Abstract
In general, the invention relates to a method for identifying a job candidate. The method includes determining new job characteristics for the new job using a job record corresponding to the new job, identifying an old job using the new job characteristics and old job characteristics, where the old job is similar to the new job and where a similarity between the old job and the new job is quantified using a job similarity factor. The method further includes selecting a job candidate, where the job candidate has applied for the old job, determining a candidate matching factor for the job candidate based on the old job, determining a rating for the job candidate using the job similarity factor and the candidate matching factor for the job candidate, and identifying the job candidate to contact about the job based on the rating.
