Abstract

A carrier development system wherein registrant communication terminals carried by registrants, an employer end communication terminal, and a system server computer are mutually connected via a communication network such as the Internet, and wherein the computer automatically assigns the registrants, who satisfy employment requirements of an employer end, to time frames (cells) corresponding to job types on each day. A shift creation window, in which the cells are arranged in accordance with cell assignment conditions, is used to automatically assign the registrants to the cells, based on personnel assignment conditions and the preset values of work performance appraisal related to the registrants. The shifts of the respective job types are made open such that they can be viewed via the registrant communication terminals, thereby recruiting for some time interval. Thereafter, notifications of preliminary confirmations are transmitted to the registrant communication terminals of the assigned registrants through the communication network, and responses to the notifications are accepted via those registrant communication terminals. Then, applicants are automatically assigned to the cells in accordance with the employment requirements and the preset values of work performance appraisal, thereby creating a shift table.

Claims

1. A career development system in which a registrant communication terminal carried by a registrant, an employer-end communication terminal, and a system server computer are connected via a communication network such as the Internet and the system server computer automatically assigns persons satisfying conditions for employment in time blocks (cells) corresponding to each duty on a day-to-day basis,

such system server computer comprising:

storage means for storing employment requirements such as the number of persons being recruited, work period, work time blocks, and duties presented by an employer, as well as for storing persons who have registered in advance and such persons'"'"' prior work evaluation values; and

cell assignment conditions input means for registering requirements for a cell;

personnel assignment conditions input means for setting at least employment type;

shift frame creation means for designating and registering a work period in order to create shifts corresponding to the employment requirements;

cell creation means for adding created cells to shifts, having a cell creation screen for inputting cell conditions such as time block, number of people, position, employment type, and range of work evaluation values for each duty for each day of a work period registered in a shift frame created by shift frame creation means;

shift creation means for automatically assigning persons to cells made to correspond to each duty for each day based on personnel assignment conditions and work evaluation data relating to such persons, having a shift creation screen in which cells for each duty created for each of a work period by cell creation means are arranged in accordance with the set cell assignment conditions; and

entry means for, after the cells for each duty in accordance with each day of a work period have been created by shift creation means, posting shifts for each duty via a registrant'"'"'s registered communication terminal and recruiting for a fixed period; and

shift advance confirmation means for communicating to a person given an assignment by shift creation means an advance confirmation response via the registrant'"'"'s terminal through a communications network and for receiving an advance confirmation response from the assigned person via the registrant'"'"'s communication terminal,

wherein, after the deadline for recruitment of a specific period set by entry means, shift creation means automatically assigns to the cell a person recruited based on a prior work evaluation value relating to the person recruited and employment requirements.

2. A career development system of claim 1 wherein shift creation means makes assignments starting with persons who satisfy requirements with a high priority order registered in cells set by cell assignment condition input means.

3. A career development system of claim 1 wherein, in those cells having a high assignment priority order from among the cells set by cell assignment condition means, shift creation means makes assignments starting with persons who satisfy requirements with a high priority order registered in such cells.

4. A career development system of claim 2 wherein the priority order for shifts is in accordance with the urgency and importance of the duty.

5. A career development system of claim 2 wherein cell requirement priority order is in the order of the highest work evaluation value first.

6. A career development system of claim 1 wherein if there is overlap of a plurality of persons in the same cell, persons are assigned in the order of highest work evaluation value.

7. A career development system of claim 1 wherein storing means stores reservation patterns agreed upon by staff and employer in which employment requirements under which work is possible are entered in advance, and when the condition for assigning personnel is first come, first served, shift creation means applies an entered reservation pattern stored in storing means to a cell and makes automatic assignments in priority order.

8. A career development system of claim 7 wherein when, after cells for each duty are created by cell creation means, a reservation pattern is applied and priority cells are designated, shift creation means makes automatic assignment of reservation patterns to cells in priority order, and after pre-posting shift finalization, entry means posts shifts by duty to registrants via their registered communication terminal and recruits staff for a set period.

9. A career development system of claim 1 wherein, if an open cell arises following automatic assignment of registered persons by shift creation means, entry means posts a shift for the duty of the open cell to those registered persons who have not been automatically assigned, and recruits again for a set period;

after the deadline, shift creation means automatically assigns applicants to the empty cells based on advance work evaluation values of the applicants and employment requirements.

10. A career development system in which a registrant communication terminal carried by a registrant, an employer-end communication terminal, and a system server computer are connected via a communication network such as the Internet, and the system server computer posts duties with employment requirements that the employer has presented, such as the number of persons to recruit, work period, work time blocks, and duties, to registrants'"'"' communication terminals, recruitment is carried out for a set time and, after the recruitment period deadline, automatic assignment is made of applicants to time blocks (cells) corresponding to each duty for each day based on advance work performance evaluation values relating to the applicants and the employment requirements, such system server computer comprising:

cell assignment condition input means for registering cell requirements and setting the priority order of the registered requirements;

personnel assignment condition input means for setting at least the employment type order;

shift frame creation means for designating and registering a work period in order to create shifts matching the employment requirements;

cell creation means for adding created cells to shifts, having a cell creation screen for inputting cell conditions such as time block, number of people, employment type, and range of work performance evaluation values for each duty of each day of a work period registered in a shift frame created by shift frame creation means;

shift creation means for automatically assigning persons to cells in accordance with the set cell assignment conditions, having a shift creation screen in which cells for each duty created for each day of a work period by cell creation means are arranged in accordance with the set cell assignment conditions; and

shift advance confirmation means for notifying persons assigned by shift creation means of an advance confirmation response of a duty to an applicant'"'"'s communication terminal via a communications network, and for receiving an advance confirmation response via an registrant'"'"'s communication terminal from the assigned person.

11. A career development system of claim 10 wherein, when advance confirmation means receives communication from an assigned person, through an advance confirmation response, of an application for a change to a substitute person that the assigned person found himself (community shift change), shift creation means compares the advance work performance evaluation value relating to the substitute person with the work performance evaluation value set by the cell conditions, and determines whether the person is appropriate.

12. A career development system of claim 10 wherein, if shift advance confirmation means determines that none of the assigned persons sent an advance confirmation response, shift creation means, in accordance with personnel assignment conditions, makes automatic assignment of another person to the relevant cell (system shift change), and shift confirmation means notifies such other person of the assignment through such person'"'"'s registrant communication terminal.
