We built a web application for interviewer - interviewee mapping by using React.js, Node.js, MySQL, and a recommendation system

Inspiration

As college students, we realize the challenge an interview can present and wanted to help other students prep for the upcoming interviews and first impressions ahead of them.

What it does

This web application allows you to sign up, fill up a form with your skill level, language preference, topic preference, referred times, role, and preferred locations. On finding a match (using collaborative filtering), you get an email with contact info of the interviewer, and confirmation of the mock interview or study session. You then get periodic emails to remind you of the interview.

Collaborative filtering

        cos(A.B) =A.B/|A||B|   

where,
A : Student vector
B : Interviewer vector
The best match between a student and an interviewer is based on the angle between the A and B. Higher the cosine similarity, lesser the angle.
