Abstract

A method and system of providing monitoring of a job listing is disclosed. A request to post a job listing is received from a recruiter. An indication of interest in employment for a job represented by the job listing is received form a jobseeker. A determination is made as to whether the job listing is being monitored. The jobseeker information is placed in a monitored folder if the job listing is determined to be monitored. The monitored folder is a data folder that is accessible to the recruiter. Furthermore, the jobseeker information is placed in a non-monitored folder if the job is not to be monitored.

1. A computer-implemented method of providing monitoring of a job listing, comprising:

receiving a request to post a job listing from a recruiter;

receiving from a jobseeker an indication of interest in employment for a job represented by the job listing;

determining whether the job listing is to be monitored; and

placing the jobseeker information in a monitored folder if the job listing is determined to be monitored, the monitored folder being a data folder that is accessible to the recruiter.

2. The method of claim 1, further comprising placing the jobseeker information in a non-monitored folder if the job is not monitored.

3. The method of claim 1, wherein the job listing is determined to be monitored if the request includes an indication that the job listing is to be monitored.

receiving from the recruiter a request to perform an action related to the job listing; and

recording the action request if it is determined that the job listing is in the monitored folder.

9. The method of claim 8, wherein the action requested by the recruiter is editing the job listing.

10. The method of claim 8, wherein the action requested by the recruiter is deleting the job listing.

11. The method of claim 1, further comprising:

receiving from the recruiter a request to perform a search related to the job listing; and

recording the search request if it is determined that the job listing is in the monitored folder.

12. A system of providing monitoring of a job listing, comprising:

a recruiter service module that receives a request to post a job listing from a recruiter; and

a jobseeker service module that receives an indication from a jobseeker that the jobseeker is interested in a job represented by the job listing, the jobseeker service module placing jobseeker information about the jobseeker in a monitored folder if the jobseeker service module determines that the job is to be monitored.

13. The system of claim 12, wherein the jobseeker service module places the jobseeker information in a non-monitored folder if the job is not to be monitored.

14. The system of claim 12, wherein the jobseeker service module determines that the job listing is to be monitored if the request includes an indication of whether the job listing is to be monitored.

15. The system of claim 12, wherein the jobseeker service module determines that the job listing is to be monitored if the recruiter has previously opted to have of all of the job listings that the recruiter posts monitored.

16. The system of claim 12, wherein the recruiter service module further blocks a recruiter from removing the job listing from the monitored folder.

17. The system of claim 12, further comprising a monitoring module that takes a resume snapshot of a resume submitted by the jobseeker.

18. The system of claim 12, further comprising a monitoring module that takes a job listing snapshot of the job listing in which the jobseeker expresses an interest.

19. The system of claim 12, further comprising a monitoring module that records an action request received from the recruiter.

20. The system of claim 19, wherein the action requested by the recruiter includes editing the job listing.

24. A computer-implemented method of providing monitoring of a job listing, comprising:

receiving a request to post a job listing from a recruiter, the request being received at a recruiter service module of a job listing service computing device;

receiving from a jobseeker an indication of interest in employment for a job represented by the job listing, the indication being received at a jobseeker service module of the job listing service computing device;

determining, at the job listing service computing device, whether the job listing is being or is to be monitored; and

placing the jobseeker information in a monitored folder if the job listing is determined to be monitored, the monitored folder being a data folder that is accessible to the job listing service computing device.
