Virtual Placement Agency

The goal of this application is to allow recruiters of the Virtual Placement Agency to maintain information on companies, applicants, positions and skills. This application allowed us to create a fully distributed component-based application, with the deployment of components managed by Microsoft Transaction Server (MTS). These requirements were laid out with Use Cases which where determined by the System Analyst in conjunction with the client's Management Staff.

Upon running the application, the user is asked to enter his/her username and password.
 

 
The screen below shows the Companies form. All the forms are loaded inside the Multiple Document Interface (MDI) parent form. The menu bar on top helps the user to easily navigate through the different forms of the application. When this specific form loads, the list box is filed with all the companies in the system. When the user selects a company from the list box, the details of the selected company are displayed in the text boxes. The user has the option of adding a new company or modifying the profile of existing company.
 

 
The following form allows the recruiters to maintain information on the different positions in the system. When the form loads, the combo box is filled with all the companies. When the user selects a company from the list, the second combo box is filled with the positions belonging to that company. Upon selecting a position, the information pertaining to that specific position will fill the text boxes. The user can add a new position for a specific company, close a position that is set to active, archive closed positions, or find candidates for a selected position.
 

 
This following form keeps track of all the applicants in the system. When the form loads, the combo box is filled with all applicants. Selecting an applicant will display his/her profile in the text boxes. The application allows the user to add a new applicant or to modify the profile of an existing applicant. After selecting an applicant, the recruiter can click on "Find Positions". This will match the skills of the applicant with the skills required by all the positions in the system.
 

 
When Place Applicants form is opened, the user can select an open position and an available applicant and fill in the closed date and click "Make Placement".  This assigns an applicant to a position thus removing the position and the applicant from the immediate consideration of the recruiters.
