Design and Implementation of a Recruitment Portal for the Nigeria Airforce
CHAPTER ONE
AIMS AND OBJECTIVES
This project work is aimed at reducing the loss of candidate information due to any circumstance like fire burning the store that the file of candidates are kept or misplace the file and with this process, the recruitment portal, the file or the information of the candidate will be security on saved or kept information and if this task is done, the Nigeria Airforce will improve better in the country.
The Objectives are:
- Designing of Web-Based Recruitment System that will enhance processing of candidate record and keep it into their database.
- Designing a Web-Based Recruitment system that will allow for quick updating of candidate information
- Designing a Web-Based Recruitment system that will bring about the reduction in loss of candidate information collected by any candidate
- Designing a Web-Based Recruitment System that will Enhance recruitment accuracy and enable timely information dissemination.

LITERATURE REWIEW
Web portals are sometimes classified as horizontal or vertical. A horizontal portal is used a platform to several company in the same economic sector or to the same type of manufactures or distributors. A vertical portal (also known as “vortal”) is a specialized entry point to a specific market or industry niche, subject area, or interest . some vertical portals are known as “vertical information portal”(VIPs). VIPs provide news, editorial contrast , digital publications, and e-commerce capabilities. In contract to traditional vertical portals, VIPs also dynamic multimedia application including social networking, video posting and blogging.
Online recruitment users of internet to find people job, advertising vacancies on the job sites or cooperation websites. While it may generate lots of application than traditional more candidate is only the part of the job. The current state is that truly effective online recruitment can be as low as 10 percent of the top blue chip corporate companies.
The main concept is to present the user with a single web page that brings together or aggregates content form a number of other systems or servers. The application server is in turn connected to database servers, and may be part of a clustered server environment. High-capacity portal configuration may include load balancing strategies. For portals that present application functionality to the user, the portal server is in reality the front piece of server configuration that includes some connectivity to the application server. For early web browsers permitting HTML frameset and frame elements, diverse information could be presented without violating the browser same-source security policy (relied upon to prevent a variety of cross-site security breaches). More recent client-side technologies rely on Java script frame works and libraries that rely on more recent web functionality such as sync callbacks using Httxml requests.
The server hosting the portal may only be a “pass through” for the user. By use of portlets, application functionality can be presented in any number of portal pages. For the most part, this architecture is transparent to the user. In such a design, security and concurrent user capacity can be important issues, and security designers need to ensure that only authenticated and authorized users can generate requests to the application server. If the security design and administration does not ensure adequate authentication and authorization, then the portal may inadvertently present vulnerabilities to various types of attacks.
The focus of this research is to identify the leading job satisfaction factor of the Airforce recruiters and compare them between the formal designated of the Airforce Recruitment System
CHAPTER THREE
SYSTEM INVESTIGATION AND ANALYSIS
System investigation and analysis deals with considering the full study of the existing system by investigating the system to expose the strength and weakness of the existing system. It also allows the problem of existing system to be incorporated if possible. Strength, weakness, opportunity and threat (SWOT) analysis is used as a tool in this chapter.
Any establishment that is not satisfied with its present operation can decide to make change to a better way. System analysis has to be carried out to evaluate whether a change is actually necessary
BACKGROUND INFORMATION ON THE CASE STUDY
The Nigeria Airforce Headquarters comprises of seven staff branches which formulate policies, The current seven branches are namely policy and plans, training and operation, standards and evaluations and Air secretary. Each staff branch is headed a Branch Chief who is directly responsible to the Chief of Air Staff. The Branch chiefs are assisted by several directors and staff officers. The office of the chief of Air Staff is structured to include the coordinator project implementation and monitoring team, finance and account, and Nigeria Airforce procurement and plans.
CHAPTER FOUR
SYSTEM DESIGN
This involves the planning of the fact outlined during system investigation and the layout of files in the programs before implementation. The layout of the files is thoroughly planned to ensure on efficient system. More information, the cost of planning a new system must be less so as to make the aim of computerization of success.
The purpose of the new system is the productivity of the details computer based system and its specification on the basis of the contents of the system designed recruitment documents.
CHAPTER FIVE
SYSTEM DEVELOPMENT
This stage of the development of the new system takes into account the process involved in placing the new system into full operation. The steps involved in this stage are: System requirement (hardware, software and staff), method adopted in switching over to the new system (Changeover method), Operating instructions for optimum performance and limitation of the new system
CHAPTER SIX
The pages are the functional operations of the activities in the program. These pages are:
- Candidate payment page
- Pin generation page
- Candidate registration page
- Reports page
Candidate Payment Page: This page allows the candidate of interest to collect information given from the banks of choice that paid to, such information are “PIN” and Serial Number
CHAPTER SEVEN
SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
SUMMARY
Recruitment is the process of finding and hiring the best qualified candidate (from within or outside of an organization) for a job opening in a timely and cost effective manner. The recruitment process includes analyzing the requirements of a job attracting employees that job, screening and selecting applicants, hiring and integrating the new employee to the organization. Recruitment also refers to the overall process of attracting, selecting and appointing suitable candidate to a one or more jobs within an organization, either permanent or temporary
The original strength and power of online recruitment is when it is done properly, lie in controlling internet technology to not just attract the candidate but to deal with them also. In this sense, it is also about streamlining the recruitment process, so busy, human resource departments can give a good recruitment services to their colleagues in finance, security nd drivers and moreover it fees up more of their time for other potential tasks
CONCLUSION
With regard to the length of investigation and analysis made, it is impressive that the new system has totally overcome the manual system as regard to time factors inefficiently, inaccuracy in the manual method. I will like to advice the management of any organization on the implementation of this new system which is computer based approach. This will ensure good efficient, accuracy in their process and effective security control should be placed on computer system so that unauthorized user will not be allowed to have access on the new system.
RECOMMENDATION
This project work is an effort to contribute to the development of education and information technology in the country, just as in the developed countries of the world, it will be worthwhile to put the system to use in our educational institutions or organization sector for administrative assessment. This system will also be of great benefit to any various of an organization sector aiming to implement electronic mode of operation, which can store information electronically known as database system.
