OpenRec Project

Welcome in the OpenRec project page. In this page, we will manage the project, resources, requirement, repository and documents.

Abstract 

One of the most important things in our life is our jobs. Almost all of us tried
to apply for job through website or even through emails. Registering in Recruitment
web sites is silly thing because of the long registration process but in fact
it is very important step to help the recruiter to find a suitable job for you
and help the employer as well to choose the best suite employee. There are many
websites offer this service, some of them server the IT only and other serve
all fields. Also there are many companies have their own site for recruitment
because of the big number of applicant or the big number of available jobs.

I tried to find an OpenSource solution to use as a recruitment module
standalone or integrate with other applications but I didn't find what I am
looking for to do the required job. Then I thought about developing an
OpenSource recruitment system with the latest J2EE technologies and best design
to be powerful, easy to integrate, easy to use and customizable.

Brainstorming 

1. The application will support multiple local and handle the RTL languages like Arabic.
2. The application can integrate with other solutions.
3. The application will use the AJAX technology to make it reach as much as possible.
4. The
   application must meet the usability standards to make it easier as much
   as we can for the user to register in the system without boring.
5. The application must apply the w3c html standards to work fine with all browsers.
6. The
   application will use CSS files instead of embeded styles to make it
   easier to change the layout and colors of the application.
7. User Subversion as a version control system.
8. Generate RSS of the available jobs.
9. Develop mailing lists.
