Problem

Finding a suitable job out in the job search market takes MASSIVE AMOUNT of time and effort.

In addition:

Many jobs are not found at all or even completely left outside of the scope of conducting research, because job applicants are not equipped with knowledge on keywords to find fitting jobs.
Job posts are far from transparency on the metrics that actually matter to job seekers; Company culture & who are the colleagues, company financial success, what the job is actually like.

Solution

JobJob matches your online profile (i.e. CV & Facebook-profile) and basic job search data (skills, desires and hopes for professional development) with personalized job posts tailored to take your professional life to the next level.

JobJob automatically highlights the relevant corporate information (key financials, # of employees, company culture, company reviews, skills needed for the job post...) along the job post, to give users a real glimpse into what the company and the job post is truly about.

The main features of the first semi-functioning prototype:

Login with Facebook
Automatic tailoring of job posts (from Duunitori API) based on your profile
Algorithmic calculation of most suitable jobs for you
Easy suggestive search functionality
Scraping of company data from Vainu API
Like job posts to signal interest
Bookmark job posts to save for later
Message employer directly to initiate the next step in the recruitment process
Tweak your profile where needed

JobJob offers streamlined tools to signal interest towards certain job posts, making the whole process of seeking a job feel like next century User Experience.

I worked on the backend, API interaction implementations and machine learning conceptualization and implementation

Karim Amzil
I worked mainly on the frontend functionality and implemented the basic features of the JobJob such as login, profile and data presentation from the available APIs (duunitori, vainu) by using modern Web technologies (JavaScript, React, Redux-Saga). Also helped other team members in some challenges and setup our dev environment.

Mikael Linko
Key focus for me was to concept the job search, wireframe it, help in parsing which data was relevant, tutoring on recruitment and to aid in front end development (style and logic).
