Here's a step-by-step guide to creating an online job portal in Python with source code:

  1. Design and set up the database: Design and create the database for storing the job listings, job seekers' profiles, and employer profiles. For this project, we will be using SQLite as our database. Create a new file models.py and define the Job, Employer, and JobSeeker models as shown below:
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.models import User

class Job(models.Model):
    title = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    description = models.TextField()
    requirements = models.TextField()
    location = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    employer = models.ForeignKey('Employer', on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

class Employer(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    company_name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    description = models.TextField()
    website = models.URLField(blank=True)

class JobSeeker(models.Model):
    user = models.OneToOneField(User, on_delete=models.CASCADE)
    name = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    email = models.EmailField()
    phone_number = models.CharField(max_length=20, blank=True)
    resume = models.FileField(upload_to='resumes/', blank=True)
    saved_jobs = models.ManyToManyField(Job)
  1. Create the user interface: Design the user interface for the job portal using HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. You can use a front-end framework like Bootstrap to create a responsive and modern design. Here are some of the pages you can create:
  • Home page: This page should have a search bar where job seekers can search for jobs based on keywords, location, and job title. It should also have links to login and register pages for job seekers and employers.

  • Job listings page: This page should display a list of all job listings with brief information about each job. Clicking on a job listing should take the user to a detailed job description page.

  • Job description page: This page should display detailed information about a job listing, including the job title, job description, qualifications, and application instructions.

  • Job seeker profile page: This page should allow job seekers to create and edit their profiles, upload their resumes, and save job listings they're interested in.

  • Employer profile page: This page should allow employers to create and edit their profiles, post job listings, and view applications.

Create the HTML templates for these pages and save them in the templates directory of your Django project.

  1. Implement the back-end: Create the back-end of the job portal using Python and Django. Create the required views, models, and controllers.
  • User authentication: Implement user authentication and authorization to ensure that only authorized users can access certain pages and features.

  • Job search: Implement a search feature that allows job seekers to search for jobs based on keywords, location, and job title.

  • Job posting: Implement a feature that allows employers to post job listings and specify the job title, job description, qualifications, and application instructions.

  • Job application: Implement a feature that allows job seekers to apply for job listings and allows employers to view and manage applications.

  • User profiles: Implement user profiles for job seekers and employers that allow them to create and edit their profiles, upload resumes, and save job listings.

Create the views and controllers for these features in the views.py file of your Django project.

  1. Deploy the application: Once you've completed the development of your job portal, deploy it to a hosting service like Heroku or AWS Elastic Beanstalk so that it can be accessed by users over the internet.
