Theses and Dissertations

College graduates are having a challenging time attaining jobs upon graduation as most companies require years of experience. There are resources available online, however they are targeting different aspects. Forming a solution to this problem is an idea, Crove, a website tool that can be used by students applying to companies as well as recruiters searching for the right candidate. As Crove becomes the mediator between employers and employees, it will formulate a smooth form of interaction among the two parties. With Crove, students have the ability to display their resumes with skills in addition to their non-job related skills, such as hobbies, Spotify playlist, etc. This will help recruiters truly understand the potential employee outside of technical skills. Furthermore, the student will have the opportunity to upload a short video about themselves; this can help recruiters get a sense of the candidate's personality and in some cases, help with the behavioral part of the interview process. This unique platform benefits both employers and employees with its distinctive features.

The question that always gets asked by college students in today’s world is how and where I am going to find that first real job out of college. Students struggle with finding the right connections and networking required to get that dream job they have always wanted after completing their degree. As students graduating this year, it is related to us in a big way that we create a website that makes the job easier for students and employees to connect and get the job they are looking for. Our group decided to create a website that will give these students an opportunity to show a little bit of their personality to employers along with their skills and attributes that they would provide to a company. The website also gives employers the opportunity to narrow the search for a candidate and get the employee they are looking for in their company. The goal is to make looking for a job easier for newly graduated college students that are starting their careers. We have also created a link from our website that can be used to put on your Linkedin or other various websites to promote yourself. With the addition of our video feature and other qualities about the person, we believe our website is unique and will help candidates get the job they are looking for.
