Abstract

The "Recruitment Race Application" is an innovative platform designed to enhance the student recruitment process by providing a comprehensive evaluation of student achievements and fostering a competitive environment among students, encouraging them to enhance their profiles to improve their chances of recruitment. Students can create detailed profiles that include a simple bio and a range of accomplishments such as CGPA, global certifications, course completion certificates, other certifications, and project work. To ensure a balanced assessment, the application assigns specific weightages to different achievements: CGPA (40%), global certifications (20%), course completion certificates (10%), other certifications (5%), and projects (25%). These weighted scores are then normalized to generate a rank for each student, facilitating a fair and equitable comparison. The application also features a dedicated login for placement heads, allowing them to upload information about internships and recruitment opportunities. This functionality is beneficial for both students and recruiters, as it enables recruiters to shortlist candidates based on a comprehensive view of their qualifications rather than solely on CGPA. Furthermore, the "Recruitment Race Application" fosters a competitive environment among students, encouraging them to enhance their profiles to improve their chances of recruitment.

Introduction

The Evolving Landscape of Student Recruitment

The student recruitment process is evolving rapidly, driven by the increasing complexity of job requirements and the diverse skills sought by employers. Traditional methods of evaluating candidates, primarily based on CGPA, are increasingly seen as inadequate. This paper introduces the "Recruitment Race Application," a platform designed to provide a more comprehensive and balanced assessment of student achievements.

Objectives of the Recruitment Race Application

The primary objectives of the Recruitment Race Application are:

  1. To provide a holistic evaluation of student achievements.
  2. To create a competitive environment that encourages students to improve their profiles.
  3. To offer placement heads a comprehensive tool for shortlisting candidates based on varied metrics.
  4. To enhance the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the recruitment process.

Background

The Need for Comprehensive Evaluation

Employers today seek well-rounded candidates with diverse skill sets and experiences. A heavy reliance on CGPA can overlook significant accomplishments in other areas such as certifications, projects, and extracurricular activities. A more holistic evaluation process can provide a more accurate picture of a candidate's capabilities and readiness for the job market.

Limitations of Existing Recruitment Platforms

Current student recruitment platforms often focus on specific metrics, lacking the ability to offer a balanced assessment of varied achievements. These platforms may not provide a competitive environment that motivates students to continuously improve their profiles. The Recruitment Race Application aims to fill these gaps by integrating multiple metrics into a single, cohesive system.

System Design

Overview

The Recruitment Race Application is designed with several key components to ensure a comprehensive and balanced evaluation of student achievements. These components include the student profile, weighted scoring system, placement head login, and an interactive user interface.
