Recruiting is a two-sided relationship, but most ATS tools are built entirely for the recruiter. Candidates are left in the dark with no visibility into where they stand, what documents were received, or what happens next. We wanted to build a platform that serves both sides equally.
Recruiting is a two-sided relationship, but most ATS tools are built entirely for the recruiter. Candidates are left in the dark with no visibility into where they stand, what documents were received, or what happens next. We wanted to build a platform that serves both sides equally.
Built Silverglass as a dual-portal recruiting CRM — recruiters get full pipeline management, and candidates get their own portal with application status, document vault, and direct messaging. Both sides share the same data in real time.
Next.js with role-based routing (recruiter vs candidate portals), shared PostgreSQL data layer with row-level security, real-time updates via server-sent events, and a document vault with secure upload and access controls.
A detailed breakdown of our systematic approach to delivering this AI transformation, including key milestones, deliverables, and how we overcame challenges.
Silverglass delivers a complete dual-sided recruiting platform where both recruiters and candidates have first-class experiences on the same underlying data.
Candidate experience that treats applicants as partners, not tickets
Recruiter workflow that reduces status-inquiry overhead
Document vault eliminates email attachment hunting
Real-time updates keep both parties informed without manual effort
“The dual-portal pattern proved that you can build for two audiences simultaneously without compromising either experience”
Reusable multi-portal architecture pattern
Deep understanding of role-based data access at scale
Document management patterns applicable to other products
Let's discuss how we can deliver measurable business impact for your organization.

Small businesses need CRM functionality but existing tools are either too simple (spreadsheets) or too complex and expensive (Salesforce, HubSpot enterprise). We set out to build a modern, full-featured CRM that covers deals, contacts, time tracking, and invoicing in one cohesive application — with an API-first architecture.
View Case StudyStudents and professionals take handwritten notes but need them digitized for searching, editing, and sharing. Existing OCR tools struggle with messy handwriting, can't handle mathematical notation, and don't provide useful output formats. We built ChickenScratch to bridge handwritten notes and structured digital documents.
