Prudential challenge

What it does

The voice assistant helps a student search for internship opportunities available at http://jobs.prudential.com.

How we built it

  1. Built the Alexa dialog model in Alexa developer console
  2. Created the endpoint to handle the commands using Node.js in AWS lambda.
  3. Once the lambda receives the JobType and Location from the user, it would construct the corresponding ULR for http://jobs.prudential.com and crawl the HTML page.
  4. After we get the HTML page, we will parse it and find the titles for available internships.

Challenges we ran into

  1. Parse HTML page from http://jobs.prudential.com
  2. Build multi-turn interactive dialog for Alexa skill
  3. Debug AWS Lambda function

Accomplishments that we're proud of

It's working!

What we learned

  1. How to build a Alexa skill
  2. How to use AWS Lambda

What's next for Prudential Recruiter

  1. Support other jobs other than internship
  2. Help candidates know more about Prudential culture and interview process.
