  • Expiry controls — 7-day default; custom 1–90 day windows.
  • Revocation — Instant invalidate from dashboard security panel.

Why We Built It

Users wanted recruiter previews without publishing full public profiles or exporting static PDFs that immediately stale.

We prioritized this work because user interviews consistently surfaced this as a blocker to daily use. The fix needed to be durable—not a patch—so we addressed root causes in Profile Sharing rather than symptoms alone.

Engineers, recruiters, and hiring managers all benefit when Honestify behaves predictably in production. This release reflects that bar.

User Impact

Shared link creation up 62%; recruiter feedback loop shortened via in-link comment requests (planned).

AudienceHow you benefit
EngineersFaster profile setup, clearer AI answers, less manual rework
RecruitersMore complete profiles and reliable share links when candidates use Honestify
Founders / hiring managersBetter signal on candidate preparation and skills alignment
Platform engineersPerformance headroom for upcoming features

Relevant skills: react, typescript, system design. Target roles: frontend engineer, full stack engineer, backend engineer.

Technical Highlights

  • Token table with hashed secrets at rest
  • Snapshot versioning on share create
  • Rate limiting on share link resolution
  • Audit log for share views

Prompt and retrieval changes versioned separately with eval gating before production promotion.
