Abstract
The “Android Campus Recruitment System” is designed to streamline the recruitment process for colleges and universities by providing a mobile-based platform where students can register, update their profiles,
apply for jobs, and participate in campus placements. The system allows companies to post job openings, review student profiles, schedule interviews, and manage the selection process. The platform enhances the efficiency of campus recruitment by automating many of the manual processes, providing real-time updates, and f
acilitating better communication between students, placement officers, and recruiters.
Existing System
This process is time-consuming, prone to errors, and often lacks transparency. Students may miss out on opportunities due to delays in communication or incomplete information. Companies also face challenges in efficiently managing the large volume of applications and scheduling interviews.
Proposed System
The proposed “Android Campus Recruitment System” aims to digitize and automate the entire campus recruitment process. Through the Android app, students can create and update their profiles, upload resumes, and apply for jobs with just a few taps. Companies can post job openings, review applications, shortlist candidates, and schedule interviews through an integrated dashboard. Placement officers can oversee the entire process, communicate with students and recruiters, and generate reports. The system ensures that all stakeholders have access to real-time information, making the recruitment process more efficient, transparent, and user-friendly.
