Abstract

An infrastructure system (112) for facilitating the creation of time-based digital resumes (124) and time-based digital job orders (126) and the matching thereof (122), the system including an on-site exchange (118), a private exchange (114), and a public exchange (116). A time-basing method (228) for facilitating preprogrammed time-dependent variation in an electronic proposal. An aspiration matching method (150) for matching (122) a digital resume (124) to a digital job order (126), wherein the digital resume (124) includes at least one resume aspiration, and wherein the digital job order includes at least one job order aspiration, in order to achieve a high level of expected satisfaction between the submitter of the digital resume and the submitter of the digital job order upon consummation of a transaction based on the matching (122) of the resume (124) with the job order (126). A graphical reporting method for reporting feedback based on comparisons of time-based digital resumes and time-based digital job orders.

Claims

1. An infrastructure system for facilitating the creation of time-based digital resumes and time-based digital job orders and the matching thereof, the system comprising:

an on-site exchange for receiving, containing, and matching time-based digital job orders and time-based digital resumes;

a private exchange for receiving, containing, and matching time-based digital job orders and time-based digital resumes;

a public exchange for receiving, containing, and matching time-based digital job orders and time-based digital resumes;

wherein the on-site and private exchanges include a front-end platform for interacting with the public exchange to backfill and publish.

2. The infrastructure system of claim 1, wherein publishing comprises:

exposing the digital job orders to the public database of digital resumes.

3. The infrastructure system of claim 1, wherein backfilling comprises:

locating a best fit digital resume from among a plurality of unrelated corporate skills matching databases.

4. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for interlinking a plurality of unrelated corporate skills matching databases.

5. The infrastructure system of claim 4, further comprising:

means for accessing the plurality of unrelated corporate skills matching databases via a full-time public network.

6. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for enabling third-party proprietary software, which matches resumes to job orders, to implement time-based resumes and time-based job orders.

7. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for enabling third-party proprietary software, which forms matches including at least one of all of the resumes and at least one of all of the job orders, to communicate with the digital resumes contained in the private exchange and the digital resumes contained in the public exchange via a full-time public network.

8. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for enabling all third-party skills matching software vendors to access the full-color graphical feedback reports generated by matching time-based digital resumes with time-based digital job orders.

9. The infrastructure system of claim 1, wherein one or more pluralities of time-based digital resumes compose a time-based teamed digital resume.

10. The infrastructure system of claim 1, wherein one or more pluralities of time-based digital job orders compose a time-based teamed digital job order.

11. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for matching one or more of the time-based digital resumes with one or more time-based digital job orders.

12. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

means for maintaining privacy and anonymity between any two parties using time-based digital resumes or time-based digital job orders.

13. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

one or more standardized templates adapted to facilitate creation of time-based digital resumes.

14. The infrastructure system of claim 1, further comprising:

one or more standardized templates adapted to facilitate creation of time-based digital job orders.

15. The infrastructure system of claim 1,

wherein each of the digital resumes include aspirations data;

and

wherein the contents of each digital resume is configured in accordance with redefined XML standards.

16. The infrastructure system of claim 1,

wherein each of the digital job orders include aspirations data;

and

wherein the contents of each digital job order is configured in accordance with predefined XML standards.

17. A time-basing method for facilitating preprogrammed time-dependent variation in an electronic proposal, the method comprising the steps of:

receiving time-based input data including one or more gradient value, the data being suitable for dynamic time-dependent variance of values associated with at least one time-based electronic proposal;

storing the time-based electronic proposal;

comparing the time-based electronic proposal to one or more other electronic proposals;

calculating a match value for each comparison of the time-based electronic proposal to one of the other electronic proposals.

18. The time-basing method of claim 17, wherein the time-based electronic proposal comprises a time-based digital resume.

19. The time-basing method of claim 17, wherein the time-based electronic proposal comprises a time-based digital job order.

20. The time-basing method of claim 17,

wherein the time-based electronic proposal comprises a time-based digital job order;

and

wherein the other electronic proposals each comprise a time-based digital resume.

21. The time-basing method of claim 17, further comprising the step of:

decomposing the time-based input data into corresponding static data which inherently includes the time-dependent data but is not in a time-dependent format.

22. The time-basing method of claim 21, further comprising the step of:

utilizing the decomposed data in comparing electronic proposals to enable otherwise static skills matching selection criteria to behave dynamically over a described period of time without further user input.

23. The time-basing method of claim 18,

wherein the time-based input data of the time-based digital resume includes time-based aspiration data.

24. The time-basing method of claim 19,

wherein the time-based input data of the time-based digital job order includes time-based aspiration data.

25. The time-basing method of claim 20,

wherein the time-based input data of the time-based digital resume includes time-based resume aspiration data;

and

wherein the time-based input data of the time-based digital job order includes time-based job order aspiration data.

26. The time-basing method of claim 17, wherein the step of receiving time-based input data including one or more gradient value, the data being suitable for dynamic time-dependent variance of values associated with at least one time-based electronic proposal comprises the step of:

receiving time-based input data including a calendar start date, a calendar end date, and a series of two-coordinate data pairs which comprise a date value and a magnitude value, wherein the magnitude value is associated with a user selection criterion, the data being suitable for dynamic time-dependent variance of values associated with at least one time-based electronic proposal.
