Background
MIS 333K, affectionately known as "Killer K", is one of the hardest classes in the MIS major. The class is a semester long group project with a huge list of requirements that few groups even come close to completing.
Our product
Longhorn Recruiting handled the entire university recruiting process. Recruiters are able to create job applications, invite students to interviews, and batch request room reservations for their interviews. Students are able to apply to jobs, schedule interviews, and get email notifications based on hiring decisions.
How we did it
We were given a large set of sample data that we needed to parse and ETL into our Azure database. We had to quickly learn VBA to extract tons of data from multiple data sources. We built Longhorn Recruiting on the ASP.NET framework, used the Entity Framework for our object-relation mapping, and Identity to handle user management. We used Bootstrap to create our entire UI, and all application logic was written in C#.
Results
This project was one of my favorite things about the MIS degree and will forever remain one of my core college memories. My group and I worked really hard throughout the semester and were very proud of our final solution. We ended up securing 6th place out of 33 teams.
