PROJECT BRIEF

Y-Connect is an online job portal website. Any user can view and search jobs from available pool though they have to register themselves as a Job-Seeker or Employer to utilize the full potential of its service offerings.

The system will authenticate a user as an Employer or a Job Seeker with email/password combination and navigates to a relative interface based on user-type. After passing through authentication, the system provides other features like, Job-seeker can save job search and job which he/she wants to apply in immediate future on top of what it is offering to guest users. They can also manage their job preferences from my profile section which will help the system understand the user’s interest and show relative job search for the very first time.

The employer gets a separate section that Job-seeker cannot access, from where one can fill in the job openings of his/her organization. Super admin will first review the job description before posting on-site to make sure it follows the system’s strict guidelines and has provided enough information for the job seeker to understand and apply.

Challenges We Overcome

The client has provided shared hosting with no SSH support. It was difficult to manage code base especially Laravel packages and database connection information which Laravel manages through CLI commands if SSH access provided.
Had to study and follow rules of shared hosting to install and enable SMTP on a server to in-system mail sending features.
