1.0 HISTORICAL BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Computer activities have in recent past replaced virtually every form of operation this is because of the advent of information technology, which provides a global network connection for all such activities. With this technology, many organizations have their tentacles spread across the glob. In line with this trend, employment application short listing search activities and job providers need to join the band wagon of the global community in shearing their information across the internet. The Project work is based on this notion. This employment application short listing system of Guinness Nigeria Plc is centered on the way and manner new staff are being recruited into the organization by short listing their names using a computerized system rather than using the conventional method which involves typing and pasting of the paper on a notice board whereby applicants whose names are not short listed can be angry and easily tear off the paper. The process that was used before this research was carried out was not as effective as expected by the organization because of the limiting factors that was associated with the system in such a way that, applicant find it difficult to find their names on the notice board after all the necessary exams and interview have been carried out. This was because the means of displaying the short listed employee was not reliable and can easily be destroyed even though the paper is locked inside a notice board. And at the end of the day, the applicants will end up going back to the organization to lay complains by stressing the management after they most have pasted the short listed names.
In other to over come this problem, I felt is extremely necessary to design an automated system that will be used to short list employee that applied for a particular position.
