GSB Recruitment

Note: This application does not reflect my current skills, but rather serves as a marker of progress.

Context

This project was carried out as part of the assessment for the BTS SIO SLAM qualification. The objective was to design a web application that meets the needs of a fictional company called Galaxy Swiss Bourdin (GSB). In addition to being assessed on its own, the application also served as a support for the development exam (E6). In this context, I decided to create a recruitment management application.
