Abstract
System and Method For Agency Based Posting and Searching For Job Openings Via a Computer System and Network for use by placement agents who normally would not have access to files in a career bulletin board. The system gives placement agents the opportunity to interact directly with corporate recruiters who are members of the system. Communication between the placement agent and the corporate member is permitted only if so designated by the corporate member. Utilities for the corporate member allow jobs to be defined, stored, and conveyed to preferred placement agents. Utilities for placement agents permit candidates to be registered, candidate profiles to be created, and sent to the corporate member who is the client of the placement agent.
