A candidate database plugin
A masked candidate database and CV search plugin for a recruitment platform, sold in three editions (Essentiel/Pro/Premium) with a 1-credit unlock per profile, Emploitic-style, but the client owns the database instead of renting access to a shared one.

- WordPress plugin: credit-gated CV search for a recruitment platform
- 2026
Problem
A credit-gated search only works if the underlying candidate data actually stays behind the paywall, masked profiles, a real unlock cost, admin visibility into who is buying access, while keeping every CV local, with no AI API call.
System
A WordPress plugin with masked profiles, a 1-credit unlock, admin stats/history, and CV-to-job matching in the higher editions, running entirely on local data. A later pass added a per-domain Ed25519 licence, the same system built for PRO STEP, with three enforcement locks, so a build claiming a higher edition than its key is invalid rather than upgraded. Proven live on a staging domain with 100+ API tests and every end-to-end test passing.
- Candidate sign-up with CV autofill by a local extractor: no AI service, the CV never leaves the server.
Built with: WordPress, MySQL, REST API
Result
- 3 editions.
- Licence model: Per-domain.
