ABSTRACT
Web based recruitment portal is a web based
application that monitors the recruitment process of any organization
online. It has the features that allow
the user to apply for job online. When
application is sent through the web portal, based on the requirement of the
said job description, the portal screens the candidate and determines whether
or not the applicant is qualified. If
the applicant is not qualified, the portal rejects the application and returns
a feedback to the user, else the applicant’s information will be sent to the
portal’s database, where the administrator can access notify the applicant of a
date of an interview. The web based recruitment portal is or should be
recommended for every organization in their personnel department because it
will ease the stress of the personnel managers and as well help them to select
the suitable people to suit the position. This web portal will be developed
using dream weaver platform and the scripting writing with PHP server
technology. The database will be
administered using mySQL.
KEY WORDS; Web, Recruitment, Portal, Application, Dream

CHAPTER ONE
INTRODUCTION
1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
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 glob. 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.
A web portal, also known as a links page,
presents information from diverse sources in a unified way. Apart from the
standard search engine feature, web portals offer other services such as
e-mail, news, stock prices, information, databases and entertainment. Portals
provide a way for enterprises to provide a consistent look and feel with access
control and procedures for multiple
applications and databases, which otherwise would have been different entities
altogether.
1.2 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
Individual websites need to be created so that clients
can access their desired information directly.
1.2.1 Solution
The use of metadata and ontologies will enable to
model the company organization and to relate these concept to the information.
1.3
OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY
The practical objective of this work is to design and
implement an online recruitment portal. One of the most important objectives of
this project is to contribute to academic research work while the subsidiary
objectives include;
·
to
help employers to post their job offers online and search their database to
find people who best suit their vacant job positions.
·
providing
the possibility for job seekers to build their curriculum vitae (CVs) online,
look for new job opportunities in industries and organizations, get e-mail
notifications of interesting job vacancies and apply directly through the
website.
·
to
help organizations attract, test, recruit, employ and retain quality staff with
minimal amount of administration.
·
to
reduce or totally remove IM that goes amongst the recruitment agents or
personnel managers.
1.4
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
If this prototype is fully developed will be very
useful in many areas such as:
a.
It
will ease the work of the personnel department of the any organization.
b.
It will create more employment opportunities
for our youths.
c.
The
government can also review and deploy it to other sectors.
d.
Private
individuals can also find it interesting
1.5
SCOPE OF THE STUDY
This project will go as far as deploying web
technologies in the implementation.
Dreamweaver will be use as the major development
tool. Database connection using MySQL
will extensively be covered in this work.
Studies were carried out in the various institutions
that conduct interviews and recruitments.
The scheme used is closed tag to the information collected at the point
of this research. All forms and
database designed followed the pattern of the manual means by the employers of
labour.
This project was deployed using a local sever, which
runs on a stand alone Pc and not deployable to the internet.
1.6
LIMITATION OF THE STUDY
The study was limited by several factors, of which
some posed serious constraints towards the development of the project. One of the major drawbacks was due to
financial incapacitation. This is among
other frustrations such as program failures during modular construction stages.
In ability to procure personal internet access for
uploading made it difficult for the deployment at testing stag.
Again was the distance and availability of research
materials. It was absolutely difficult
to source most of the important information needed for this work. For instance, collection of information that
helped me to develop the forms and database was another serous issue.
1.7
DEFINITION OF TERMS / VARIABLES
RECRUITMENT: This refers to the process of
attracting, screening and selecting qualified people for a job at an
