    What do you want your product to do? Is it handling any sensitive data (GDPR, etc)?

    I am naturally a bit of a skeptic when it comes to new tools, but platforms exist to "vibecode" a piece of software. From my experience, it gets about 75% of the way there very quickly, but never quite gets it perfect. If you're content with being "alright", then you will be alright.

    It might be a good idea to see if there are any whitelabelled/pre-existing tools for you. Unless you're doing anything revolutionary I imagine there will be

      The companies I work with have a have several inbound job applications that come in through email. These are medium sized companies (10-20) that usually don't have systems built in. The candidate vetting process is still manual.

      I want to make a product where all the applications are connected to my platform. The founder or hiring team can login through their credentials. Review it, see key insights, give the candidate option of uploading short videos or audio introductions and talk about their skill set.

      The companies get a complete overview of the candidate, based on that the system assigns scores and ranking for whoever is the top match. The team interview them and then hire them. They can also use my platform to post jobs.

        Not sure where you're based, but data protection laws are probably similar around the world.

        CVs usually have quite a lot of sensitive information that people don't want leaking out. If people can upload their phone numbers, locations etc then that is quite a good target for attackers, or even just accidental vibecoded mistakes.

        You can make a decent enough start on it, but I wouldn't start using it for real applicants until it has been thoroughly scrutinised by a professional, a pentest would be good and also just getting some experienced programmer to skim the codebase
