### The Challenge
Manual resume screening in recruitment portals creates bottlenecks and delays candidate responses.
The Solution
A queued processing pipeline combining Node.js parsing workers with Laravel database queues: 1. **Async Intake**: CV uploaded to cloud storage, triggering a background job. 2. **Intelligent OCR & Entity Extraction**: Extracting contact details, skills, years of experience, and past roles. 3. **Scoring Engine**: Matching extracted candidate vectors against active job specifications.
