The problem RozGaar solves

The problem we're addressing is the significant challenges faced by tier 2 and tier 3 college students when seeking placements and internships. These students often lack resources, opportunities, and effective connections with employers, making it difficult for them to enter the job market and perpetuating inequalities.

Traditional recruitment processes tend to favor students from elite colleges, leaving those from less well-known institutions at a disadvantage. This creates a double-edged challenge for tier 2 and tier 3 students: they must overcome the stigma associated with their college's reputation while competing in a crowded job market.

Our goal is to bridge this gap by providing a platform that empowers these students to access opportunities effectively. We aim to level the playing field by facilitating seamless connections between students and potential employers, offering user-friendly interfaces, personalized career guidance, and networking capabilities.

Additionally, our solution addresses the needs of recruiters by providing streamlined job posting management, insights into talent pools, and mechanisms for showcasing company culture and values to attract top talent. By offering valuable tools and insights, we aim to broaden recruiters' talent acquisition strategies and create a more inclusive job market.

In summary, our solution aims to empower tier 2 and tier 3 college students to connect with opportunities and address the systemic biases that limit their access to the job market. We strive to create a more equitable landscape where talent and potential are recognized and rewarded, regardless of educational background.

Challenges we ran into

1. Understanding User Needs: One of the primary challenges was understanding the specific needs and pain points of tier 2 and tier 3 college students. These students come from diverse backgrounds and face unique challenges in accessing opportunities. We conducted extensive research and user interviews to gain insights into their experiences and preferences.

2. Data Collection and Validation: Collecting accurate and relevant data about job opportunities, recruiters, and student profiles was challenging. We had to ensure the data we gathered was up-to-date and reliable to provide valuable insights and recommendations to both students and recruiters.

3. Technical Implementation: Developing a robust and user-friendly platform required overcoming technical hurdles. We faced challenges in designing efficient matchmaking algorithms, creating intuitive user interfaces, and ensuring seamless integration of various features.
