Abstract

A renewal method and system. The method includes receiving, by a computing system from a requester, a selection of said first candidate from a list of candidates. The computing system retrieves a portion of candidate related data from an original request document for the candidate. The computing system receives from the requester, a selection of at least a one supplier from a list of suppliers. The computing system generates a first renewal request document associated with the first candidate. The first renewal request document includes the portion of the candidate related data from the original request document. The first renewal request document is for first renewing an association between a first company and the first candidate. The computing system transmits the first renewal request document to the at least one supplier.
