearned competencies without verifiable document evidence.
- Severe Cloud Expenses: Full-prompt LLM evaluation costs upwards of $0.065 per resume evaluation ($65.00+ per 1,000 reviews).
- Unacceptable Latency: Multi-pass prompt chains exceed 12 seconds per candidate, making interactive browser workflows impossible.
PlaceIntel and RADIX Talent Match eliminate this dilemma by strictly decoupling probabilistic evidence extraction from deterministic mathematical evaluation:
- Curated Historical Intelligence: 115 corporate entities with 1,380 normalized skill bars and 10-level Bloom taxonomy topic ladders.
-
Deterministic Mathematical Scoring: Pure, reproducible functions with zero LLM scoring drift (
$100 \times \frac{\sum(\min(c, r) - 1)}{\sum(r - 1)}$ ). - 7-Stage Matching Cascade: High-speed resolution (Exact -> Alias -> Implied DAG -> Fuzzy -> Semantic Cosine -> LLM Gray-Pair Adjudication -> Category Fallback) slashing turn latency and compute cost.
- Air-Gapped Demonstration Resilience: Zero demo downtime via bundled local seed data fallbacks when database connectivity is unavailable.

Important
Key Pitch Point for Evaluators and Investors: "We never allow an LLM to invent scores. Generative models extract text evidence under strict citation gates. The final talent scores, category shortfalls, and matching tiers are computed via pure deterministic mathematics in under 1ms."
Think of the system as an Airport Biometric E-Gate. Traditional resume screening is like manual customs where every passenger undergoes a slow, manual 15-minute search. Our platform verifies 95%+ of skills through rapid exact, alias, and taxonomy fast-paths (like the biometric gate in 2 seconds), and only escalates ambiguous domain terminology to semantic embeddings or LLMs (the secondary manual review booth).

- Workload and Runtime Isolation: Text extraction, tokenization, and vector math require Python's scientific ecosystem (PyMuPDF, spaCy, RapidFuzz, LangChain, Pydantic v2). High-concurrency client requests, real-time caching, and API routing require Node.js and Express 5. Separating them prevents CPU-heavy parsing jobs from degrading UI responsiveness.
- Stateless Horizontal Autoscaling (HPA): Both the Python
agent/andresume/services are completely stateless and store zero database credentials. They can scale horizontally across multiple worker pods behind an internal gateway without creating Postgres connection pool exhaustion. - Decoupled Offline NLP Engine: The
resume/microservice runs on a dedicated lightweight Python container with spaCyen_core_web_smand RapidFuzz. It requires zero cloud LLM API tokens, protecting operational budgets while delivering sub-50ms parse times. - Zero-Trust Security Boundary: The frontend never connects directly to Supabase, the Python agent, or the resume service. All traffic routes through Express middleware or NGINX Ingress, ensuring token validation, file schema checks, and payload sanitization at ingress.
- Air-Gapped Campus Fallback: Placement drives frequently encounter erratic college Wi-Fi. The backend implements local snapshot fallbacks for company skill levels and topic ladders, allowing end-to-end demonstrations even with severed database connectivity.

-
Document Ingestion (Role 1): User uploads a corporate JD (PDF/DOCX). Backend calculates SHA-256 checksum and verifies document cache. If novel, Agent extracts skill requirements and requirement weights (
mustvsnice) with text evidence spans. - Resume Parsing (Role 2): User uploads candidate resume. Resume microservice parses sections using spaCy NER and token matching, inferring Bloom category levels (1-10) without expensive LLM calls.
-
Automated Profile Creation (Role 3): Backend
flow.service.tsconverts the resume extraction into a structured candidate profile in an atomic call, saving it to persistent storage or in-memory fallback. - 7-Stage Skill Matching Cascade (Role 5): The system matches candidate skills against JD requirements across 7 stages (Exact -> Alias -> Implied DAG -> Fuzzy -> Semantic Cosine -> Gray-Pair LLM -> Category Fallback).
-
Deterministic Talent Check (Role 4): Candidate proficiency levels are evaluated against the corporate hiring bar for 115 companies via pure mathematics:
$100 \times \frac{\sum(\min(c, r) - 1)}{\sum(r - 1)}$ . -
Curated Recommendations & Visual Feedback: Results display readiness verdict (
ready,almost,not_yet), individual category gaps, and prioritized Bloom-taxonomy study topics.
The frontend communicates strictly through the backend API gateway or NGINX Ingress. All contract schemas adhere to docs/00-shared-contract.md.

- Liveness Probe (
GET /healthz): Verifies that the service event loop and HTTP server are responsive. - Readiness Probe (
GET /ready/GET /readyz): Validates that storage mounts, database connectivity, and agent endpoints are reachable. - Unified Health (
GET /api/health): Returns JSON payload confirming whether Supabase is connected or operating in local seed fallback mode:
{
"status": "ok",
"supabaseConfigured": true,
"timestamp": "2026-10-29T04:15:00.000Z"
}- Strict Parameter Isolation: Database access utilizes the service-role key on the backend only. Anonymous frontend access to private database tables is disabled via Supabase Row-Level Security (RLS).
- Anti-Hallucination Evidence Gating: All skills extracted from candidate resumes must carry an authentic textual quote (
evidence) with character offsets (evidence_span). Skills lacking proof in source documents are discarded. - Stateless Token Verification: Internal microservices verify HS256 JWT tokens statelessly. No database round-trips are required for session verification.
- Zero Secret Commitment: API keys, database credentials, and service tokens are kept exclusively in ignored
.envfiles.

Judge Defense: Every extracted skill strictly requires verifiable text citations (
evidence) and character offset boundaries (evidence_span). Furthermore, raw skill mentions only award Level 1-2 (Conceptual Understanding). Attaining Level 5+ (Analysis & Synthesis) demands verified evidence of multi-month projects, production deployments, or internship outcomes.
Q2: "Why did you build deterministic scoring instead of letting a frontier LLM calculate candidate match percentages?"
Judge Defense: LLM percentage estimations drift between prompts, hallucinate non-existent proficiencies, and violate standard regulatory compliance for educational hiring. Our deterministic engine ensures that two students with identical credentials receive identical scores, auditable down to individual category shortfalls.
Judge Defense: The backend service contains built-in JSON snapshots of all 115 corporate bars and topic ladders. If Supabase connectivity is interrupted, the platform automatically drops into local fallback mode without UI degradation or error alerts.
- v1.2.0 (2026-10-29): Decoupled 5-service Kubernetes microservice monorepo. Added Role 1 JD extraction, Role 2 offline spaCy resume parsing service (
resume/:8100), Role 3 profile builder, Role 4 talent check, Role 5 7-stage skill matching cascade,/flowguided wizard, auth microservice (auth/:4100), cyber-terminal dark theme redesign, and 1,077 passing offline unit & integration tests. - v1.1.0 (2026-10-27): Complete architectural unification of PlaceIntel and RADIX Talent Match monorepo. Added 5-role execution specifications, additive contract objects (
Skill,ExtractedSkillList,ResumeExtraction,CandidateProfile,TalentCheckResult,SkillMatchResult), cascade design, and offline seed fallbacks. - v1.0.0 (2026-10-26): Initial PlaceIntel portal deployment. Integrated 115 corporate placement profiles, 12 skill categories, Bloom taxonomy ladders, and Express 5 seed fallback endpoints.
