Abstract
Staffing needs may be processed automatically by a staffing fulfillment system that determines the requirements of a staffing position, identifies personnel qualified to fill the position and notifies the identified personnel of the staffing need. A database may store personnel profiles detailing skills, qualifications and other credentials of the individual such that the fulfillment system may automatically identify individuals that are qualified to fill a need. A response from personnel may be evaluated by the system to determine whether the individual is available and willing to fill the need. The system may then fill the need if the response is positive and notify an employer that the position or need has been filled.
