User notifications based on project context

A system comprising:

• one or more computer processors
• a memory;
• and
• one or more computer-readable mediums storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more computer processors, cause the system to:
• receive, via a network interface, candidate attributes from candidate devices of a plurality of candidates and store them in a candidate database in the memory;
• receive, via the network interface, user-entered attributes from a user device of a user that are a first part of project attributes of a project and store the project attributes in a project database in the memory;
• iteratively execute, causing the system
• perform a search for candidates in the candidate database by comparing project attributes with candidate attributes and produce search results;
• provide user notification of newly-matched candidates that includes returning returned candidates that are matching candidates of the search results to the user based on the search, the returned candidates being candidates that the user has not previously seen, and marking the returned candidates as previously seen;
• receive a selected candidate of the returned candidates selected by the user;
• and
• generate context attributes that are a second part of the project attributes from a context attribute source, wherein the generated context attributes include at least one of the user-entered attributes, candidate attributes of the returned candidates, candidate attributes of the selected candidate, candidate attributes of historical candidates, or project attributes of an additional project.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed by one or more computer processors of a computing device, cause the computing device to perform operations comprising:

• receiving, via a network interface, candidate attributes from candidate devices of a plurality of candidates and storing them in a candidate database in a. memory of the computing device;
• receiving, via the network interface, user-entered attributes from a user device of a user that are a first part of project attributes of a project and storing the project attributes in a project database in the memory;
• iteratively executing:
• performing a search for candidates in the candidate database by, comparing project attributes with candidate attributes and producing search results;
• providing user notification of newly-matched candidates that includes returning returned candidates that are matching candidates of the search results to the user based on the search, the returned candidates being candidates that the user has not previously seen, and marking the returned candidates as previously seen;
• receiving a selected candidate of the returned candidates selected by the user;
• and
• generating context attributes that are a second part of the project attributes from a context attribute source, wherein the generated context attributes include at least one of the user-entered attributes, candidate attributes of the returned candidates, candidate attributes of the selected candidate, candidate attributes of historical candidates, or project attributes of an additional project.
