Inspiration: The Problem and Why This Matters?

With the goal of promoting social change, we focused on the social implications of the current student recruiting process. To identify the pain points and workflow of the recruitment, we interviewed Bill from Facebook. He helped us see the bigger issue of accessibility for non-traditional applicants, i.e. students who are not in top universities. We want to create a more equitable and inclusive future for all applicants. Our new problem became: How might we create a platform for recruiters to empower all types of applicants.

Personas

Students of all backgrounds, including traditional and non-traditional applicants
Recruiters

Solution: dubForm

What if there was a tool that could streamline the entire recruitment process for all students and recruiters? Enter dubForm, the universal pipeline tool for finding the perfect job match for both traditional and non-traditional students.

Company dashboard where recruiters can create and broadcast events as well as easily review status of job applicants
Built-in coding challenges & phone interviews (all internal - no third-parties!)
An easy to use and efficient recruitment pipeline that is customizable per a company's specs!

How we built it

We used React.js, JavaScript, HTML, and CSS to create a connected web app using the react router dom to connect separate components

Challenges we ran into

Mastering DOM and managing state in React
Working and styling with unfamiliar API’s
Resolving merge conflicts in Git

Accomplishments that we're proud of

We are proud that we addressed an existing issue that affects many people around us. We explored and analyzed the root problem by conducting UX interview with a Facebook Recruiter and traditional and non-traditional applicants. As a result, created a product that caters to the needs of the users, the applicants and the recruiters.

What we learned

There are many similar challenges that both students and recruiters face in the hiring process (students not knowing where/when recruiting events will take place, companies not being able to broadcast their recruiting events effectively) As a team we learned how to collaborate on git, manage state between different react components, render html in javascript in JSX,

What's next for dubForm
