Identification of job candidates based on statistical process

A computer program product including computer instructions for identifying at least one candidate for a job, the computer instructions including instructions for:

• calculating, for each candidate from a plurality of candidates, a list of attribute values including a value for each attribute from a list of attributes;
• calculating, for each candidate, a first value wherein the first value is calculated based on the list of attribute values;
• reading a list of ideal responses to a set of questions, wherein the set of questions corresponds to the job;
• reading, for each candidate, a list of responses to the set of questions, wherein the list of responses were provided by the candidate;
• calculating, for each candidate, a list of response values by comparing the list of ideal responses to the list of responses provided by the candidate, wherein the list of response values includes a value for each response from the list of responses;
• calculating, for each candidate, a second value wherein the second value is calculated based on the list of response values;
• and
• calculating, for each candidate, a third value based on the first value and the second value.

A computer system for identifying at least one candidate for a job, comprising a processor configured for:

• calculating, for each candidate from a plurality of candidates, a list of attribute values including a value for each attribute from a list of attributes;
• calculating, for each candidate, a first value wherein the first value is calculated based on the list of attribute values;
• reading a list of ideal responses to a set of questions, wherein the set of questions corresponds to the job;
• reading, for each candidate, a list of responses to the set of questions, wherein the list of responses were provided by the candidate;
• calculating, for each candidate, a list of response values by comparing the list of ideal responses to the list of responses provided by the candidate, wherein the list of response values includes a value for each response from the list of responses;
• calculating, for each candidate, a second value wherein the second value is calculated based on the list of response values;
• and
• calculating, for each candidate, a third value based on the first value and the second value.
