Abstract
The recruitment process has always been critical to the success or failure of organizations.
Organizations constantly seek better methods of recruiting staff that will require minimal
effort to seamlessly fit in with the organizations business processes and thus provide
recruitment agencies with the means with which to determine which universities provide the
best graduates in a particular field for recruitment.
This project work utilized a V-model software methodology, in the verification phase
requirements are gathered via observation and document analysis these requirements are then
analysed using use case models data flow diagrams and entity relationship diagrams. In the
Systems Design phase a software specification document is generated and it holds technical
diagrams such as, the interface design of the recruitment management system (R.M.S), its
activity diagram, its architecture diagram and the logic model of the Apriori Algorithm
implemented in the R.M.S. In the implementation phase various web technologies were used
to implement the R.M.S, PHP was used to implement the Apriori Algorithm used to make
assertions as to which higher institutions produce the best graduates in a field of study and
finally in the validation phase unit tests were carried to ensure the R.M.S is fault free.
The R.M.S developed is user friendly with interactive modules that enables organizations
generate various reports and make predictions about schools that produce the best recruits in
a particular field of study. It also enables organizations schedule various exams for various
candidates hence cutting out third party recruitment agencies.
Various organizations run different business processes. It is common knowledge that
organizations spend a lot of resources adapting new recruits to their business processes and
still get mixed results; With R.M.S organizations are guaranteed greater value for invest resources
