RahaJob – A Two-Sided Job Market Built for Syria

Unique Value Proposition

• Two-sided marketplace: a single platform that serves both job seekers and employers under one unified account system.
• Rich candidate profiles: experience, education, skills, certifications, languages, portfolio, and resume — all in one place.
• Proactive talent outreach: employers can discover candidates and send direct connection requests, not just wait for applications.
• Syria-first design: Syrian governorates, local job categories, SYP currency support, and Arabic-first interface.
• Smart search: results are ranked by relevance across jobs and candidates.

Core Modules

• Job Seeker Profile: personal info, career headline, professional summary, experience level, employment status, availability, expected salary, and work preferences.
• Job Seeker Portfolio: experience history, education, skills, certifications, languages, portfolio items, preferred locations, and multiple resumes.
• Employer Profile: company name, type, industry, size, founding year, about, website, contact details, and LinkedIn.
• Job Postings: title, category, job type, work model, experience level, location, salary range, visibility, status lifecycle, and expiry.
• Job Applications: cover letter, resume attachment, application status pipeline, and employer notes.
• Candidate Connections: employer-initiated outreach with a message, candidate response (interested / declined), and per-posting uniqueness.
• Saved Items: job seekers save job postings; employers save talent profiles.
• Company Reviews: job seekers leave reviews on employer profiles.
• Search & Discovery: smart search across jobs and candidates with category, location, and keyword filters.
• Activity Logs: audit trail for sensitive account and platform actions.

Business Rules

• Dual account types: each registered account is either a job seeker or an employer — roles are fixed at registration.
• Profile completion score: both job seeker and employer profiles track a completion percentage that unlocks platform features.
• Application uniqueness: a job seeker can apply to any given job posting only once.
• Connection uniqueness: an employer can send only one connection request per candidate per job posting.
• Profile visibility control: job seekers choose between public, private, or companies-only visibility for their profiles.
• Job posting lifecycle: postings flow through draft → active → paused → closed / expired states.
• Application pipeline: applications move through pending → reviewed → shortlisted → rejected / hired.

User Flows

• Job Seeker: register → build profile → add experience/education/skills → upload resume → search jobs → apply → track applications → respond to employer connections.
• Employer: register → build company profile → post jobs → receive and review applications → search talent pool → send connection requests to candidates.
• Platform Admin: manage accounts, review flagged content, monitor activity logs, and configure platform settings.
