1. A computer readable medium having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to:

  • identify a job requisition that has been selected by a user within a set of job requisitions;

    receive a request from the user to display a tag cloud, the tag cloud displaying a plurality of tags differently in accordance with a weighted value of each tag;

    determine whether to display a public tag cloud or a private tag cloud;

    display the public tag cloud that displays one or more tags with a public attribute when it is determined to display the public tag cloud;

    display the private tag cloud that displays one or more tags with a private attribute and associated with the user when it is determined to display the private tag cloud and the user is authenticated;

    permit the user to add a new tag or modify or delete the tag displayed in the tag cloud to create a tag for the selected job requisition, wherein the created tag comprises a descriptor that summarizes a subject matter and general content of the selected job requisition;

    permit the user to specify attributes for the created tag, wherein each attribute contributes to a display of the created tag within the tag cloud, the attributes comprising the private attribute and the public attribute;

    associate the created tag with the selected job requisition; and

    update the weighted value of the created tag, wherein the weighted value contributes to differentiating the display of the created tag within the tag cloud;

    wherein the public tag cloud is accessible to the authenticated user and non-authenticated users;

    further causing the processor to determine if the authenticated user is responsible for managing the selected job requisition, wherein if the authenticated user is not responsible for managing the selected job requisition, then the authenticated user is only authorized to modify tags that have been created by the authenticated user; and

    if the authenticated user is responsible for managing the selected job requisition, then the authenticated user is authorized to modify (i) tags created by the authenticated user and (ii) tags with public attributes that have been created by other authenticated users.
