Abstract
The recruitment process in educational institutions is often inefficient, leading to difficulties for students in securing jobs and for recruiters in finding suitable candidates. Traditional placement methods involve excessive paperwork, manual tracking, and lack of proper communication, resulting in delays and errors. This paper presents the implementation of a Placement Cell Job Portal using the MERN (MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, Node.js) stack, designed to streamline and automate the placement process.The system facilitates real-time job postings, student profile management, recruiter interactions, and Training & Placement (T&P) officer functionalities. It allows students to register, apply for jobs, receive notifications, and track application status. Recruiters can post job openings, filter candidates, and manage hiring processes efficiently. Placement officers can monitor job postings, verify student details, and oversee recruitment activities.By leveraging role-based authentication, the system ensures secure data handling, allowing only authorized users to access relevant information. WebSockets-based notifications provide real-time updates to students regarding job applications and interview schedules. The job application filtering mechanism ensures that students see only relevant job listings based on their qualifications and interests.This implementation aims to reduce manual workload, improve efficiency, and provide an organized structure for job placements. The proposed system enhances data security, automates recruitment workflows, and bridges the communication gap between students, recruiters, and placement officers. The use of MongoDB for data storage, Express.js and Node.js for backend services, and React.js for an interactive UI ensures a seamless and responsive user experience. The project demonstrates how technology-driven recruitment systems can significantly improve the placement process in academic institutions.
