Open source CMS tool for web based job portal and recruitment system

Abstract

Proposed system is about developing an open source CMS tool for web based job portal and recruitment system with its supporting multimedia based source system. Nowadays most of the companies are having websites and they post their vacancies through their own web sites or they pay for famous job portal websites and also use social media to get right candidates. But it does not fulfill their expectations completely. Companies are wasting their valuable time and money to find right candidates. It is needed to develop an advanced system for the companies who want to hire employees and for the jobseekers who want new job opportunities. Nowadays, CMS are popular since we can develop and manage the system easily while compared to traditional development process. In this project, I have implemented an open source CMS tool for Job portal and recruitment system for companies, agencies and freelance job portal developers. It provides a platform to start their own online web based job portal and recruitment system where jobseekers and employees can interact with each others in efficient way. The system is ameliorated using apache web server as the server environment, PHP as the development language and MYSQL as the database management system to provide a low cost efficient solution for the client. Supporting system is developed with PHP, MYSQL, Adobe Flash and captured videos. By using smooth simple user interfaces and functionalities in order to use the system efficiently and giving an economical solution for companies. The proposed system concludes job posting, applying for job, viewing applied jobs, Email notifications for each activities, creating resume, checking the status of applied job, scheduling interviews and so on successfully. Open source CMS tool for web based job portal and recruitment system provides ability to improve the functionality of the recruitment rather than manual in a company. So it improves the company’s standard also. It provides related hands-on trainings and awareness which makes sense in human resource management team who have lack of knowledge IT. Trough this system, job posters and job seekers can use the technology in a new dimension and fulfill their needs in an efficient way.
