Abstract
Techniques for visually comparing a first talent pool to a second talent pool are described. A first set of profiles of members of a social network is identified. A second set of profiles of members of the social network is identified. A selection of an attribute in common between the first set of profiles and the second set of profiles is received. A set of visual representations comparing values specified in data fields of the first set of profiles is generated with respect to the attribute and values specified in data fields of the second set of profiles with respect to the attribute in common. The set of visual representations is communicated for presentation in a user interface.
Claims20
A method comprising:
- identifying a first set of profiles of members of a social network based on a matching of a first search query to values of data fields specified in the first set of profiles;
- identifying a second set of profiles of members of the social network based on a matching of a second search query to values of data fields specified in the second set of profiles;
- receiving a selection of an attribute in common between the first set of profiles and the second set of profiles;
- generating a set of visual representations comparing values specified in data fields of the first set of profiles with respect to the attribute and values specified in data fields of the second set of profiles with respect to the attribute in common, the generating of the set of visual representations being performed by one or more computer processors;
- and
- communicating the set of visual representations for presentation in a user interface.
A system comprising:
- one or more computer processors;
- one or more modules implemented by the one or more computer processors, the one or more modules configured to:
- identifying a first set of profiles of members of a social network based on a matching of a first search query to values of data fields specified in the first set of profiles;
- identifying a second set of profiles of members of the social network based on a matching of a second search query to values of data fields specified in the second set of profiles;
- receiving a selection of an attribute in common between the first set of profiles and the second set of profiles;
- generating a set of visual representations comparing values specified in data fields of the first set of profiles with respect to the attribute and values specified in data fields of the second set of profiles with respect to the attribute in common, the generating of the set of visual representations being performed by one or more computer processors;
- and
- communicating the set of visual representations for presentation in a user interface.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions thereon, which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations, the operations comprising:
- identifying a first set of profiles of members of a social network based on a matching of a first search query to values of data fields specified in the first set of profiles;
- identifying a second set of profiles of members of the social network based on a matching of a second search query to values of data fields specified in the second set of profiles;
- receiving a selection of an attribute in common between the first set of profiles and the second set of profiles;
- generating a set of visual representations comparing values specified in data fields of the first set of profiles with respect to the attribute and values specified in data fields of the second set of profiles with respect to the attribute in common, the generating of the set of visual representations being performed by one or more computer processors;
- and
- communicating the set of visual representations for presentation in a user interface.
