Abstract - This paper presents andemphasizes theneedfor an online employment posting platform for colleges and the efficacy of such a system in connecting students with job possibilities. Historically, Human Resource management has utilized employment websites for candidate sourcing and placement. The current project is an employment website developed for one of the most prestigious engineeringschools, which is a variant of such job boards tailored to service the students of the institution. With functions such as job suggestions provided offering learners recommendations basedontheir skills andcandidatefilteringtoaidemployersin application matchmaking, the platform is anticipated to be useful for both students investigating job opportunities and employers locating candidates who are appropriate to the position.

Key Words: job portal, human resources management, application matchmaking, employment recommendation, recruitment

1. INTRODUCTION

Thousands of employment sites have been created as a result of the achievement of employment boards in narrowingthedisparitybetweenjobseekersandemployers. Duetoariseinunemployment,itbecameapparentthatjob sites were necessary. In some countries where positions wereavailable,candidateswereunawareofthemduetoa lackofeffectivecommunicationchannels[1].Duetothelack ofacommonplatformforbothemployersandjobseekers, communicationwaschallengingandtimelydisseminationof informationregardingjobopeningswasimpossible.

With the development of web technologies and the widespread availability of the internet, the prevalence of businessapplicationsandenterprisesystemsincreased.It was determined that such a system is required to assist businessesandorganizationsinexpandingandconnecting withmanpowerresourcestodiscoverthebestcandidates.In addition, the rising unemployment rate and difficulties in obtaining employment contributed to the development of employmentwebsites[2].Thus,employmentboardsandjob search engines arose, many of which list job openings in specificindustries,suchaseducation,healthcare,hospital management,academia,andthenon-governmentalsector. The purpose of these employment sites was to assist job seekers in locating better jobs and employers in locating bettercandidates[3].

Today's employment websites offer a variety of services, from simple search engines to career counselling and

interviewing.Numerouswebportals,includingJobsNepal1, merojob2,merocareer3,andothers,havebeenestablishedin Nepalandofferavarietyofservices.However,thereisno job board or portal dedicated to serving college and universitystudentsindevelopingcountries,despitethefact that such systems are used in universities in developed nations.Thisinitiativewasmotivatedbytherolethatsuch systems can play in assisting students to interact with contemporary market demands.

Thepurposeofthissystemistoexpediteandstreamlinethe traditionalmethodofcollectingapplicationsandpostingjob announcements. The traditional methods of selecting candidates for a position are tedious, stressful, and ineffective [5]. The email-based announcements and application collection that is currently practiced, in which companies provide employment announcement emails/noticestogroupmailusingthecampusdepartment insteadofusinganindividualasanintermediary,hadmajor drawbacks,suchasmessagesgoingoverlookedbya lotof peoplebeingrequiredtosubmitaresumeindependentlyin responsetoeachjoboffer,etc.Likewise,fromtheemployer's perspective,ithadbeenchallengingtomaintaintrackofand evaluate all these applicants. The proposed system is anticipatedtobenefitbothcampusstudentsandcompanies seekingpotentialemployeesbyfacilitatingtheexplorationof current market demands requiring engineering solutions and by streamlining tasks such as employment announcements,applicantselection,andhiringprocedures. In addition, the system would be of tremendous help to campusdepartmentsintrackingstudentsthroughupdated CVs,evenaftergraduation.

The system is designed with three main perspectives for each end user: student, business, and administrator/department. The system offers customized search and filtering capabilities for each category of end user.Inadditiontobeingabletofilterjobpostingsbasedon criteria such as job type and location, students receive employment recommendations based on their skill set to assisttheseindividualsdiscoverpositionsthatsatisfytheir requirements.

2. LITERATURE REVIEW

Priortotheinventionoftheinternetandothertechnologies, a variety of methods were used to hire employees. These methods included newspaper, television, and radio advertisements,contactingcollegeofficials,andorganizing job fairs, among others [6]. These conventional recruiting practices were ineffectual and unproductive. Through the developmentofwebtechnologiesandtheproliferationofthe internet, numerous employment websites have emerged. Regardingtheavailabilityoffeatures,eachofthemcompeted withoneanother.Asmanybusinessesmergedandadaptedto meettherequirementsofjob-seekers,thesituationgradually stabilized.Regardingthejobrecruitmentprocedure,things have evolved over the past decade. The attitude of both employers and applicants has shifted. People spend more time on the internet today. Also, the internet is swiftly expandingandbecomingmoreaffordable,whichhasmadeit a reliable and effective resource for job seekers. They can readilyfindjob-relatedinformationontheinternetthrougha varietyofwebsites.

E-recruitment systems are especially beneficial for college students who use the Internet frequently. Although the developmentof the Internethasgreatlyaidedjob seekers, traditional methods of hiring still exist. Also, interviews continuetoberecognizedasthemosteffectivemethodfor identifying the best candidate for a job. Developing a job recruitmentapplicationwithoutfirstanalyzingthecurrent situation and environment may not aid in combating unemployment. A thorough investigation is required to determinetheintentionsofbothjobseekersandemployers, as well as their familiarity with the current system. This assists in determining the effectiveness of a web-based employment system. It still has quite a ways ahead of it. While certain companies invest enormous sums in online recruitment,theirresultsarevariable.

3. SYSTEM OVERVIEW

This application aims to eliminate the manual process of employing university students and provide each student withanequalopportunitytofindasuitableposition.

The creation of this system is inspired by experience in a real-world setting. There are three main agents in this system. They are corporations, students, and university personnel. It aids in preserving their coordination. In addition to monitoring their students, university administrationoverseestheactivitiesofbothbusinessesand students. Students are provided with a user-friendly interface for searching, viewing, and applying for suitable employment. There are no posting fees for employers. In addition, there does not exist a limit on how many jobs a company may publish. Consequently, this increases the likelihoodofmorepositionsappearingalongwithadditional candidatesbeinghired.

After establishing a new account, students are required to verify their email address to ensure it belongs to the university domain. Organizations additionally generate fresh accounts to discover the most qualified candidatesfor open positions.
