Development of an Anonymous Professional Profile Matching Platform for Industry Recruitment

Architecture firms face difficulties finding suitable professionals due to inefficient matching processes and privacy concerns, resulting in suboptimal recruitment outcomes. Professionals often lack secure, anonymous visibility of potential employers' opportunities, leading to attenuation in matchmaking effectiveness and potential bias or exploitation risks.
