Orienta

Inspiration

Firstly: Improving Cv
I wanted to improve the job search process on modern platforms like LinkedIn, Indeed, etc.
Often, people upload their CVs but feel they have little chance of getting the job due to constraints like required experience or education. This is especially true for recent graduates who struggle to find work due to lack of experience.

To address this, I created the CV creation feature, which I implemented easily by finding code on GitHub. Users can create a professional CV quickly and efficiently.

Additionally, I developed the training search feature for a job based on a CV. This helps individuals increase their chances of landing a position by identifying missing skills and suggesting relevant certifications. This is how the training search functionality was born.

Secondly: Simplifying Job Search
The idea came to me when I broke my phone. Searching for a job was my first thought to earn money for the repair. However, internet searches took too much time, and Google results were often mediocre.

I decided to simplify job searching using a CV: the user uploads their CV to the platform, and boom—they get job listings matching their profile.
If they are not satisfied, optimized search queries for Google are also available.

Thirdly: Recruiter Space
I initially thought about the circular economy and wanted to showcase the CVs on the platform. This led to the creation of a recruiter space to highlight the large number of user CVs. Recruiters can directly contact users by viewing the information on their CV if they have not yet found a job.

How We Built It

We built Orienta using a combination of advanced AI tools and APIs:

Gemini: for CV analysis, identifying strengths and gaps in skills.
OpenAI: to generate optimized Google search queries.
Google Search API: to perform fast and relevant job searches on the web.

Challenges We Ran Into

I built the platform while attending school, so managing my time between school and the project was challenging.
Initially, I gave a CV to ChatGPT to search for jobs, but the results were limited and inconsistent depending on the conversation.
That’s why I integrated the Google Search API. Finding this solution took the most time because I explored multiple platforms and sites to identify the best approach for job search.

Accomplishments That We’re Proud Of

I am very proud of the complete platform: from CV creation, job and training search, to the development of the recruiter space.

What We Learned

During this period, I learned a lot: front-end, back-end, website design research, integrating AI (OpenAI, Gemini), and using Google Search.
Almost everything was new during the creation of this platform.

What’s Next for Orienta

I want to add a project sharing space for users.
This will allow users to share projects and collaborate, providing hands-on experience, fostering the Orienta community, and encouraging collaboration.
It could also attract potential investors for project creators and generate a revenue stream within the platform.
