Self host a small professional network where every account arrives via a named recommendation
Let users upload a PDF resume and edit a structured version in the browser
Export a polished resume PDF tied to a public profile and recommendation feed
README is a product pitch; actual install steps live in CONTRIBUTING.md and likely need a database and PDF parser configured.
weareonhire is an open source project that builds a professional networking platform. The README pitches it as something like a living resume, where each member has a public profile that is backed by written recommendations from other members. The framing is that a person's reputation should be visible and tied to specific people who vouched for them, rather than to anonymous endorsements. The headline mechanic is recommendation based onboarding. A new member joins because an existing member writes a recommendation about them, and that recommendation becomes part of the new profile. According to the README this creates a chain of accountability, because every profile arrives with social proof attached to a real person who endorsed it. Recommendations are public, so anyone can read them and see who said what. The platform includes a resume editor. A user can upload a PDF of an existing resume, and the tool will extract their work experience from it automatically. From there they can edit the content and export the result as a compact PDF to send to recruiters. So the project combines a CV authoring tool with a public profile and a feed of recommendations. The README does not go into installation steps, technology choices, or deployment details. It is written more as a product description for visitors than as developer onboarding. The actual setup instructions live in a separate CONTRIBUTING.md file, which is referenced for anyone who wants to get the project running locally or contribute changes. The README ends with a small set of subdomain shortcuts that act as front doors to community spaces: a Discord server at chat.weareonhire.com, a Bluesky account at social.weareonhire.com, the GitHub repo at repo.weareonhire.com, and the issue tracker at issues.weareonhire.com. The project is released under the MIT license.
