About This Site


This site represents a simple example of a recruitment site, designed to serve the needs of a recruitment agency and their clients. Although different agencies have differing practices, I have made this site with the flexibility of being customised for almost all recritment fields. Below is a summary of what the site enatails, how it was made and options available in the design and structure. The site willl be updated with new enhancments that I find are of benefit and I am open to suggestions for improvement from user (please feel free to contact me with any comments, questions or suggestions, either by using the contact form or E-mailing me direct.

General Site Structure

The Front-End (What the Users See)

The "front-end" of the web site will be the part that your users see. Apart from an efficient navigation system, visitors should find the site attractive and fast loading.

The Back-End (What Makes the Site Work)

The database and server side scripting comprise the "back-end" of the site. These components are what runs the functional value of the site, filtering and producing recordsets from queries and processing the forms.

Optional Functions and Modules

There a range of functions (or web processes) that can be implemented within a site such as this. As an example site which I would like clients to test and evaluate, I have taken a fairly simple approach, omitting the security processes that would normally be required such as the administrator's approval of new members and job postings before going live.

A commercial recruitment system may carry out their business by charging a fee for clients wishing to recruit new employees and/or make some sort of placement fee with the candidates if they are successful in gaining employment. Because of the interview and selection paths and the vetting of a client's company required in the recruiting field, there would be little need for an online payment system. However, including an online payment system is a viable option and can be readily integrated with the site, either as a "per vacancy posting" or as a membership/subscription system.

Other module based site add-ons could include mailing lists, automated forwarding of applications/CVs to subscribed clients, a latest new section, discussion forums and written articles of interest and related fields. Advertising revenue is another option for sites that are popular, enabling some well known and frequently visited web sites to exist without charging any fee to the users.

Technology and Hosting Requirements

The components used for this site include ASP (active Server Pages) and an Access database with the site being hosted on a Windows NT4 server.

The actual HTML, programming and image creation was completed using Macromedia's UltraDev 4, Flash 5 and FireWorks 4 along with some of the graphics designed with Adobe Illustrator and PhotoShop.
