Welcome to More Than Metrics, where candidates are considered something more than just metrics and recruiters can see the true personality of a person without discriminating them by their appearance
The goal of this website is that both candidates and companies will have an enjoyable experience when either applying for a job,
or looking for potential employees.
The companies looking for potential candidates will have a whole different experience from the candidates which will hopefully make the recruitment process
more fun for the recruiter and the candidate.
Our first initial plan for the project was to make a recruitment website that would make the recruiters job more fun, enjoyable, and more efficient.
However after looking through the ideas and features we, as a group, realised that the recruitment process in general is already extremely efficient
for the recruiter however they were making it efficient at the expense of the applicants and candidates that were trying to apply for the places.
This is when we decided to make a recruitment website that made the applying process fairer for everyone involved,
anonymising the candidates and taking the bare metrics out of the data. The name ‘More Than Metrics’ Came from the idea that the website cares
more than just about the metrics of a person, and wants to know what the personalities are of that person.
This project was built with the Javascript coding language, using MaterialUI and recharts to help flesh out the front end,
and using PostGreSQL with data being posted to ElephantSQL to help handle the back end and API components.
The core features for the candidate are:
- Registering a Candidate account
- Logging into your Candidate account
- See a Job board for all of the available jobs
- Be able to search for specific jobs or companies
- Be able to view companies
- Most importantly be able to apply for a job
The core features for the company are:
- Registering a Company account
- Logging into your Company account
- Accessing a Company dashboard
- Seeing Company application stats for the whole company
- Seeing Company application stats for each job
- Be able to review applications to their jobs
- Be able to accept or reject applications
- Be able to see candidate details from accepted applications

When clicking on review applicants you will be taken to the core functionality of the company side, accepting applications.
This is the page which allows a company to either reject or accept a candidate. To make this process as fair as possible all personal data is excluded from
the application and you can only see their headline, and their answers with the prompts that they chose. There are 2 buttons, one for accepting (green) and
one for rejecting (red).
Note that these applications are only one time views, and that candidates shouldn’t be compared with each other, and instead be judged based on their prompts.
So if you reject an application you cannot get that application back, each decision is important so take time when going through applications.
You can stop halfway through and come back later to pick it up again, or you can go through all the applications, if you go through all of them, or there are
no applications you will get a message
You can go back by clicking the back button
