Systems, methods, media, and platforms for sourcing and recruiting candidates into an interview process

A method for sourcing and recruiting candidates into an interview process, the method comprising:

• receiving, via an interface, a talent description for conducting a search for at least one candidate, the talent description including at least one search criterion;
• determining, by a processor, a search area of a network based on the at least one search criterion, the search area of the network defining a talent pool, the search area including at least one predetermined website;
• first identifying users of the at least one predetermined website, the talent pool consisting of the users of the at least one predetermined website;
• searching, by the processor, data from the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network based on the at least one search criterion, the data including content posted by the users at the at least one predetermined website, each piece of the content which is posted by the users being associated with one of the users;
• second identifying, by the processor and for a first user of the users, plural pieces of the content posted by the first user;
• third identifying, by the processor and for the first user, metadata associated with the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user to determine whether each of the plural pieces of the content is to be aggregated and evaluated in association with the first user, and filtering, by the processor, the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user based on results of the third identifying;
• aggregating and evaluating, by the processor, filtered pieces of the content posted by the first user based on the at least one search criterion to identify the first user as a first candidate from the talent pool;
• displaying or transmitting, via the interface, information of the first candidate;
• and
• arranging an interview with the first candidate,
• wherein the filtering includes disregarding one of the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user based on the results of the third identifying,
• the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network is stored in a database,
• the at least one predetermined website is stored in the database in advance of the searching of the data from the at least one predetermined website,
• at least one application programming interface is stored in the database for the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network, the at least one application programming interface facilitating the searching of the at least one predetermined website for the data, and
• the method further comprises:
• after identifying the first candidate from the talent pool, determining a profile of the first candidate;
• identifying a previously unidentified location of the network from the profile of the first candidate, the previously unidentified location relating to the at least one search criterion;
• and
• updating the database to store the previously unidentified location of the network.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium including a set of instructions for sourcing and recruiting candidates into an interview process that, when executed by a computer, causes the computer to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via an interface, a talent description for conducting a search for at least one candidate, the talent description including at least one search criterion;
• determining a search area of a network based on the at least one search criterion, the search area of the network defining a talent pool, the search area including at least one predetermined website;
• first identifying users of the at least one predetermined website, the talent pool consisting of the users of the at least one predetermined website;
• searching data from the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network based on the at least one search criterion, the data including content posted by the users at the at least one predetermined website, each piece of the content which is posted by the users being associated with one of the users;
• second identifying, for a first user of the users, plural pieces of the content posted by the first user;
• third identifying, for the first user, metadata associated with the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user to determine whether each of the plural pieces of the content is to be aggregated and evaluated in association with the first user, and filtering the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user based on results of the third identifying;
• aggregating and evaluating filtered pieces of the content posted by the first user based on the at least one search criterion to identify the first user as a first candidate from the talent pool;
• and
• displaying or transmitting information of the first candidate via the interface;
• and
• arranging an interview with the first candidate,
• wherein the filtering includes disregarding one of the plural pieces of the content posted by the first user based on the results of the third identifying,
• the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network is stored in a database,
• the at least one predetermined website is stored in the database in advance of the searching of the data from the at least one predetermined website,
• at least one application programming interface is stored in the database for the at least one predetermined website in the search area of the network, the at least one application programming interface facilitating the searching of the at least one predetermined website for the data, and
• the operations further comprise:
• after identifying the first candidate from the talent pool, determining a profile of the first candidate;
• identifying a previously unidentified location of the network from the profile of the first candidate, the previously unidentified location relating to the at least one search criterion;
• and
• updating the database to store the previously unidentified location of the network.
