WordPress Plugin Developer for Advanced Matching Quiz Tool

We aim to develop a WordPress plugin that integrates with Gravity Forms to create a sophisticated matching algorithm. This tool will allow employees to take a quiz, storing their answers. When potential clients take a similar quiz, the system will match them with an employee or provide the top 3 employee matches with a percentage match by each. Please mention "I can read" in your proposal. Detailed Responsibilities: 1. Integration with Gravity Forms: Seamlessly integrate the new plugin with Gravity Forms. Ensure that the plugin can pull data from Gravity Forms quizzes and store new quiz data. 2. Quiz Creation: Enable the creation of detailed quizzes for both stylists and clients. Support various question types, including multiple choice, dropdowns, and sliders. Implement conditional logic to display/hide questions based on previous answers. 3. Matching Algorithm: Develop a robust matching algorithm that compares client quiz answers with stylist quiz answers. The algorithm should consider weights or importance for each question. Calculate a match percentage based on the number of matching criteria. Ensure the algorithm can handle a large number of employees and clients. 4. Results Display: After clients complete the quiz, display the top 3 stylist matches with their match percentages with a photo of the employee and brief bio with link to their landing page. Provide an option for clients to view more details about each stylist, such as their profile, portfolio, or testimonials. 5. Backend Management: Create a user-friendly backend interface where admins can: View all quiz submissions. Adjust quiz questions and weights. View match statistics and analytics. Export potential client entries in csv format to import into email followup software 6. Performance & Security: Ensure the plugin is optimized for speed and doesn't slow down the website.
