Sidechain

The client’s recruitment process relied on multiple platforms that didn’t communicate with each other. This created major pain points:

• Manual candidate data entry across systems
• Inconsistent job and candidate information
• Slow and error-prone matching processes
• Limited insights for informed hiring decisions

It wasn’t just inefficiency; the impact on the business was clear. Key roles went unfilled, mistakes occurred, and the HR team spent more time on admin than on people. They needed a solution that would not just automate tasks but make recruitment smarter, faster, and more precise.

Tectome partnered with the client to build Sidechain, an AI powered recruitment platform that transformed hiring from a tedious task into a strategic advantage.

We started by centralizing jobs and company data, pulling company details automatically from Crunchbase and syncing candidate information in real time from Folk CRM via Zapier. No more duplicate entries, no more outdated spreadsheets.

The platform’s AI powered matching engine was the real breakthrough. Using Claude Sonnet and Gemini models, Sidechain calculates precise match scores for every candidate and job opening, letting recruiters focus immediately on the best-fit candidates with clear, actionable insights.

A modern, interactive dashboard provides a complete view of jobs, candidates, and match scores in one place. Built with Vite, React, Tailwind CSS, and Material UI, the interface is fast, intuitive, and user-friendly. Behind the scenes, Supabase ensures real-time performance, secure access, and scalability, making the platform reliable as the business grows.

To complement the platform, we also designed a marketing website to showcase Sidechain’s story simple, powerful recruitment automation that helps companies hire smarter, faster, and more efficiently.

The Results Sidechain’s impact was immediate and measurable:

• 50% faster candidate matching, dramatically reducing time-to-hire
• 30% improvement in hiring accuracy, ensuring better candidate-job fits
• 80% reduction in manual data entry, freeing HR teams to focus on people
• Real-time insights replaced outdated reports, enabling faster, informed decisions
• Candidate engagement improved with instant follow-ups and updates
• The platform scaled effortlessly to handle more companies, job postings, and candidates

Conclusion

Sidechain turned recruitment from a frustrating, error-prone process into a strategic, data-driven workflow. By centralizing data, leveraging AI for precision, and providing actionable insights, HR teams can now focus on what truly matters: connecting with the right talent and driving business growth. With Sidechain, hiring became smarter, faster, and far more effective.
