SRS Summary

Problem Statement

Design an Applicant Tracking System (ATS) that manages job postings, receives applications, and creates a hiring workflow.

User Roles

Role	Responsibilities
Candidate	Browse jobs, apply with resume, track application status
Employer	Create job posts with descriptions and R1 screening forms
Coordinator	Approve posts, assign recruiters, add R2 forms, publish jobs
Recruiter	Screen applications, complete R2 forms, shortlist candidates

Job Posting Flow

1. Employer creates a job post (description + R1 check form)
2. Coordinator approves the post, assigns recruiters, adds R2 check form
3. Coordinator publishes the job — it goes live for candidates

Application Flow

1. Candidate creates an account, browses job listings, applies (resume + R1 form)
2. Recruiter reviews applications, completes R2 form, shortlists candidates
3. Shortlisted applications appear on Employer and Coordinator dashboards
