A lightweight, real-time, multiplayer bingo game for recruiters, sourcers, hiring teams, and anyone who lives in the madness of talent acquisition.

Recruiting Bingo is a modern web app built for fun team moments, offsites, training sessions, and live meetings. Create a room in seconds, share a link, and watch everyone sync up in real time as they click squares like:

• “Can we push this to next quarter?”
• “What’s the budget for this role?”
• “We need someone with 10 years of experience in a 3-year-old technology.”

Players get automatic Bingo detection, real-time winner announcements, and fireworks 🔥🎆

No accounts. No logins. No tracking. Just a delightful little game.

Hi, I’m Ed — a product nerd, ex-recruiter, and Director of Product in TA Tech.

I build tools for recruiters and hiring teams. I love polished, delightful side projects — especially ones that blend UX, product thinking, and modern development.

This project is part of HireGear, a collection of experimental tools for the recruiting world.

• GitHub: https://github.com/SomeGuy02312
• HireGear: https://www.hiregear.us
• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/epedini/

This app was built through a tight iterative loop between:

• Drove product vision & UX
• Designed game mechanics and flows
• Set polish standards (layout, spacing, animation)
• Debugged issues and integrated code

• Wrote major React + TS components
• Debugged live errors
• Refactored layout and winner flow
• Generated copy, UI patterns, and Tailwind structures
• Produced specs, PRDs, and documentation

This wasn’t “AI-built software.” It was human-led product development with AI as a high-speed engineering copilot.

Recruiting is chaotic, funny, and endlessly human.

This project is a small celebration of that energy — with fireworks.
