Abstract

An improved system for facilitating job recruitment is disclosed. The embodiments comprise a job recruitment website that matches employers and job applicants. The website presents a job applicant with a short list of relevant job opportunities and presents an employer with a short list of relevant candidates who satisfy the criteria of the job opening. This results in a system that is suitable for use on a mobile phone.

Claims

1. A method of identifying top candidates for an employer, comprising:

identifying, by a first computing device, essential criteria and optimal criteria for a job opportunity;

identifying, by a data extraction service running on a second computing device, a set of candidates who satisfy the essential criteria and generating a first dataset;

ranking, by the data extraction service, candidates within the first dataset based on optimal criteria;

transmitting, by the second computing device to the first computing device, a list of the top M candidates from the ranking step, where M is an integer;

displaying, by the first computing device, the top M candidates.

2. The method of claim 1, wherein the essential criteria comprise one or more of the following:

college degree, years of experience, and job location.

3. The method of claim 2, wherein the optimal criteria comprise years of experience.

4. The method of claim 1, wherein the optimal criteria comprise a plurality of criteria.

6. The method of claim 1, wherein M is predetermined by a user.

7. The method of claim 1, wherein the first computing device is a mobile device.

8. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting comprises providing a web page.

9. The method of claim 1, wherein the transmitting comprises sending an MMS or SMS message.

10. The method of claim 1, further comprising authenticating the employer by an authentication service running on the second computing device.

5. The method of claim 5, wherein the ranking step comprises performing a weighting algorithm using the optimal criteria to generate a score for each candidate in the first dataset.

11. A method of identifying top job opportunities for a candidate, comprising:

identifying, by a first computing device, essential criteria and optimal criteria for a job opportunity;

identifying, by a data extraction service running on a second computing device, a set of job opportunities that satisfy the essential criteria to generate a first dataset;

ranking, by the data extraction service, job opportunities within the first dataset based on the optimal criteria; and

transmitting, by the second computing device to the first computing device, a list of the top N job opportunities from the ranking step, where N is an integer;

displaying, by the first computing device, the top N job opportunities.

12. The method of claim 11, wherein the essential criteria comprise one or more of the following:

salary, health insurance, and job location.

13. The method of claim 12, wherein the optimal criteria comprises:

14. The method of claim 11, wherein the optimal criteria comprises a plurality of criteria.

16. The method of claim 11, wherein N is predetermined by the candidate.

17. The method of claim 11, wherein the computing device is a mobile device.

18. The method of claim 11, wherein the transmitting comprises providing a web page.

19. The method of claim 11, wherein the transmitting comprises sending an MMS or SMS message.

20. The method of claim 11, further comprising authenticating the candidate by an authentication service running on the second computing device.

15. The method of claim 15, wherein the ranking step comprises performing a weighting algorithm using the optimal criteria to generate a score for each job opportunity in the first dataset.
