Introducing HireCinch!
An Applicant Tracking System that transforms hiring through epic tales of code, user interfaces, and exceptional user experiences
BUT
As HireCinch grew, our initial choices of development were questioned by the demanding tides of efficiency and speed.
Challenges
Struggling Against Time's Sands
Accumulating a Mountain of Tech Debt
Skyrocketing Complexity with Scaling
Stifling Lack of Flexibility in Tools
Unyielding Pressure for Performance Optimisation
Here are the steps we took to increase speed and efficiency for our app and development.
Choosing Flexibility
Material-UI
As our application grew and our needs diversified, we found ourselves in need of a more flexible solution that would grant us greater creative freedom and control.
Before
Headless Components
The Benefits:
Ready for external control upon request.
Unstyled components serve as a blank canvas, offering complete styling freedom.
Easily combinable and extensible for crafting custom, intuitive UIs.
After
Efficient Data Handling
Redux
It often requires a significant amount of boilerplate code. With tons of boilerplate code comes increased development time.
Before
SWR
With just a single line, SWR significantly reduces complexity and offers:
Lightweight and reusable data fetching
Built-in caching
Request deduplication
Real-time updates
After
Optimising Bundling
Create React App (CRA)
CRA has been commendable in setting up a modern React applications, but as the technological landscape advanced, we started to notice that the build time could be significantly increased.
Before
Vite
Not just faster build times but brings forth capabilities like:
Native ESM support
Instant server start
Hot Module Replacement (HMR).
After
Forms & Validations
Formik
It served us faithfully, but the tide of technology brought in newer, more efficient tools that couldn’t be ignored.
Before
React Form Hooks
With just a single line, SWR significantly reduces complexity and offers:
Minimum Re-renders
Easy Form State Management
Enables easy rules validations
Allows Seamless Development
After
The result?
HireCinch today stands not just as a product but as a story, a saga of triumph over trial
Our toolkit underwent a metamorphosis, shedding the rigid exoskeleton of inflexibility. It is ready to be carved, shaped, and molded to reflect the visage of our vision and mission.
