Job Shop connects talent with opportunity through a unified, user-friendly online portal.
It serves two main user types:
- Employers – to post job openings and manage applicants.
- Job Seekers – to search and apply for relevant jobs.
Additionally, a blogging module and feedback system are included to build a community and enhance engagement.
Traditional job search and recruitment methods are:
- Time-consuming and inefficient.
- Based on outdated approaches like newspaper ads and manual CV submissions.
- Difficult for both employers and job seekers to manage effectively.
Current online platforms have dull interfaces, limited features, and lack efficient search/filtering options.
The Job Shop platform aims to solve these issues by:
- Providing digital resume submission and job application workflows.
- Enabling employers to review applications, download resumes, and communicate directly with candidates.
- Offering search filters by job title, city, category, and salary.
- Introducing a blog system for career advice and news.
- Centralized portal for both job seekers and employers.
- Provides admin management for users, jobs, resumes, and blogs.
- Allows job seekers to create public profiles, upload resumes, and track applications.
- Employers can search candidates, create job listings, and manage applications.
- Build a dynamic web platform that connects job seekers and employers.
- Enable job providers to post detailed job descriptions and view applications.
- Allow job seekers to search, apply, and upload resumes securely.
- Provide a feedback system for continuous improvement.
The system is divided into three roles:
-
Admin
- Manages categories, users, jobs, resumes, blogs, and overall system integrity.
-
Employer
- Posts jobs, manages applicants, and downloads resumes.
-
Job Seeker
- Searches jobs, uploads resumes, applies for positions.
