Design and Development of a Modern Hybrid E-Recruitment System with MERN Architecture

In the evolving world of digital hiring, the integration of modern technologies with recruitment processes has become essential for achieving operational excellence, improved user engagement, and creating a robust and scalable system. This paper presents the design and development of a hybrid e-recruitment drive system utilizing the MERN architecture, comprising MongoDB, Express JS, React JS, and Node JS. This system provides a unified interface for both Candidates (Job Seekers) and Recruiters (Employers), offering personalized dashboards, profile creation (showcasing portfolios), job posting, application tracking, an intelligent auto job matching system, ATS-friendly resume builders and many interactive features. Emphasis is placed on creating a modular, scalable and secure web-based solution for small to medium enterprises (SMEs). This paper discusses the underlying system architecture, design methodology, feature set and potential impact on recruitment workflows. The results highlights improved usability and performance in comparison to traditional recruitment portals. This implementation-oriented study contributes a practical, tech-driven perspective to e-recruitment system development.
