Chapter 1: Introduction

1.1 Introduction

Jobseeking websites are on-line platforms that connect businesses or individuals with
freelance workers who provide a variety of services, ranging from writing and design to
programming and marketing. These sites have become increasingly popular in recent
years due to the growing demand for remote work and the flexibility it provides. One of
the most well-known freelancing websites is.FlexiHire is a Jobseeking website that aims
to combine the functionalities of Upwork and. It provides a comprehensive platform for
freelancers and employers, merging job search and project management features with
professional networking capabilities.

1.2 Problem Statement

The freelancing system encounters an issue of not having a unified and easy, to use
platform that effectively caters to the requirements of both freelancers and employers.
This system may have limitations when it comes to job search capabilities, project
management functionalities, professional networking features and mechanisms for
building trust. Freelancers often face challenges in finding job opportunities that align
with their skills and preferences. The existing system might have limited search
capabilities resulting in matching between freelancers and available projects.
Trustworthiness and reputation play a role in the freelancing industry; however, the
existing system may not have mechanisms to verify the abilities of freelancers or ensure
reliable performance. Freelancers and employers may struggle to evaluate each other’s
trustworthiness often relying on factors or external references.
In summary there is a gap in the freelancing system as it lacks a comprehensive and
userfriendly approach to address the challenges faced by both freelancers and employers.
An improved system is needed that offers job search functionality, project management
tools robust professional networking features, as well as reliable mechanisms, for
building trust and managing reputation.

1.3 Objectives

The objective of the project can be stated as:

 To post Freelancer and Employment by recommending both using

collabarative Algorithm.
 To post the job vacancies for the user and apply the job vacancies by the user

1.4 Scope and Limitation

1.4.1 Scope

The website would include user registration functionality, allowing freelancers and
employers to create personalized profiles. Users can provide information about their
skills, experience, qualifications, and portfolio.
FlexiHire would enable employers to post job listings, specifying project requirements,
budgets, and timelines. Freelancers can search for relevant projects based on their skills,
location, and preferences.
FlexiHire would enable employers to post job listings, specifying project requirements,
budgets, and timelines. Freelancers can search for relevant projects based on their skills,
location, and preferences.
Freelancers would have the ability to submit proposals for job listings, including details
about their qualifications, experience, and proposed pricing. Employers can review
proposals and select the most suitable freelancers for their projects.
1.4.2 Limitations

Job portals often provide generic suggestions, failing to match a candidate's unique skills
and aspirations accurately.
With thouPR Managers applying to the same roles, it becomes challenging for candidates
to stand out on popular platforms.
Some websites fail to update their listings regularly, leading applicants to apply for roles
that are already filled.
Unsuspecting job seekers may encounter fraudulent postings or irrelevant opportunities,
wasting time and posing risks.

2
1.5 Development Methodology

The job-seeking platform enhances efficiency by offering a seamless process for reducing time
wastage in job searches. With a robust database management system, it ensures efficient tracking and
improves the job-matching process, benefiting users by providing convenience at their fingertips. The

2.1 Background Study

System requirements are a critical aspect of any software development project. These
requirements define the technical specifications of the system, including the hardware and
software requirements, functional requirements, and performance requirements. Here's a
report on the system requirements for the proposed freelancing website that combines
features of Linked-in and Freelancer with the existing system of Up-work:

Study of Existing System

1. Upwork
Upwork is one of the largest freelancing platforms that connects businesses with
freelancers. It offers a variety of services in various industries. Clients can hire
freelancers for almost any work project involving writing, design, programming,
marketing, etc.

[1] Features:

3.1.2 Feasibility Analysis

Feasibility analysis is an important process in determining whether a proposed system is

practical and viable. Here's a feasibility analysis for the proposed freelancing website that
combines features of Linked-in and Freelancer with the existing system of Up-work:
1.Technical
The proposed system would require the integration of the features of Linked-in and
Freelancer into the existing system of Up-work, which would require significant technical

9
expertise. The integration process would need to be seamless and without any disruptions
to the current system. However, the technical feasibility is high, given that Up-work has a
robust API that enables third-party integrations, and the required technologies are widely
available.

2.Operational
The platform's core functionality, such as job posting, proposal submission, and payment
processing, is already in place in the existing system of Up-work. The proposed features,
such as project management and professional networking, would require additional
resources, but the benefits of these features would significantly improve the platform's
usability and functionality.
Hence, the proposed system is operationally feasible.
3.Economic
The economic feasibility of the proposed system is high. The addition of new features and
improvements to the existing system would increase the platform's appeal and attract new
users. This would result in increased revenue from fees and commissions charged to
employers and freelancers, as well as from premium subscription plans. Hence, we can
conclude that the proposed system is economically feasible.
4.Schedule (Gantt Chart)
The project expands over a period of 75 days with Task being divided along with duration
in the time frame. In order for the system to be delivered in the specified time frame we
have to make sure deadlines are met and tasks are executed accordingly in the specified
duration period.

