Online Recruitment Platform

Project Synopsis

A client approached us to develop a professional networking application similar in functionality to LinkedIn. This application aims to manage professional profiles, build and engage with various professionals, search for opportunities, or engage professionals looking for a changing job. 

Users can leverage the platform to find a job with a company that needs their service another way around. Companies can also use the platform to create online pages for their business.

In addition, users can have the flexibility to modify the subscription level as and when required. This application works for a business community. It would be a place for professionals to connect with past and current colleagues, increase their network within the industry, discuss the business, search for jobs, and hire new talent from the market.

Project Requirements/ Context

The objective is to develop a platform furnishing equal opportunities to all user types and help employers find a better match. The platform was developed as a website and mobile application for both (iOS and Android). The application is broadly divided into the following user types:

• Professionals: Professionals can use this platform to network, search for jobs, or publish articles. The application will also help professionals to get their CVs generated automatically (if taken as a subscription or paid service). The profile can get the trusted mark on the page if paid for the service so that others can trust users more while selecting the profile. 
• Company: The platform allows recruiters to assess and hire employees and vendors, generate leads, and market your company. Employers have a powerful tool to manage their profiles and increase the company page visibility. It has all the options to create a company information page that can be linked to an external website.
• Recruiters: Recruiters can create a profile of an individual/company, post a job, search for a profile, take subscriptions for advertisements, recommend profiles, conduct online interviews, and manage resources. This platform will be free for basic membership, but users can take subscriptions for various other services like authenticating their profile, job application, performing online interviews, etc.
• Admin: The admin would be managing the business professionals, individuals, and recruiters, as well as managing the subscriptions and other content on the application.
