Systems and Methods for Increasing Users of a Job Listing Service

Abstract

Systems and methods for importing information about job opening candidates or employers into a database are provided. Information is extracted from a store of job candidate information and imported into the database. References or contacts, e.g., from letters of recommendation, work history items on a resume, and other documents, may also be imported. Accounts and/or profiles for the imported entities may be created. The imported entities are sent an invitation to use and/or sign up for the system. The imported job applications may be grouped by the job being applied for and each group associated with a particular job listing in the database. The system may automatically create job listings if no association can be made. Job listings may be cross-posted to other job listing services, and information from received resumes/job applications may be imported.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
