Patent Images
1. A computer-implemented method for standardizing profile information into a standardized profile, the method comprising:
- collecting profile information from one or more sources comprising at least one social networking source;
identifying, from the collected profile information, one or more attributes of a person describing education obtained by the person, a career history of the person, and location information associated with the person;
mapping the education obtained by the person to a standardized education level based at least in part on the location information;
predicting, from the career history of the person, employee skills accumulated by the person during the career history; and
creating the standardized profile based at least in part on the derived job skills and the standardized education level.

11. A computer-implemented method for identifying potential employees for an employer, the method comprising:
-
receiving indications of interest in the employer from one or more people; creating a community of people that are interested in the employer based on the received indications; receiving a request from the employer for candidates for an unfilled position at the employer, the request including job skills associated with the unfilled position; identifying standardized profiles for a plurality of people from the community, each standardized profile describing employee skills accumulated by a person associated with the profile during a career of the person, wherein at least one skill described by each of the standardized competency profiles matches a job skill associated with the unfilled position; ranking each identified standardized competency profile based at least in part on a length of time in which the at least one skill was performed by the person associated with the identified standardized competency profile and a length of time since the at least one skill was last performed by the person; and providing a ranked list of the identified standardized competency profiles to the employer based on the ranking. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
