Abstract

The disclosed embodiments illustrate methods and systems for ranking a plurality of questions for a job interview. The method includes determining, for a question from the plurality of questions, a first score based on at least metadata associated with a job-profile, and a candidate-profile. The method further includes determining, for the question, a second score based on at least a count of responses to the question associated with previous interviews. The method further includes determining, for the question, a third score based on at least a selection of the question by interviewers in the previous interviews. The method further includes ranking each of the plurality of questions based on at least a weighted sum of the first score, the second score, and the third score. Further, the method includes displaying the ranked plurality of questions, based on at least a preference of an interviewer for the plurality of questions.

Claims23

Dependent claims

A method for ranking a plurality of questions for a job interview, the method comprising:

extracting, by one or more processors, the plurality of questions from a repository of questions, stored in a database server, based on at least a preference for the plurality of questions received from an interviewer-computing device;
for a question from the plurality of questions:
determining, by the one or more processors, a first score based on one or more of:
one or more first metadata associated with a job-profile, and one or more second metadata associated with a candidate-profile;
determining, by the one or more processors, a second score based on a count of correct responses and a count of incorrect responses to the question associated with one or more previous interviews;
and
determining, by the one or more processors, a third score based on at least a selection of the question from the plurality of questions by one or more interviewers in the one or more previous interviews;
ranking, by the one or more processors, the plurality of questions based on at least a weighted sum of the first score, the second score, and the third score associated with each of the plurality of questions;
and
presenting, by the one or more processors, a user interface on a display screen of an interviewer-computing device displaying the ranked plurality of questions, based on at least the preference of an interviewer for the plurality of questions.

7 more elements

A job interview assistance system, the system comprising:

one or more processors in a data processing unit, wherein the data processing unit is connected to a terminal device relating to a provider of data via a communication network, the one or more processors being configured to:
for a question from a plurality of questions:
determine a first score based on one or more of:
one or more first metadata associated with a job-profile, and one or more second metadata associated with a candidate-profile;
determine a second score based on a count of correct responses and a count of incorrect responses to the question associated with one or more previous interviews;
and
determine a third score based on at least a selection of the question from the plurality of questions by one or more interviewers in the one or more previous interviews;
rank the plurality of questions based on at least a weighted sum of the first score, the second score, and the third score associated with each of the plurality of questions;
and
present a user interface on a display screen of an interviewer-computing device displaying the ranked plurality of questions, based on at least a preference of an interviewer for the plurality of questions.
