 ABSTRACT

The Online Job Portal Management System is a comprehensive web application designed to
streamline the process of job searching and recruitment for both job seekers and employers. In today's
digital age, an efficient online platform is essential for connecting qualified candidates with
prospective employers. This project aims to bridge the gap between job seekers and employers by
providing a user-friendly and interactive online job portal. This project is about the recruitment
process which is done online. The recruitment process here is handled by the system. This project will
allow the person to apply for a job in the company for the interested vacancy which would be
available at the company. The person will be having the account after registration and will be then
called the applied user. If he would be qualified, he would be interacting with the system for the
updates. The project is created for fulfilling the requests of the company managers so that the
recruitment module can be placed in the company’s website and the users who visit the website can
view the vacancies in the company and will be able to apply directly from remote place even. The
vacancies will be posted by the administrator on the basis of needs of the manpower in the company
The admin will have all rights of handling this process except the evaluation process as it is the
company specific and so the steps of the evaluation process cannot be predicted. It also includes the
layers at the admin side so the privileges will have great impact on the functionalities given to the
different levels of admin. The privileges will be user specific, so different admin even at same level
will have different privileges and so different functionalities. The higher level admin will handle
whole system by himself. Although the lower level admin is given such privileges that he can send
any kind of request to the higher level admin. The higher level admin can approve or disapprove the
request. Whatever the result of the request approval, the notification will be sent to the lower level
admin. This project plays main role at admin side for recruitment process. The start dates and end
dates for applications’ acceptance, the grace period, the job vacancies’ postings, modifying the
privileges etc. are the special features of this system
