Getin Technologies Placement Portal is very old and pretty cumbersome to use; it has frustrated students and employers in the process. The main issue with the placement platform was that users had struggled to find relevant job listings and resources, which meant low engagement and missed opportunities on the platform. The client needed a revamped platform to streamline the job placement process for everyone involved.
Client Challenges
Client Limitations
Getin Technologies Placement Portal was very slow in loading and featured a cluttered interface that was not easy to navigate. This made it hard to access the job listings or application materials. Even searching filters and user accounts were missing, making navigation inefficient and prompting users to leave the site sooner. Information was already outdated because there were no live updates, which frustrated both students and employers.
Specific goals
The core objective of Getin Technologies was to enhance user engagement with the Placement Portal through the simplification of the job search and application process. Other objectives include improved performance metrics in terms of reducing page-load times and mobile accessibility while also implementing features meant to create better opportunities for interaction between students and employers to maximize successful placements.
Project Goals
Objectives
Better experience by students and employers: The portal to be redesigned in improving experiences of users by incorporating intuitive interfaces that allow easy navigation by both the students and employers.
Optimize Load Times: Make sure that the website loads all pages within three seconds and moves users to job postings and other related sources quickly.
Traffic and engagement: Implement all the best SEO practices and promotional features that would engender at least a minimum of 30% in active users within six months.
Implement Essential Functionalities: The site needs to develop advanced filtering options on the search page, profiles for users with customization facilities, and instant updates regarding new job postings for the ease of searching for jobs.
Facilitate better connections: Develop better communication tools between students and employers-think in-platform messaging and feedback systems-to be able to increase successful placements.
Design & Development Process
Research
In the research phase, we conducted user interviews and surveys that gather insight from students and employers on their needs and pain points. We did a competitive analysis to ensure that the new Placement Portal would meet industry best practices, thus meeting user expectations in the market. This thorough approach was led by Ramaussys Technologies to guarantee a successful outcome.
Wireframes & Prototypes
We used Figma to create wireframes and low-fidelity prototypes, which helped in mapping out the main layout and user interactions on the Placement Portal. The iteration will enable providing feedback based on the needs of the stakeholders and end-users to prove the design is done right. Progressing toward high-fidelity prototyping, visually representing our final design for development.
Tech Stack
Thus, the Placement Portal was designed using a combination of HTML, CSS, and JavaScript with React for the frontend to provide a dynamic experience for users. For the backend, we used Node.js with Express, connected it to a MongoDB database, and integrated RESTful APIs for smooth data handling as well as functions.
Challenges
We expected to face issues with responsive design on all devices and high performance for a fast loading portal. Our solution team Ramaussys Technologies leveraged mobile-first design to develop the portal while integrating performance optimization techniques, which include code splitting and lazy loading, in order to ensure that the user experience on the Placement Portal for our client Getin Technologies was at the very highest level.

Development Approach
Methodology
We practiced Agile development, using Scrum-the iterative approach with continuous feedback-through which the project made incremental progress. This is how we achieved adaptive planning and periodic re-evaluation of priorities such that the placement portal for our client, Getin Technologies, effectively adapted to user needs.
Workflow and communication with client
We set up the workflow using bi-weekly sprints; therefore, we held regular stand-up meetings to track progress and any issues that arose. We maintained close contact with our client, Getin Technologies, via weekly updates and utilized dedicated collaboration tools such that the project remained aligned and on track.
Tools & Platforms
The Placement Portal has, in fact, been built into a customized solution with the use of content management with WordPress making it easy to update and make sure listings for job postings are always taken care of. Shopify is not in use here because this was the crux of building a platform specifically for placement jobs and interaction with users.
