Method and system for managing one or more human resource functions in an organization

A candidate screening system comprising:

• an application server comprising a memory and one or more processors configured to:
• receive job applications from candidates;
• group, in real time as the job applications are received, the candidates into one or more batches based on a predetermined time duration, a count of candidates, and a chronology of reception of the job applications from the candidates, each batch of the one or more batches comprising a set of candidates from the candidates;
• generating a sliding window superimposed over the one or more batches, the sliding window being a virtual window in the memory, the sliding window encompassing a first sequence of batches, at a first time instance, wherein a length of the sliding window corresponds to a time interval within which the first sequence of batches are created, the first sequence of batches comprising an oldest batch chronologically in the sequence;
• for each batch in the first sequence of batches encompassed by the sliding window, rank the set of candidates in the batch based on a score assigned to each candidate, wherein the score is determined based on a dot product between a candidate skill vector representing skills of each candidate and a required skill vector representing required skills of a job opportunity;
• create a new batch of candidates comprised by the one or more batches;
• in response to creating the new batch of candidates, at a second time instance, move, the sliding window to encompass a second sequence of batches comprising the new batch of candidates and, thereby, delete the chronologically oldest batch from the sliding window;
• and
• select a predetermined number of top ranking candidates as a subset of candidates from the chronologically oldest batch encompassed by the sliding window at the first time instance for one of the job opportunity, wherein the set of candidates from the chronologically oldest batch comprises the subset, constituting a first set and a first subset of candidates respectively;
• and
• a recruiter-computing device configured to display the first subset of candidates through a user-interface.

A computer program product for use with a candidate screening system comprising an application server, the computer program product comprising a non-transitory computer readable medium, the non-transitory computer readable medium stores a computer program code, the computer program code is executable by one or more processors in the application server to:

• receive job applications from candidates;
• group, in real time as the job applications are received, the candidates into one or more batches based on a predetermined time duration, a count of candidates, and a chronology of reception of the job applications from the candidates, each batch of the one or more batches comprising a set of candidates from the candidates;
• generate a sliding window superimposed over the one or more batches, the sliding window being a virtual window in a memory of the candidate screening system, the sliding window encompassing a first sequence of batches, at a first time instance, wherein a length of the sliding window corresponds to a time interval within which the first sequence of batches are created, the first sequence of batches comprising an oldest batch chronologically in the sequence;
• for each batch in the first batches encompassed by the sliding window, rank the set of candidates in the batch based on a score assigned to each candidate, wherein the score is determined based on a dot product between a candidate skill vector representing skills of each candidate and a required skill vector representing required skills of a job opportunity;
• create a new batch of candidates comprised by the one or more batches;
• in response to creating the new batch of candidates, at a second time instance, move the sliding window to encompass a second sequence of batches comprising the new batch of candidates and, thereby, delete the chronologically oldest batch from the sliding window;
• select a predetermined number of top ranking candidates as a subset of candidates from the chronologically oldest batch encompassed by the sliding window at the first time instance for one of the job opportunity, wherein the set of candidates from the chronologically oldest batch comprises the subset, constituting a first set and a first subset of candidates respectively;
• and
• displaying the first subset of candidates through a user-interface of a recruiter-computing device.
