Connect

To Streamline The Hiring Process

Comment

Inspiration

The project was inspired by the ever-increasing difficulty of finding jobs. I wanted to make a tool to streamline the hiring process.

What it does

Connect allows users to upload job postings with a set of required skills, and allows users to update their own profile with skills that they have. Machine Learning is used to generate matches between employers and employees, where once both parties see the match and wish to work with each other, they can message each other to arrange an interview.

How I built it

The frontend was built with HTML, CSS and Javascript, and the backend was built using python websockets.

Challenges I ran into

Two major challenges I ran into were system contraints and the time constraints of the hackathon. Due to the short duration of the hackathon, it was incredibly difficult to implement everything in time. Originally, the project was supposed to be a mobile App, however due to system constraints, and incompatability between windows and XCode, a web application was created instead.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I am proud of successfuly putting together all the parts for such an interesting project within the span of 1 weekend.

What I learned

Throughout the hackathon, I improved my understanding of python websocket servers.

What's next for Connect

The next step for Connect is creating a mobile app for the application.
