• .NET 8.0: The services are built with .NET 8.0.

• Spectre.Console:

  • Spectre.Console is a .NET library that makes it easier to create beautiful console applications. It provides a variety of features such as tables, progress bars, and markdown rendering.

• .NET 8.0 SDK or later

The project doesn't have much test, only one test has been written to test the MatchService in the project and make sure that the serialization and deserialization works fine with the sample data.

dotnet test

To run the application, navigate to the GlobalRecruitment.Console directory and run the following command:

dotnet run

in the first window, you will be asked to enter the technologies that you want the candidates to have:

• you can scroll up and down using the arrow keys.
• you can select the technologies by pressing the space key.
• you can press the enter key to confirm your selection.

• you can enter the required experience for each technology by entering a number and pressing Enter.

• The information about each candidate will be shown, the related technologies to your selection will be highlighted in green.

• you can select one of the options:

  • NextCandidate: reject current one and display the next.
  • AcceptCandidate: add this candidate to the accepteds and display the next one.
  • Finish: finish the candidate selecting and display the accepted candidates.

if the list of current API candidates is finished, you will be asked if you want to load more candidates from the API.

• The application is designed to be able to load more candidates from the API if the current list is finished.

• The 3-4 hour time to do the task was not enough to implement all the requirements, so I focused on the main requirements and the main functionalities.

• The UI/UX of the application is not the best, but it's functional and easy to use.

• It's better to use appsettings.json to store the API URL.

• It's better to have logs in the application to track the errors and the application flow.
