  • Security guard
  • Cook
  • Peon
  • Mechanic

For Job Seeker

  1. Register
  2. Update Profile
  3. Apply on jobs – just by clicking – as simple as that.
  4. The applicant gets an SMS on his/her phone number after applying to a job. ![SMS TO APPLICANT]

For Job Poster

  1. Post Jobs
  2. Get applications on your posted jobs and shortlist.
  3. Ease the flow for both parties
    • Job Seekers Profiles will be available all throughout, Recruiters can directly see their profiles and give them a message/call
  4. Job Poster gets an email when someone applies on a job posted by him/her. ![MAIL TO RECRUITER]

Problems in Existing Solutions

  • Little Less user friendly for maybe not so literate people
  • Complicated Process – Job Portal for Unorganized Sector dont have a resume.
  • All in English
  • Lack of Support on chat/call

Pending Tasks

  • Unit Tests – Due to shortage of time, I couldn’t write many unit-test.
  • Login Sessions and Dashboard of Applications

Additional Features to be added after Hackathon:

  • Multi-lingual
  • Filters according to location, salary etc.
  • Stars/Reviews for job seekers
  • Register by calling also (for job seekers) – simply call on a support number and automated clicks on phone
