Design and Implementation of a Web-Based Job Portal System Using ASP.NET Core MVC

Abstract

The rapid advancement of web technologies has significantly transformed recruitment processes. Traditional hiring methods are often inefficient, time-consuming, and lack centralized management. This paper presents the design and implementation of a web-based job portal system developed using ASP.NET Core MVC and Entity Framework Core. The system enables employers to post job vacancies and job seekers to search and apply efficiently. In addition, this research includes a detailed literature survey of existing job portal systems, analyzing their architecture, features, and limitations. The proposed system focuses on scalability, usability, and efficient data handling. The results demonstrate improved performance in job search and application tracking compared to traditional methods. The system can be further enhanced with advanced features such as AI-based recommendations and resume parsing.

Introduction

The text discusses the growing use of web-based job portals in modern recruitment, replacing traditional manual processes that are inefficient and limited in reach. Online platforms provide centralized job management, faster access, and improved communication for both employers and job seekers.

The study reviews existing job portal systems, noting that most use MVC architecture and technologies like ASP.NET and SQL databases. While they offer core features such as job posting and applications, they often lack advanced filtering, personalization, and efficient data handling.

The research aims to design a scalable and user-friendly web-based job portal using ASP.NET Core MVC. Its objectives include improving job search functionality, application management, and overall user experience.

The proposed system uses MVC architecture with a technology stack including HTML/CSS, Bootstrap, ASP.NET Core, and SQL Server. It enables users to search jobs, apply online, and track applications efficiently. Despite improvements, the study highlights the need to address issues like scalability, user interface design, and system performance.

Conclusion

This research presents the design and implementation of a web-based job portal system using ASP.NET Core MVC. The system successfully improves recruitment efficiency by providing a centralized and user-friendly platform. The use of modern technologies ensures scalability and maintainability. Future enhancements can further improve system capabilities.
