Add LinkedIn profile integration with OAuth and auto-fill capabilities

[anshul23102]

Description

Manual resume entry tedious and error-prone. LinkedIn integration with OAuth would enable 90% reduction in manual data entry, auto-populate fields from LinkedIn profile (experience, education, skills), and improve data accuracy.

Current Impact: High friction; many users abandon tool during resume entry.

Expected Business Value: 90% data entry time reduction, 70% higher completion rate, 85% improved data accuracy, seamless user experience.

Steps to Reproduce

1. Click 'Import from LinkedIn' (if feature exists)
2. Observe: no integration available
3. Must manually type all resume information

Environment Information

• Node.js/Python backend
• OAuth 2.0 support
• LinkedIn API credentials
• Session management available

Expected Behavior

• 'Connect LinkedIn' button triggers OAuth flow
• User grants resume read permission
• Auto-populate from LinkedIn: name, email, profile URL
• Extract work experience, education, skills
• Display preview before saving
• Optional manual corrections before final save

Actual Behavior

• No LinkedIn integration
• Manual data entry required
• High friction, low completion rate
• Data entry errors common

Additional Context

Affected Users: All users; massive UX improvement.

Root Cause: No OAuth implementation or LinkedIn API integration.

Proposed Solution: Implement LinkedIn OAuth flow with API data extraction.

Implementation Steps:

1. Register LinkedIn OAuth app, get credentials
2. Implement OAuth 2.0 flow (authorize -> callback -> token)
3. Create LinkedInAPI wrapper for profile access
4. Parse LinkedIn response, map to resume fields
5. Display preview UI with extracted data
6. Implement save/edit before final commit
7. Add error handling for missing permissions
8. Store access token securely (encrypted)

Test Cases:

• OAuth flow completes successfully
• Profile data extracted: name, location, industry
• Experience entries parsed with dates and descriptions
• Education entries recognized with dates
• Skills extracted and auto-populated
• User can review and edit before saving
• Connection revocation handled gracefully
• Performance: data fetch <2 seconds

Severity: High - major UX improvement
Expected Points: 600-700 GSSoC points

Hi @anshul23102,

I would like to work on this issue under GSSoC'26.

I understand that this feature involves LinkedIn OAuth integration, profile data extraction, and auto-filling resume details. I'm interested in implementing this feature while following the project's architecture and coding standards.

Please assign this issue to me if it is available.

Thank you!
