Inspiration
Job searches are complicated for the employers and applicants. Employers should be able to easily sort through the many resumes given to them.
How we built it
Our team used Amazon Web Services to implement a chat bot with the Amazon Echo application. Asking simple questions, like "Alexa, find someone with five years of coding experience," will list fitting responses.
Challenges we ran into
Programming Alexa was difficult. Our team had very limited coding experience, but with our diverse array of talents we overcame our challenges and completed our project.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Our team, consisting of four strangers, came together and had a great time getting to know each other and enjoying Ram Hacks.
What we learned
Besides programming Alexa with AWS, we learned how to persevere and not give up when the code fails, because there's always a solution.
What's next for AlexaHookup
The next step would be to turn Alexa Hookup into a mobile app to make our service more readily available for applicants and employers.
