RB Recruiter v 0.9.0

The quick and pain-free form management solution for communities

Have you ever gotten tired of managing your Minecraft server/network's applications through Discord (or anything else) and having to scroll through hundreds of new messages just to find that one applicant's username?

Wish you had a better application managemet strategy? Well, then RBRecruiter is for you! It was originally designed and developed for internal use for a gameserver network, but sharing is caring!

Features (not exhaustive)

• Beautiful (customizable in future releases) landing page for your application management center; It displays all available staff ranks
• Contact form on landing page for those un-registerd users
• User registration/authentication system; Users will be sent to the authentication flow to complete their application, if not logged in
• Candidate tracking system - Applicants will be tracked from start to finish.
• Peer approval system - Have all your staff members vote on applications and decide whether they should be accepted (this is overridable)
• Interview scheduling (simple) - Schedule interviews with your candidates and automatically notify them!
  • Interview notes: Every staff member is able to add and edit interview notes (how the interview went, etc)
• Application comments: Finally no more having to go to a private Discord channel just to comment on a single application. Comments are organised neatly for every application! This should help in the decision process of voting for an application.
• User profiles - Fill out your profile for others to better find you
• User directory - Public profile directory for everyone
• Staff rank management - Add/remove ranks on demand, that users will be able to apply to
• Simple form builder - Create your application forms easily!
• Termination - Has a staff member met their untimely demise? Terminate them. This will strip their permissions and roles.
• Controllable permissions - Every user has permissions! Control who has access to what (You can skip the application process and add staff members directly here).
• Ban system - Having trouble with pesky spammers? Ban them! This will publicly shame their profile and keep them from signing up or logging in.
• Notifications: Notifies slack and email primarily (Slack notifications currently broken)

And many more features!

Stability

Every released version is currently pre-release. The main branch is currently stable and ready to use, however, we don't recommend updating your app until a new release comes out.

At the moment, each new feature goes into its separate branch so that main remains stable. When the features being worked on are ready and tested, they are merged onto main, and a new release can be started. The main branch is write-protected.

*Note: This application is NOT production ready! It won't be until the first stable release comes out, which might take a bit longer.
