Program Features

• HR coordinators can add their company to the job portal and post jobs.
• Applicants can apply to jobs and upload the required documents by submitting a local path to the file. Required documents are copied into a folder (with generated file name “userid_filetype_jobpostingid.txt”) within the project, and can be pushed/pulled and accessed by another computer.
• Interviewers can recommend or reject applicants that they have been assigned to interview.
• There are four options to assign interviewers to interviews, including: a) Automatic selection from roster b) Prioritization based on interviewer rating or experience c) Interviewer self-signup d) HR prompted to select interviewers
• Applicants can filter job postings by tags, titles, days left to apply, requirements, companies, and more.
• HR Coordinators can view applicant documents (text documents will be printed in the console).
• HR Coordinators can generate Interviewer accounts with a random password, and Interviewers will be prompted to change their name and password when setting up a new account. This prevents Applicants from creating their own Interviewer accounts and hiring themselves on behalf of the company.
• Both Applicants and HR Coordinators can give Interviewers a rating from 1-10.
• Interview types and required documents are dynamic and customizable.
• The program is serialized upon logging out so all data is saved.
• Applicants are notified when they are hired for a job.
• Hiring happens automatically when the number of applicants left in the applicant pool after a round of interviews equals the number of openings for a job posting.

Testing example

Upon running src.main.Main, make the following inputs for a full run-through of the job hiring process, from HRCoord account creation to notifying an Applicant that they have been hired.

1. Creating HRCoord account: >y >Ben >n >BK >123

2. Creating new JobPosting: >Online >q >1 >a >Chef >CV >q >10 >food >1 >1 >2 >1 >1 >-1

3. Generate Interviewer account: >8 (please record the UserID and Password for later)

4. Logout: >9 >no

5. Creating Applicant account: >y >Ben >y >123 >CV.txt (preferably upload real paths here) >CL.txt

6. Applying to a JobPosting: >1 >a >2 >100 >1 >CV.txt >4

7. Logout: >7 >no

8. Log back into HRCoord and start Interviews: >n >100000 >123 >4 >100 >9 >no

9. First time logging in as an Interviewer: >n >(input the UserID and Password from "Generate Interviewer account") >Ben >(input Password again) >123

10. Interview and recommend/hire an Applicant: >1 >1 >-1 >2 >y >100002 >100 >-1

11. Logout: >5 >no

12. Log back into Applicant and see application status: >n >100002 >123 >4

Congrats! The applicant has been hired for that job. To save your progress at any time, enter the option for "log out" and then type "true" to quit the program and serialize your data.
