Tiivistelmä
RecRight is a product of MobileCV Oy and is a human resources platform that utilizes video interview services for companies’ recruitment processes. Companies use this service to post job openings, and then invite potential candidates to video interviews. Currently, RecRight has an email system that uses Amazon Simple Email Service (Amazon SES) as a cloud-based service to send notification and transactional emails. This system is also used by companies using RecRight's service to notify and contact candidates during the interview process.
This thesis describes and outlines the research and implementation of a new email and email templating framework to be used by RecRight and its customers. The new framework will include functionality for composing and customizing notification and transactional emails and custom email templates in RecRight's service.
RecRight's service is created with primarily JavaScript (ECMAScript 6), using React & Redux on the front-end, and Node.js with MongoDB on the back-end. Amazon SES is the cloud service used for sending and delivering emails. The new framework outlined in this thesis was designed to be interoperable with all of the aforementioned technologies. For communication and project management, the development team at RecRight uses Git and GitHub for version control and development. Slack is used for communication across all departments.
The need for this research and implementation arose from the customers’ need to send transactional and notification emails using their company’s custom styles, colours, and tone of voice. Customers of RecRight receive the practical benefits of this thesis, as they are be able to email candidates who apply for their job openings using their own company branding and styles. RecRight also receives benefits, as this implementation further develops and improves upon their platform.
