Reqcore v1.0.0 — The Open Source ATS

The open-source ATS you own. No per-seat fees. No data lock-in. No secret algorithms.

I am thrilled to announce the first stable release of Reqcore — a self-hostable, full-stack Applicant Tracking System built with Nuxt 4, PostgreSQL, and S3-compatible storage.

This release establishes the first major public baseline for the project. While the core workflows are ready to use, the product is still evolving and users should expect continued improvements, polish, and bug fixes in upcoming releases.

Highlights

  • Full ATS workflow — Create jobs, receive public applications, track candidates through a Kanban pipeline, upload and manage documents — all from a single dashboard.
  • Self-hosted & data sovereign — Runs on your infrastructure via Docker Compose. Your candidate data stays in your PostgreSQL database and your S3 bucket. No vendor lock-in.
  • No per-seat pricing — Add your entire hiring team without increasing your software bill.
  • SEO-ready public job board — Slug-based URLs, JSON-LD JobPosting schema, sitemap integration, and OG meta for maximum visibility on Google and social platforms.
  • Production-hardened — Rate limiting, security headers, server-proxied document access, private S3 bucket enforcement, and filename sanitization out of the box.

Core Features

  • Full CRUD with status workflow: Draft → Open → Closed → Archived
  • Multi-step job creation form with guided wizard UX
  • Markdown support for rich job descriptions
  • Custom URL slugs for public job pages

  • Candidates data table with filtering, sorting, and column visibility controls
  • Click-to-open detail sidebar with status transitions, notes, and question responses
  • Search functionality across candidates and applications

  • Custom application forms with 9 field types (text, textarea, select, multi-select, checkbox, number, date, URL, file upload)
  • Drag-to-reorder questions per job
  • Resume and cover letter file upload with magic-byte MIME validation
  • Anti-spam honeypot protection
  • Shareable application links for open positions
  • Confirmation page after submission

Document Storage

  • S3-compatible storage via MinIO (self-hosted) or any S3 provider
  • Resume and cover letter upload with multipart/form-data
  • Server-proxied download and inline PDF preview — documents are never exposed via public URLs

  • Railway support — Managed deployment with auto-build, auto-deploy, and PR preview environments
  • Auto-migrations — Database migrations apply automatically on server startup
  • Demo seed data — npm run db:seed populates a demo organization with sample jobs, candidates, and applications

Security

  • Global API rate limiting (IP-based sliding window) with stricter thresholds for auth and write endpoints
  • Security headers: X-Frame-Options, X-Content-Type-Options, Referrer-Policy, X-XSS-Protection, Permissions-Policy
  • noindex on all private routes (auth, dashboard, onboarding)
  • Server-proxied document access — no presigned URLs leak to clients
  • Honeypot anti-spam on public application forms
  • Zod validation on every API endpoint (server + client)

SEO & Content

  • Full @nuxtjs/seo integration: Sitemap, Robots, Schema.org, OG + Twitter Card meta
  • JSON-LD structured data: JobPosting, Organization, WebSite, WebPage, Article
  • Dynamic sitemap auto-includes all open job postings
  • Blog engine powered by @nuxt/content v3 with Markdown + YAML frontmatter
  • Dark-themed public landing page, roadmap, and blog
  • ISR caching on job pages, prerendered landing + blog pages

  • AI Candidate Ranking — Transparent, explainable matching with visible "Matching Logic" summaries (the Glass Box principle)
  • Local AI via Ollama — Privacy-first AI where candidate PII never leaves your network
  • Team Collaboration — Threaded comments, activity logs, interview scheduling
  • Candidate Portal — Self-service application status tracking
