Summary
Jobi is an advanced job portal website designed to streamline the hiring process for employers and provide a comprehensive job search experience for candidates.
The Mission/Challenge
The mission was to create a user-friendly job portal that connects job seekers with employers, allowing for easy job posting and application management. The goal was to develop a platform that supports both job seekers and employers with features like job listings, application tracking, and user authentication.
Key challenges included ensuring secure user authentication, implementing a robust search functionality for job listings, and creating an intuitive user interface that caters to both job seekers and employers.
The Process
The development of Jobi involved several key steps to ensure its success:
Product Planning
Mapped out core functionalities like job listing, application management, and user role differentiation through brainstorming sessions and wireframes.
Agile Development
Adopted a weekly sprint model with continuous integration on GitHub to manage features and track progress effectively.
Technology Evaluation
Compared Firebase and MongoDB for data storage before finalizing MongoDB due to flexibility with Clerk for scalable authentication.
After extensive research, we selected [key technologies and why]:
▹Front-End: Chose Next.js + TypeScript for SSR, routing, and type safety.
▹Back-End: Selected MongoDB + Clerk for flexible data modeling and secure auth.
▹Styling: Used Bootstrap + Sass for fast and consistent UI development.
Key Development Aspects

Dynamic job search with keyword and category filtering, powered by MongoDB full-text indexing.

Optimized images and layouts with Next.js and Bootstrap to ensure a smooth user experience on all screen sizes.
The Result
