AUTOMATED SYSTEM FOR RATING EMPLOYER SCREENING PRACTICES AND CORPORATE MANAGEMENT
First Claim
1. A system for selecting an industry entity (IE) based upon rating selected screening practices (SPs) of the IEs by a remote user employing a user communication device, comprising:
- a controller;
wherein the user communication device is operably connected to the controller;
an IE storage device that can be accessed by a remote user through the user communication device and store, through the controller, values of employer'"'"'s screening practices of a plurality of Industry Entities (IEs);
a parameter storage device remotely accessible by the remote user through the user communication device having a prestored list of employer'"'"'s screening practices (SPs) to be used by the controller to determine a rating for a selected industry;
a weighting factor storage device capable of storing weighting factors (WFs) that each indicate an importance of each selected screening practice (SP);
the controller coupled to the IE storage device, the parameter storage device, and the weighting factor storage device, wherein the processor includes a set of instructions that when executed;
acquire a plurality of selected employer'"'"'s screening practices (SPs) from the parameter storage device;
acquire values of the plurality of selected employer'"'"'s screening practices from the IE storage device;
acquire corresponding weighting factors (WFs) from the weighting factor storage device 160;
determine a rating for each IE by summing each selected employer'"'"'s screening practice (SP) value multiplied by its corresponding weighting factor (WF);
electronically transmitting the rating to, and displaying the rating on the user communication device of the remote user; and
selecting, by the remote user, an IE based upon the rating.

Abstract
A novel automated system develops a uniform rating of screening practices of organizations/industry entities (IEs) in a given industry. The uniform rating is based upon objective employee screening practices during pre-employment screening. The system allows IEs to view employee screening parameters of their own records stored on the system, add information and update the values of these employee screening parameters. These records are also made available to all users. The system creates weighting factors based upon the relative importance of each employee screening parameters then creates the rating based upon a combination of the weighted employee screening practices used by an IE. This rating reflects an estimate of the completeness, or thoroughness of the employment screening practices of each IE which has a direct effect upon the quality of the employees hired and ultimately upon the quality of the products produced by these employees or the services rendered.

6. A system for aiding a remote user in selecting an industry entity (IE) to employ based upon rating of the thoroughness of the screening practices (SPs) of IEs comprising:
-
a user communication device capable of receiving user input and communicating with remote computing devices; a controller capable of communicating with the user communication device; a parameter storage device having prestored selected screening practices (SPs) relevant to the current industry; a weighting factor storage device capable of storing weighting factors (WFs) indicative of the importance of each of the selected screening practices (SPs); an IE storage device capable of storing values for each of the selected screening practices (SPs) for each IE; wherein the controller includes a set of instructions that when executed receives the selected screening practices (SPs) from the parameter storage device, the corresponding values for each selected screening practice (SP) from the IE storage, and the weighting factors (WFs) for each of the selected screening practice (SP) from the weighting factor storage device, multiplies the value for each screening practice (SP) by its corresponding weighting factor (WF) to create products for all selected screening practices (SPs), and sums all products to create a rating for each IE, and provides the ratings to the user communication device to display to the user aiding the user in selecting and hiring an IE. - View Dependent Claims (7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12)

13. A system to objectively create and publish a rating of employment screening practices (SPs) of industry entities (IE) to a user aiding the user in hiring an IE, comprising:
-
a parameter storage device having a plurality of pre-stored employment screening practices (SPs) which are relevant to a given industry; a weighting factor storage device for storing weighting factors (WFs) each indicating a relative importance with each associated selected screening practice (SPs); an IE storage device for storing a value for each selected screening practices (SPs) indicating those screening practices (SPs) that are currently being performed by each of the IEs; industry entity communication devices coupled to the controller, which communicate information between Industry Entities (IEs) and the IE storage device through the controller; wherein the controller multiplies each of the (WFs) in the weighting factor storage device 160 by the values of their corresponding (SPs) in parameter storage device 170 and sums these products for all selected screening practices (SPs) to result in the rating of each IE that is stored in the IE storage device, that is used by user to hire an IE. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
