Introduction

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, the demand for skilled full-stack developers is
on the rise. To address this need, we present a comprehensive Full Stack Job Seeking
Application like "Techtrack", built using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js,
Node.js) stack. This project aims to provide a platform for job seekers and employers to
connect seamlessly, streamlining the recruitment process.
Overview:
The Full Stack Job Seeking Application serves as a bridge between job seekers and
employers, offering a user-friendly interface for both parties to interact efficiently. Job
seekers can create profiles, upload resumes, and search for job listings tailored to their skills
and preferences. Employers, on the other hand, can post job openings, browse through
candidate profiles, and manage their recruitment process effortlessly.
Technology Stack:
The project leverages the MERN stack, a popular choice for building dynamic web
applications due to its flexibility, scalability, and robustness. Here's a brief overview of the
technologies used:
MongoDB: A NoSQL database used for storing and managing job listings, candidate profiles,
and other application data.
Express.js: A minimalistic web application framework for Node.js, facilitating the creation of
robust APIs to handle HTTP requests and responses.
React.js: A powerful JavaScript library for building user interfaces, enabling the creation of
interactive and dynamic front-end components.
Node.js: A server-side JavaScript runtime environment that allows the execution of
JavaScript code outside a web browser, facilitating server-side logic and handling of backend
operations.
Field of Project:
The Full Stack Job Seeking Application primarily operates within the realm of human
resources and recruitment. By harnessing technology, it aims to streamline the job search
process for candidates while providing employers with a comprehensive platform to manage
their hiring needs efficiently.
Special Technical Terms:
Throughout the development process, several technical terms specific to web development
and the MERN stack may be encountered. These include but are not limited to RESTful
APIs, JWT (JSON Web Tokens) authentication, state management with redux, MongoDB
Atlas (cloud-hosted MongoDB service.

PROBLEM STATEMENT

Existing job portals face challenges in accurately matching technical students with suitable
positions, as they fail to differentiate jobs suitable for this demographic. Additionally, there is
a lack of a common platform for students and employers to engage in discussions about
market job trends and emerging technologies.

In today's rapidly evolving digital landscape, characterized by continuous technological

advancements and shifting market dynamics, the demand for proficient full-stack developers
is experiencing a notable upsurge. This surge is not merely a trend but a reflection of the
fundamental shift towards digitalization across industries worldwide. In response to this
burgeoning demand, we present a sophisticated and comprehensive solution: "Techtrack" - a
Full Stack Job Seeking Application meticulously architected and developed using the
versatile MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack.

Literature Survey

A STUDY OF ISSUES IN JOB PORTALS: RESEARCH ANALYSIS

Abstract:

In the digital era, the internet has become indispensable, especially for job-seekers who rely
on e-job portals to find employment. This paper aims to address the challenges faced by both
job-seekers and employers by developing a comprehensive job portal. Through surveys
conducted among various stakeholders, including job-seekers, students, employers,
freelancers, and contractors, this research identifies the shortcomings of existing portals and
proposes solutions. The developed portal integrates features to combat fraud, facilitate direct
hiring by job-seekers, and offer feedback mechanisms for rejected applications. By bridging
the gap between job-seekers and recruiters, the portal strives to enhance employment
opportunities and leverage modern technologies for societal benefit.

Conclusion:

This study underscores the importance of job portals in addressing unemployment challenges
by providing an efficient platform for job seekers and recruiters. By incorporating features
such as user verification, direct hiring privileges for job-seekers, and feedback mechanisms,
the developed portal aims to mitigate fraud and enhance transparency in the recruitment
process. However, it acknowledges that job portals alone cannot solve all unemployment
issues and suggests future enhancements, including AI integration, multi-language support,
and career counseling features, to further improve job matching and user experience.
