Abstract
A location-based system that is able to match job seekers with employers based on the geographic location detected by the job seeker's mobile phone and the location of the work in the job posting. This system may be used by employers to fill an urgent need, such as an upcoming event or shift occurring in days or hours. In some embodiments, the system automatically selects job seekers for employers based on a rating system for job seekers; the rating system may be based on surveys performed by employers regarding the job seeker's performance in previous job postings.
Claims20
A computer-implemented method for operating one or more servers to match time-sensitive job opportunities with job seekers, the method comprising:
- determining a current location of a job seeker, wherein the job seeker is associated with one or more job qualifications;
- in response to receiving a job search request including a maximum geographic distance from the job seeker and a work availability time period, searching the one or more servers for job postings that satisfy a search criteria of:
- (1) the maximum geographic distance from the job seeker;
- (2) a start time and an end time of job postings within the work availability time period;
- and (3) the one or more job qualifications;
- generating a presentation on a display of a computing device of the job seeker, the presentation including a map showing locations of the job postings satisfying the search criteria while concurrently providing a user interface from which the job seeker can apply for one or more of the job postings;
- in response to a triggered job fulfillment process for an upcoming job posting, the one or more servers programmatically assigning one or more job seekers to the upcoming job posting based, at least in part, on a service reputation rating of those job seekers, wherein the service reputation rating represents feedback from one or more employers on a job seeker;
- communicating, using the one or more servers, an acceptance notification message to job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting;
- generating, prior to a start time for the job posting, a presentation on a display of a mobile computing device of an employer associated with the upcoming job posting, the presentation including a map that depicts transit progress information, including a current geographic location of one or more job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting based on a global positioning system (GPS) resource of respective mobile computing devices of job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting, wherein the presentation includes a user interface for the employer to select a start time and an end time based on arrival and withdrawal times of job seekers;
- and
- determining a payment for one or more job seekers based, at least in part, on the start time and the end time selected on the mobile computing device of the employer.

A system for matching time-sensitive job opportunities with job seekers, the system comprising:
- one or more network interfaces to communication with a computing device of each job seeker and with a computing device of each employer;
- and
- one or more processors coupled to the one or more network interfaces, the one or more processors to:
- determine a current location of a job seeker, wherein the job seeker is associated with one or more job qualifications;
- in response to receiving a job search request including a maximum geographic distance from the job seeker and a work availability time period, search for job postings that satisfy a search criteria of:
- (1) the maximum geographic distance from the job seeker;
- (2) a start time and an end time of job postings within the work availability time period;
- and (3) the one or more job qualifications;
- generate a presentation on a display of the computing device of the job seeker, the presentation including a map showing locations of the job postings satisfying the search criteria while concurrently providing a user interface from which the job seeker can apply for one or more of the job postings;
- trigger a job fulfillment process for an upcoming job posting by programmatically assigning one or more job seekers to the upcoming job posting based, at least in part, on a service reputation rating of those job seekers;
- communicate an acceptance notification message to job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting;
- generate, prior to a start time for the job posting, a presentation on a display of the computing device of an employer associated with the upcoming job posting, the presentation including a map that depicts transit progress information, including a current geographic location of one or more job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting based on a global positioning system (GPS) resource of respective mobile computing devices of job seekers assigned to the upcoming job posting, wherein the presentation includes a user interface for the employer to select a start time and an end time based on arrival and withdrawal times of job seekers;
- and
- determine a payment for one or more job seekers based, at least in part, on the start time and the end time selected on the mobile computing device of the employer.
