 Problem Statement
The present system requires applicants to search through print and visual media for
job opportunities. Applicants need to apply for jobs using conventional methods
and appear for interview on a specified date at a specified location. Employers
need to advertise the vacancies and sort all applicant details, conduct selection
procedures and complete the formalities. This approach is tedious and requires
much effort and resources. Therefore, there is need of an online job portal where
applicants easily find the jobs and employer can find suitable candidates for the
job.
Other problems in existing systems include
 Cannot upload and download the latest updates
 Risk of mismanagement of data when the project is under development
 Less security
 No proper coordination between different Applications and Users
 Fewer Users

Justification
The development of the new system contains the following activities, which try to
automate the entire process keeping in view of the database integration approach.

1. User friendliness is provided in the application with various controls.

2. The system makes the overall project management much easier and flexible.
3. Readily upload the latest updates, allows user to download the alerts by
clicking the URL.
4. There is no risk of data mismanagement at any level while the project
development is under process.
5. It provides high level of security with different level of authentication

Objectives

The main objective of this project is to provide the information about new jobs. A
user can search jobs according to their location or their skills. It provides the
resume tips and interview tips which is useful to provide the guidance to the user.
The organization can post the new jobs which is store in the new job database and
according to this new database an employer and jobseeker or employee can search
this to get new jobs.
Other objectives of the online job portal are
 To facilitate easy maintenance of records of various Recruiters (Companies),
job and job seekers.
 To check for details prospective jobseekers through quick search provided in
the portal
 To check for matching job with jobseekers.
 Quick access of all records.
 To match the suitable candidates to appropriate job.
 Prevent and reduce human error.
 Reduce manual work.
This new system is to be built because the organization needed to have some
creative concept that can help the user in the real manner and the next important
thing is that it should give the cost effective solution to the user. Due to the
collaborative nature of the application, the user can really be an important part of
it. As the prior applications were not providing the user portability, the new
application should be created for manage jobseekers and employers (recruiters) so
that user can access the application at any of the corner in the world into his/her
hand only. The new application also gives the user the liberty to know and use the
application from the web through the web modules which gives complete
information of the application.
