The team are working hard and plan to release the beta next month and the viable product early in 2019, so the project is far from dead, just getting started in fact 

I'd recommend you check out the platform preview that Dror released recently showing the Employer and Student Dashboards and much much more: https://medium.com/bitjob/you-beta-be-ready-6065327f14b7

And then a little further back was the progress report and what's to come: https://medium.com/bitjob/our-journey-so-far-54e93f419304

Make sure to check out the video of the platform and let us know what you think, if you have any suggestions also, feel free to share them here
