CHAPTER ONE
GENERAL INTRODUCTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Technology is constantly changing; Society as we know depends on this fact. That which we take for granted
today would have been the stuff for science fiction as little as fifty years ago.
In the early years of the twenty first century, it is computer and the internet that have captured the public
imagination, and found their way into not just the working environments, but increasingly into the domestic
spaces.
In this modern society, if we are not capable to copy up with these changes then we are not going to stand or
survive anywhere in this technological world.
According to (Rothstein, 2011) On-line activities have in recent past replaced virtually every form of
transactions. This is because of the advent of the internet, which provides a global network connection for all
such activities. With this technology, many institutions have their tentacles spread across the globe.
In line with this trend, job search activities and job providers need to join the band wagon of the global
community in shearing their information across the internet. The project work is based on this notion.
Today there is no place for errors, so as to make a system more effective and efficient we need such technology
where errors prone chances must be least. In this scenario of this project, we are required to develop a web-based
job-search portal application.
In this time of recession where everyone, is either experienced or fresher, is in search for a job. This job portal
can prove to be helpful since it allows users of different profile to upload their CVs, search job on the basis of
their qualification.
Job Search Portal is a web application, which serves jobseekers to find available job vacancies and Employers to
identify eligible job seekers with the prospect of selecting the most qualified candidates.
The only way to select best-qualified candidate is to have a pool of eligible applicants, which is possible by
drawing the interest of individuals in the market. Job search portals best serve this purpose.
 E-recruitment has become the standard means for employers and job seekers to meet their respective objectives. 
The traditional methods for recruitment include Job fairs, University career employment services, Employee
referrals, advertising in the newspapers, televisions etc.
With the advancement in technology and growth of internet usage, the e-recruitment has revolutionized the way
organizations hire and candidates search for jobs. With the Online Job search portals, the recruitment process is
speeded up at every stage from job postings, to receiving applications from candidates, interviewing   process. 
The cost of searching /posting jobs will be much less compared to the traditional way of advertising. Job search
portal stands as an effective means for Employers to outline the job vacancies, responsibilities and qualifications
to attract job seekers.
Using the portal job-seekers can extensively search for jobs in companies, organizations and regions they may
otherwise have not learned.  In addition, candidates/Employers can write a review about an organization, which
might help them to change the way things are done.
The online job-search portal is a hub of information, which helps the job-seekers find available job vacancies
and Employers to identify eligible job seekers with the prospect of selecting the most qualified candidates. 
The system project is an online web and mobile application which can be opened anywhere with valid login
credentials. This project consists of 5 modules:  Admin, Employer, Job seeker. 
Jobseekers must be able to login and upload their Curriculum Vitae (CV). Employers may also login and access
or search any information uploaded by Job searchers. Overall it serves as a platform which accommodates to
post, assemble and search for the information required by job seekers and employers.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
The employment process has been manual in the past years. The traditional mode of employment takes a lot of
steps from advertisement, application, verifying of application and conducting interviews therefore consuming a
lot of time, effort and can be more costly
on both job seekers and employers. Applicants were required to search through Notice Board and visual media
for opportunities, most times this job were limited to the applicant’s location, Application were submitted using
the conventional methods which weren’t effective and efficient based on loss of document and many more.
The old system approach was tedious and requires much effort and resources, most times Employers need to
advertise the vacancies and sort all applicants’ details, conduct selections procedures based on qualifications.
