SLCT – Minimal ATS with AI Screening
Project Details
Project Overview
SLCT was built to address the frustration of bloated ATS platforms that slow down hiring rather than accelerating it. The platform focuses on what matters: posting jobs, screening candidates with AI assistance, and moving fast from application to hire.
Mission Statement
Create a hiring tool that respects the recruiter's time. No calendar integrations fighting for attention, no social features, no unnecessary complexity—just a focused tool to find the right people, fast.
Philosophy
No bloated features. No calendar integrations fighting for attention. Just a focused tool to find the right people, fast. SLCT is built on the belief that hiring software should get out of the way and let recruiters do what they do best—find great talent.
Design Principles
- Speed over features – Every interaction should feel instant
- Minimal by default – Show only what matters, hide the rest
- AI as assistant – AI augments human judgment, doesn't replace it
- Keyboard-first – Power users can navigate without touching the mouse
- Mobile-ready – Full functionality on any device
- Accessible – Built for everyone, WCAG compliant
