Problem statement of the client
India’s leading non-profit industry association, NASSCOM, had quite a few issues due to its manual procedures & offline approach.
Reaching out to the maximum number of people is crucial for any organization conducting career fairs. However, our client’s career fairs have a lesser reach as they have been conducted offline in remote areas of the country.
The major challenge faced by the client was the inability to connect the right candidates to the appropriate employers. This was because they followed tedious manual procedures for candidate matching.
Another challenge was that any proposed solution had to comply with the QP (Qualification Pack) & NoS (National Occupational Standards) system, ensuring alignment with government regulations and policies.
Another challenge was that any proposed solution had to comply with the QP (Qualification Pack) & NoS (National Occupational Standards) system, ensuring alignment with government regulations and policies.
Here are the steps we followed to resolve the issues faced by the client:
After connecting with the client, our team delved deep into understanding the client’s challenges and business framework. We conducted comprehensive research on the latest trends in the recruitment world, followed by a meticulous analysis and brainstorming session based on the client’s needs.
After gaining a complete understanding of the client’s requirements, our team stepped in to create a mock-up of the possible solutions. We presented them with a basic design outline to overcome the client’s challenges.
Our development team developed the web portal – Talent Connect with all the features. The solution involves the use of AI for perfect candidate matching with gamification to motivate candidates to complete certificate courses. There is also the provision to upload bulk candidates.
Our team has used the latest technology to bring this project to life. We created an effective and robust web portal for the client that was way beyond their expectations and performed well with the help of the following:
Next.js is a renowned framework built atop React.js, aimed at streamlining the development of server-rendered React applications. Next.js offers integrated server-side rendering, ensuring enhanced performance and SEO benefits. Additionally, it supports static site generation, which is optimal for pages that don’t require real-time data fetching. A distinct feature is its automatic code splitting, ensuring that only essential JavaScript loads for any page and promoting faster page loads.
Node is a cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that is open source. Developers can run JavaScript code on the server side using it. Traditionally, JavaScript was used primarily on the browser side (client side). With Node.js, JavaScript can also be used on the server side, bridging the gap between front-end and back-end development and allowing for more unified and efficient web application development.
MongoDB is a popular open-source, cross-platform NoSQL database system. It uses a document-oriented data model and is written in C++. Unlike conventional relational databases that store data in tables, MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents with varied structures. This flexibility means that data can be stored in a way that aligns more naturally with how developers think and code their applications.
Flutter is an open-source UI toolkit developed by Google, designed for crafting natively compiled applications across mobile, web, and desktop from a singular codebase. Leveraging the Dart programming language, Flutter prioritizes performance, resulting in apps that run seamlessly and efficiently. While it provides a unified code foundation for both Android and iOS, Flutter ensures that the app performance remains optimal and the appearance adheres to platform-specific design principles.
Redis, which stands for “Remote Dictionary Server,” is an open-source, in-memory data structure store that you can employ as a database, cache, and message broker. It supports various data structures, including strings, hashes, sets, sorted sets with range queries, lists, bitmaps, and geospatial indexes with radius queries. It is known for its exceptional speed, making it ideal for tasks requiring fast data access. It serves a variety of use cases, from caching data to lessen database strain to managing sessions, message queues, and pub/sub operations.
AI or Artificial Intelligence simulates human intelligence, enabling machines to perform tasks that usually require human cognition, such as problem-solving, pattern recognition, and decision-making. Machine Learning (ML), a subset of AI, involves using algorithms that allow machines to improve their performance on a task through experience or by processing and learning from data.
After deeply understanding the client’s needs, we developed a web portal. Our portal is a practical solution to the problems faced by the client. So, let us focus on the solution one by one:
Our portal provides AI-backed suggestions for candidates and employer that help candidates get the best job suggestions & employer get the best candidate for an opening. The level of matching in both cases helps make informed decisions for applying for the job & hiring.
There’s the linking of candidate data from the FutureSkills Prime portal to ‘Talent Connect’, which we created. The gamification enables candidates to apply for jobs based on their certification status. It works well as a motivation factor for candidates. Those certified by the FutureSkills Prime portal can apply to any number of jobs on Talent Connect.
The training Partner module of our portal enables training partners across domains to upload bulk candidates on the portal and track their application and hiring process.
The portal allows candidates to search, filter, and apply for opportunities across the country per their preferences.
The portal finds and matches certified candidates best suited for their job openings.
Talent Connect was built keeping in mind the Qualification Pack(QP) and National Occupational Standards(NOS) approved by NCVET & Govt of India.
