Abstract
A system maintains member profiles and job postings on a social networking service, a business networking service, or a job posting service. The system displays a member profile to a job recruiter or a job posting to a job candidate. The system receives from the job recruiter an indication of an interest in the job candidate, and receives from the job candidate an indication of an interest in the job posting. After receiving both the interest of the recruiter and the interest of the member, the system transmits a message to the recruiter informing the recruiter of the interest of the job candidate and transmits a message to the job candidate informing the job candidate of the interest of the recruiter.
