1. A method comprising:
- receiving a request to present one or more member profiles of members of a social network service;
responsive to the request, identifying a set of member profiles satisfying search criteria specified as part of the request;
with a processor-based ranking module, generating a ranking score for each member profile in the identified set of member profiles, the ranking score based in part on a job-seeker score or job-seeker classification associated with each respective member profile in the identified set of member profiles, the job-seeker score or job-seeker classification representing the likelihood that a respective member of the social network service is open to a change in employment position; and
causing a portion of the set of member profiles to be presented in a user interface in order of the ranking score generated for each respective member profile.

Abstract
Techniques are described herein for deriving, for each member of a social network service, a metric representing the job-seeking propensity of the member. Additionally, techniques for classifying each member with a job-seeking status (e.g., active job-seeker, passive job-seeker, or non-job-seeker) are described. A score-generating algorithm will analyze a variety of input data—including member profile data, social graph data, and activity or behavior data—to derive a job-seeker score, representing the job-seeking propensity of a member. Once derived, the metric is used to customize, personalize or otherwise tailor a user-experience.