4.2 Algorithm Details

Collaborative filtering
Collaborative filtering (CF) is a technique used by recommender systems. Collaborative
filtering is the process of filtering for information or patterns using techniques involving
collaboration among multiple agents, viewpoints, data sources, etc. Application of
Collaborative filtering methods typically involves very large data sets. Collaborative
filtering has been applied to many different kinds of data including: sensing and
monitoring data, such as in mineral exploration, environment sensing; financial data; or in
electronic commerce and web application where the focus is on user data, etc. [9]

User Based Collaborative Filtering

User-Based Collaborative Filtering is a technique used to predict the items that a user
might like on the basis of ratings given to that item by the other users who have similar
taste with that of the target user. Many websites use collaborative filtering for building
their recommendation system. [10]

Source Code:
// Function to fetch recommendations
FUNCTION fetchRecommendations
// Check if a user is currently logged in
IF currentUser EXISTS THEN
// Get references to the user interactions collection in the database
SET interactionsRef TO collection('userInteractions')

// Query the database for interactions by the current user

SET q TO query(interactionsRef, where('userId', '==', currentUser.uid))
SET querySnapshot TO await getDocs(q)

// Extract post IDs from the current user's interactions

SET interactedPostIds TO querySnapshot.docs.map(FUNCTION(doc) RETURN
doc.data().postId)

21
 // Fetch interactions from other users
SET similarUsersInteractions TO await getDocs(collection('userInteractions'))
SET recommendedPostIds TO new Set()

// Iterate over each interaction by other users

FOR EACH doc IN similarUsersInteractions.docs DO
SET data TO doc.data()
// Check if the user is different and has interacted with the same posts
IF data.userId != currentUser.uid AND interactedPostIds INCLUDES data.postId
THEN
// Add the post ID to recommended post IDs
recommendedPostIds.add(data.postId)
END IF
END FOR

// Filter out posts already interacted by the current user

SET recommendations TO posts.filter(FUNCTION(post) RETURN
recommendedPostIds.has(post.id))

// Update the recommended posts state

setRecommendedPosts(recommendations)
END IF
END FUNCTION

Chapter 5: Implementation and Testing
5.1 Implementation

5.1.1 Tools Used

Design & Development Tools Visual Studio Code

Visual Studio Code is “a free-editor that helps the programmer write code, helps in
debugging and corrects the code using the intelli-sense method”. In normal terms, it
facilitates users to write the code in an easy manner. Features including support for
debugging, syntax highlighting, intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring,
and embedded Git makes Visual Studio Code one of the most used code editors. Users
can change the theme, keyboard shortcuts, preferences, and install extensions that add
additional functionality.
In the project, Visual Studio Code was used as the main code editor to write the codes for
the platform. We chose Visual Studio Code as the primary code editor for the project as it
is an open-source software with a user-friendly interface and support for multiple
programming languages and added functionality like debugging, syntax highlighting,
intelligent code completion, snippets, code refactoring, embedded Git, etc.
Figma
Figma is a design platform for teams who build Jobss together. Born on the Web, Figma
helps teams create, share, test, and ship better designs from start to finish. Whether it’s
consolidating tools, simplifying workflows, or collaborating across teams and time zones,
Figma makes the design process faster, more efficient, and fun while keeping everyone
on the same page.
In the project, Figma was used as a tool to develop prototypes. We chose Figma as the
tool for prototyping as it is open source, easy to use, both desktop and web based with
proper syncing, easy sharing options, wireframing feature, vector based and easy
modification.
Front End Tools
A “front-end” application is one that applications & users interact with directly. It must
have a graphical user interface that assists employees that are not from IT background. It
must be scalable and flexible.

23
The front-end tools we have used in making this web application are:
React makes it painless to create interactive UIs. React designs a simple view for each
state in our application and efficiently update and render just the right component when
our data changes. Using React we build bunch of isolated and reusable components and
they are combined together to build user interfaces. There are several components in our
application, among which the app.js is main component. This component represents the
entire application and contains other child components. To work with these many
components, react is the best option for us.
Material UI
Material UI is an open-source project that features React components that implements
Google’s Material Design. Material UI is a component library for teeming with powerful
components that we can use in our projects. We have used Material UI in our project as it
has more customizable option.We have implemented Material UI for creating eye
catching website with bold color.
5.1.2 Back End

Firebase

Firebase is a comprehensive cloud-based platform provided by [3] for building web and
mobile applications. It offers a variety of tools and services that simplify and accelerate
the development process. Firebase includes features like real-time database,
authentication, hosting, storage, cloud functions, and more. In your project, you are
already using Firebase for Firestore (a NoSQL database) and Firebase Authentication.
DotNet
.NET is an open-source framework by Microsoft for building web, mobile, desktop, and
cloud applications. It supports languages like C# and offers tools like ASP.NET (for web
apps), Entity Framework (for databases), and Blazor (for web UIs). In your project, .NET
likely handles backend tasks like API development and database interactions.
Postgresql
PostgreSQL is an open-source, powerful relational database management system known
for its robustness and extensibility. It supports SQL for querying and managing data,
along with advanced features like transactions, indexing, and support for JSON and XML
data types. PostgreSQL is highly suitable for complex queries, large datasets, and multi-
user environments, making it popular for web, mobile, and enterprise applications. In
24
your project, PostgreSQL likely handles tasks like data storage, retrieval, and complex
query operations, providing a reliable backend for managing structured data.

Chapter 6: Conclusion and Future Recommendations
6.1 Conclusion

The objective of the freelancing platform is to enhance user experience by employing a

collaborative algorithm to recommend both freelancers and job opportunities, thereby
streamlining the process of posting and applying for job vacancies. This approach not
only simplifies job posting for employers and job-seeking for users, but it also ensures
that the most relevant matches are made, fostering a more efficient and effective job
market within the platform.

6.2 Future Recommendations

To make a job-seeking website better, you should add features for easy and secure
payments, like Khalti,esewa., mobile wallets. Also, offer subscription plans and options
for multi-currency transactions. Use AI to match job seekers with jobs, screen resumes,
provide personalized job suggestions, and use chatbots for customer support. This way,
the website becomes efficient, user-friendly, and keeps up with job market trends.
