1. Introduction –

 Career F Crawler is a modern web-based

platform that aims to streamline the job search
process by automatically crawling company
websites to extract job postings and opportunities
.

 Career F Crawler seeks to centralize job listings

in one convenient portal, ensuring that users
have access to the most up-to-date and relevant
job opportunities.

 This system leverages web scraping technology

to extract data from company websites, giving
job seekers direct access to real-time
information without missing any crucial
opportunities.

Problem Addressed:

 Job seekers often spend a lot of time

navigating multiple job boards or corporate
websites to search for jobs, and some smaller
companies may not use mainstream job boards
to advertise their roles.

 Additionally, outdated or duplicated listings make

the job search frustrating.

Career F Crawler offers a solution by automating job listing

extraction and simplifying the search process .
Objectives and Vision –

The primary objective of Career F Crawler is to make

the job search process more efficient and less stressful
by providing users with real-time job listings sourced
directly from company websites. By doing so, the
platform ensures that no job opportunity is missed,
and users have access to the latest listings, without
having to scour the internet manually.

Vision:

 The long-term vision of Career F Crawler is

to become the leading platform for job
seekers, providing them with unparalleled
access to job opportunities from companies
of all sizes.

 This platform aims to be the go-to resource for

job seekers looking for accurate, real-time job
listings, with a strong focus on user experience
and personalized search results.

Mission:

 To automate the job search process and

empower job seekers by offering them real-
time access to career opportunities directly
from company websites.

 Career F Crawler will also prioritize

personalization, ensuring that users find roles
suited to their skills and interests through an
intuitive and user-friendly interface.
Goals:

1. Centralize Job Search: Create a one-stop

platform where job seekers can access up-to-
date job listings from various companies.

2. Increase Efficiency: Reduce the time job

seekers spend searching for jobs by automating
data extraction from company websites.

3. Provide Real-Time Information: Ensure that

job seekers are only applying for active and
up-to- date roles.

4. Expand Reach to Niche Markets: Include job

postings from smaller companies or niche
industries that might not be listed on traditional
job boards.
 3. Key Features –

Career F Crawler distinguishes itself through a set of key

features designed to enhance the job search
experience for users:

1. Automated Web Crawling: The platform

uses advanced web scraping technology to
visit and extract job postings from company
websites in real time.

2. Comprehensive Job Listings: Since the

platform scrapes data directly from company
websites, users gain access to listings that
might not be available on traditional job
boards.

3. Advanced Filtering Options: Users can filter

job listings by criteria such as industry, location,
job title, salary, and experience level, allowing
them to customize their job search according to
their preferences.

4. Job Alerts and Notifications: Career F Crawler

allows users to set up alerts for specific job types
or companies.

5. Application Tracking: Users can keep track of

the jobs they have applied for directly on the
platform. This feature allows for better
organization and management of the application
process.
4. Technology Stack –
Career F Crawler utilizes a robust and modern technology
stack to ensure scalability, speed, and security:

Front-End Technologies:

• HTML5/CSS3: For creating responsive, mobile-

friendly layouts.
• JavaScript: For dynamic, interactive user
experiences.
• React.js: Ensures a seamless and fast user
interface, allowing users to interact with the
platform in real time.

Back-End Technologies:

• Node.js: Handles server-side processing and

interacts with databases.
• Python with BeautifulSoup/Scrapy: For
web scraping and data extraction from
company websites.
• Django (Python): Could be used for building
robust APIs and for the back-end framework that
manages the core functionalities.

Database:

• MongoDB/MySQL: A NoSQL/SQL database to store

job listings, user profiles, and search
preferences. NoSQL databases like MongoDB
offer flexibility in dealing with unstructured data,
which is useful when handling scraped data.
5. How Career F Crawler Works -

a Website Crawling o The platform uses

automated crawlers to visit a set of predefined
company websites, focusing on the career
sections to extract job-related data. o The
crawlers are programmed to visit these
websites at regular intervals, ensuring that
job listings are always up to date.

b Data Extraction o Job-related information,

including job titles, descriptions, qualifications,
and application links, is extracted and stored in
a structured database.
i The data is cleaned and standardized,
removing duplicates and outdated listings.

c User Search and Filtering o Users can

search for jobs using a variety of filters such
as location, industry, and job type. The
platform delivers personalized results based
on these inputs.

d Real-Time Updates o As soon as new job

listings are detected, they are added to the
platform, ensuring users are always seeing the
most current opportunities.

e Job Alerts o Users receive email or app

notifications when jobs that match their profile
or search criteria become available.
Data flow diagram for CFC:

The given diagram is a Data Flow Diagram (DFD)

representing a content crawler workflow, possibly designed for
extracting and structuring data from a webpage. Here's a
breakdown of the components and flow:

1. Crawling Process (Top Section - Red Box):

 Crawl: This process fetches the webpage content from

a given URL (starting point).
 Output: The fetched webpage content is passed to the
next process for further processing.
 2. Extraction Process (Middle Section - Yellow Box):

 Extract: The extraction process retrieves partial

webpage content from the full webpage content.
 This step typically involves identifying specific elements
(e.g., HTML tags, links, or text blocks) relevant to the
target data.
 Input: The initial movie list page URL or content from the
crawling process.
 Output: Partial webpage content is passed to the next
step.
 There is also a feedback loop that uses the next page
URL to repeat the crawl process, ensuring multi-page
content is collected.

3. Parsing Process (Bottom Section - Blue Box):

 Parse: In this stage, the partial webpage content is

processed to create structured content.
 Parsing may involve transforming unstructured data (like
raw HTML) into a structured format, such as JSON, XML, or
a database table.
 Output: The final structured content is ready for storage
or further use (e.g., analysis, reporting).

Flow Overview:

1. The system starts with a given URL (e.g., the first movie
list page).
2. The crawl process retrieves webpage content.
3. The extract process identifies relevant portions (e.g.,
movie lists) and outputs partial webpage content.
4. If there are additional pages (via "next page URL"), the
process loops back to crawl.
5. The partial webpage content is passed to parse, where it
is transformed into structured content for use.

Conclusion
Career F Crawler simplifies the job search process by
providing real-time, accurate job listings from a wide
range of company websites. With a focus on user
experience, comprehensive job coverage, and advanced
filtering tools, it .
