Search Screen
Inspiration
With the StackSearch project our group wanted to develop a search engine that took into account factors popular job search websites do not index. We ourselves have had trouble finding internships in the past, and wanted to build a platform to make the job search process easier for software developers.
What it does
StackSearch let's the user directly search by their technical skill set. The search itself indexes jobs specifically by required technical skills, and presents jobs to users that most match the tech stack they use.
How we built it
Our back end is built using flask, and our job web scraping scripts were programmed using Selenium.
Challenges we ran into
We experienced difficulty pulling large numbers of job data from indeed.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
The UI is better looking than I thought it would be.
What we learned
How to more properly structure a web crawling architecture.
What's next for StackSearch
If we had more time, It would have been cool if we could have built user profiles where users could specify their skill set instead of manually specifying them each search.
