Abstract

This research aimed to create and evaluate an employment website, focusing on both technical quality and end-user satisfaction. Employing the System Development Life Cycle (SDLC) model, the team defined eight core functionalities: (1) user login, (2) member management, (3) data verification for job postings, urgent applications, and internships, (4) job details, (5) data management for job applications, urgent applications, and internship applications, (6) a contact channel, (7) applicant notifications, and (8) application status tracking. A total of two web development experts and one graphic design expert assessed the system’s quality, while 30 end-users—comprising students and recent graduates—provided feedback on user satisfaction.

Data collection involved a quality-assessment form for specialists, a user-satisfaction questionnaire, and direct observations of interactions with the prototype. Descriptive statistics, including mean and standard deviation, were used to quantify responses. The findings indicated that experts rated the overall website quality at a good level, citing strengths such as intuitive design and straightforward navigation. Parallel to these results, user satisfaction was also good, with particular appreciation for the system’s clarity, responsiveness, and seamless user experience.

By offering practical features tailored to both job seekers and employers, the website addresses modern recruitment challenges. The study underscores the importance of well-structured functionalities and user-focused design principles. Moreover, it highlights how digital tools can effectively bridge the gap between candidates and potential employers, streamlining the hiring process in a manner that is both efficient and user-friendly.
