Abstract
Candidates use a computer-based system to create profiles of their job experience, skills, interests, and future job requirements. Companies seeking candidates to fill job positions use the system to create profiles of the positions they seek to fill. The system automatically matches candidates to company searches based on their profiles, and confidentially and anonymously presents the companies with a list of candidates, ranked in decreasing order of the degree of match. The system may also notify candidates of positions which match their profiles. Candidates may earn referral fees from companies by referring positions to other candidates.
