[VERIFIED CASE STUDY]

Job Application Intelligence Pipeline

Imports job application sample data, validates records, persists applications, and records import evidence.

Business Problem

Application data often arrives as inconsistent files with no audit trail or repeatable scoring logic.

Workflow Purpose

Demonstrate local file intake, validation, scoring, PostgreSQL persistence, import-run tracking, and rejection handling.

Persistence Model

  • job_applications
  • job_import_runs
  • job_import_rejections

Verified Counts

  • 2 job application records
  • 1 import run
  • 0 rejections

Node Sequence

Read sample inputParse and validateScore fit signalsPersist applicationsRecord import runReturn evidence

Validation Logic

Required fields are checked before persistence; rejection handling is present even though the verified run had zero rejected rows.

Reliability Patterns

  • Run audit table
  • Deterministic sample data
  • PostgreSQL row-count verification
  • Sanitized release export

Security Model

  • No live credentials in export
  • Scoped file access
  • Secret scan before publication

Lessons Learned

  • Workflow evidence is stronger when persistence is queryable.
  • Import runs make small demos easier to verify.

The sample data proves execution and persistence; it is not a scale claim.
