Project Overview

Ajna is a cloud-native recruitment CRM designed to automate and unify hiring operations for a U.S.-based staffing agency. The platform consolidated fragmented systems into a single workflow covering candidate matching, interview scheduling, placements, payroll, invoicing, and reporting. Intelligent automation and role-based portals improved collaboration between recruiters, clients, and candidates. The solution reduced manual effort, improved reporting accuracy, and accelerated hiring cycles. Built on a scalable SaaS architecture, Ajna supports long-term growth and data-driven decision-making.
