Abstract
A job recommender method and a candidate recommender method apply two common classification techniques (K-nearest Neighbors and Classification Tree) to generate job recommendations for job seekers and candidate recommendations for employers. The invention further utilizes a matching algorithm to calculate the match degree between a particular job and a particular candidate, and to create an order of priority and relevancy for users. In addition, the matching algorithm enables a pay-for-performance payment method, which charges employers for receiving qualified candidates. The recommender and payment methods and system of the invention is accessible via a network, such a local area network, a wide area network, or the Internet.
