Abstract
Computer-implemented methods, computer-readable media, and computer systems for acquiring talent for organizations. In response to receiving input to search for candidates for a job in an organization, multiple candidates that are internal to the organization and multiple candidates that are external to the organization are identified. In addition, ranking of the multiple internal job candidates and ranking of the multiple external job candidates according to a respective match of each candidate to the job is also identified. A combined ranking, which is generated by combining both rankings, provided.
Claims20
A method performed by data processing apparatus to present candidates for a job, the method comprising:
- receiving input to search for candidates for a job in an organization;
- in response to receiving the input to search for candidates for the job in the organization:
- identifying first data describing a plurality of internal job candidates, wherein each internal job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is internal to the organization, the first data including a first ranking of the plurality of internal job candidates according to a respective match of each internal job candidate to the job;
- identifying second data describing a plurality of external job candidates, wherein each external job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is external to the organization, the second data including a second ranking of the plurality of external job candidates according to a respective match of each external job candidate to the job;
- generating a combined ranking by combining the first ranking and the second ranking;
- and
- providing one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and one or more of the plurality of external job candidates in a user interface according to the combined ranking of the one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and the one or more of the plurality of external job candidates.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving input to search for candidates for a job;
- in response to receiving the input to search for candidates for the job:
- identifying first data describing a plurality of internal job candidates, wherein each internal job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is internal to the organization, the first data including a first ranking of the plurality of internal job candidates according to a respective match of each internal job candidate to the job;
- identifying second data describing a plurality of external job candidates, wherein each external job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is external to the organization, the second data including a second ranking of the plurality of external job candidates according to a respective match of each external job candidate to the job;
- generating a combined ranking by combining the first ranking and the second ranking;
- and
- providing one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and one or more of the plurality of external job candidates in a user interface according to the combined ranking of the one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and the one or more of the plurality of external job candidates.
A system comprising:
- one or more data processing apparatus;
- and
- a computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by the one or more data processing apparatus to perform operations comprising:
- receiving input to search for candidates for a job;
- in response to receiving the input to search for candidates for the job:
- identifying first data describing a plurality of internal job candidates, wherein each internal job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is internal to the organization, the first data including a first ranking of the plurality of internal job candidates according to a respective match of each internal job candidate to the job;
- identifying second data describing a plurality of external job candidates, wherein each external job candidate is a candidate for the job in the organization and is external to the organization, the second data including a second ranking of the plurality of external job candidates according to a respective match of each external job candidate to the job;
- generating a combined ranking by combining the first ranking and the second ranking;
- and
- providing one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and one or more of the plurality of external job candidates in a user interface according to the combined ranking of the one or more of the plurality of internal job candidates and the one or more of the plurality of external job candidates.
