🛠️ Technical Implementation

# AI-powered candidate evaluation using Llama 3
def evaluate_candidate(applicant, job_requirements):
    prompt = f"Evaluate this candidate for {job_requirements}"
    response = groq_client.chat.completions.create(
        model="llama3-70b-8192",
        messages=[{"role": "user", "content": prompt}]
    )

// React frontend with secure API integration
const api = axios.create({
  baseURL: 'http://localhost:8000/api',
  headers: {
    'Authorization': `Bearer ${getAccessToken()}`
  }
});

// Automatic token refresh
api.interceptors.response.use(
  response => response,
  async error => {
    if (error.response?.status === 401) {
      await refreshAccessToken();
      return api.request(error.config);
    }
    return Promise.reject(error);
  }
);
