Definitions

  • the present invention is generally directed to apparatuses, methods and systems for employment searching, and more particularly, to apparatuses, methods and systems for interactively searching, rating, and selecting employment listings.
  • This disclosure details the implementation of the apparatuses, methods, and systems for an Interactive Employment Search Platform (hereafter "Platform”) enabling interactive searching, rating, and selecting of employment listings.
  • the Platform allows employers and job seekers to easily identify, connect, and coordinate with one another.
  • Current methods provide only limited and passive employment search capabilities, and significant additional effort is required for job seekers to identify the opportunities best suited to them from a listing of nominal job matches. This additional effort frustrates the efficiency and efficacy of job placement efforts from both employer and job seeker perspectives.
  • the disclosed apparatuses, methods and systems allow users to rate job listings, titles, positions, keywords, and results; it also allows for the provision of job seeker feedback regarding the suitability of employment opportunities, comprised of ratings conferred on job listings and their characterizing indices.
  • This interactive approach facilitates the assignment of scores based on these ratings to job listings for a particular job seeker, thus matching job seekers with the opportunities for which they are most suited, improving the effectiveness of the job search process, increasing the satisfaction level of both employers and job seekers, and benefiting the labor market as a whole.
