Technologies Involved
Tag-Based System
The aim was to build a CMS Application which allows users (candidates) to create custom profiles which can be found by other users (employers) using a tag-based search function. This system is the core of the web app; its proper functioning ensures efficient performance of the search engine, which is a key element of the project.
User Profiles
Each user has a public profile page, which displays their personal information and can be updated at any time on the user dashboard. Profiles pages allow employers to view candidate details, and candidates may hide their profile from the database by one click on the Settings page. Each user has the ability to edit their account settings.
Employer Dashboard
The main beneficiary of the project are the employers, and therefore the functionality of the application is developed to meet their expectations. The user-friendly Employer Dashboard uses bespoke, customized Plugins; Search Widget, Insight Widget, Recommended Candidates Widget and Latest Candidates Widget.
Search Tools
Complex in its structure and simultaneously user-friendly, the search tool enables advanced filtering and sorting functionalities, and thanks to developed IT technologies, results shown in the subpage are refreshed automatically. Also, when the filters are selected, the number of candidates meeting this criterion appear next to them.
Messaging
Thanks to the internal messaging system implemented in the application, users have the possibility to directly contact and keep conversation threads with each other. On the messages sidebar there is a sidebar of the list of users to converse with and a central message window in which users chat, all designed according to the principles of UX and usability.
CMS - Content Management System
The whole application is managed by a backend management application system tailored to the client’s needs. The system provides the ability to manage user applications, modify the attributes of user profiles, alter the scope of search criteria and support the messaging system. The implementation is fully customized to the client’s and user’s needs.
