Abstract
A method of facilitating a match between an employer with at least one job opening and job seekers is provided. The employer has a set of position preferences related to the job opening. The job seekers have suitability data, resumes, etc., that are provided to the employer. The suitability data includes normalized assessment data. The method includes the steps of: determining a position quotient based on the position preferences; deriving a performance quotient for each job seeker, the performance quotient including normalized assessment data; comparing each the performance quotient to the position quotient; and ranking each the job seeker based on the comparison of the performance quotient to the position quotient.

A method of implementing a facilitator module on a facilitator device that enables the facilitator device to match an employer having one or more employees and at least one job opening to one or more job seekers, said method comprising:
- determining a position quotient for the job opening with the facilitator module by:
- receiving, by the facilitator module, selection of one or more non-numerical position preferences for the job opening;
- assigning numerical position preference values for each of the one or more non-numerical position preferences;
- multiplying one or more of values of the position quotient by at least one weighting value with the facilitator module;
- determining a performance quotient for each of the job seekers with the facilitator module by:
- inputting non-normalized suitability data of the job seekers with the facilitator module;
- and
- converting the non-normalized suitability data into normalized assessment data with the facilitator module by selecting a standard assessment and conforming all of the non-normalized suitability data to the standard assessment;
- ranking each of said job seekers with the facilitator module with respect to both the job opening and each other by determining if values of the performance quotient of the job seeker match the numerical position preference values of the position quotient;
- and
- generating and providing a ranking document to a user on the facilitator device with the facilitator module, the ranking document illustrating the ranking of each of said job seekers with respect to the job opening and to each other.
A facilitator device for matching an employer having one or more employees and at least one job opening to one or more job seekers, the facilitator device comprising:
- a processor;
- and
- a non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a facilitator module that when executed by the processor causes the facilitator device to perform a method comprising:
- determining a position quotient for the job opening by:
- receiving, by the facilitator module, selection of one or more non-numerical position preferences for the job opening;
- assigning numerical position preference values for each of the one or more non-numerical position preferences;
- multiplying one or more of values of the position quotient by at least one weighting value;
- determining a performance quotient for each of the job seekers by:
- inputting non-normalized suitability data of the job seekers;
- and
- converting the non-normalized suitability data into normalized assessment data by selecting a standard assessment and conforming all of the non-normalized suitability data to the standard assessment;
- ranking each of said job seekers with respect to both the job opening and each other by determining if values of the performance quotient of the job seeker match the numerical position preference values of the position quotient;
- and
- generating and providing a ranking document to a user on the facilitator device, the ranking document illustrating the ranking of each of said job seekers with respect to the job opening and to each other.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing a facilitator module for matching an employer having one or more employees and at least one job opening to one or more job seekers, wherein when executed by a processor the facilitator module performs a method comprising:
- determining a position quotient for the job opening by:
- receiving, by the facilitator module, selection of one or more non-numerical position preferences for the job opening;
- assigning numerical position preference values for each of the one or more non-numerical position preferences;
- multiplying one or more of values of the position quotient by at least one weighting value;
- determining a performance quotient for each of the job seekers by:
- inputting non-normalized suitability data of the job seekers;
- and
- converting the non-normalized suitability data into normalized assessment data by selecting a standard assessment and conforming all of the non-normalized suitability data to the standard assessment;
- ranking each of said job seekers with respect to both the job opening and each other by determining if values of the performance quotient of the job seeker match the numerical position preference values of the position quotient;
- and
- generating and providing a ranking document to a user on the facilitator device, the ranking document illustrating the ranking of each of said job seekers with respect to the job opening and to each other.
A method of implementing a facilitator module on a facilitator device that enables the facilitator device to match at least one job opening of a job opening database to one or more job seekers of a job seeking database, said method comprising:
- determining a position quotient for the job opening with the facilitator module by:
- receiving, by the facilitator module, selection of one or more non-numerical position preferences for the job opening;
- automatically assigning numerical position preference values for each of the one or more non-numerical position preferences;
- determining a performance quotient for each of the job seekers with the facilitator module by:
- inputting non-normalized suitability data of the job seekers with the facilitator module;
- and
- converting the non-normalized suitability data into normalized assessment data with the facilitator module by selecting a standard assessment and conforming all of the non-normalized suitability data to the standard assessment;
- ranking each of said job seekers with the facilitator module with respect to both the job opening and each other by determining if values of the performance quotient of the job seeker match the numerical position preference values of the position quotient;
- and
- generating and providing a ranking document to a user on the facilitator device with the facilitator module, the ranking document illustrating the ranking of each of said job seekers with respect to the job opening and to each other.
A method of implementing a facilitator module on a facilitator device that enables the facilitator device to match at least one job opening to one or more job seekers, said method comprising:
- identifying the job seekers for the job opening with the facilitator module;
- determining a position quotient for the job opening with the facilitator module by assigning numerical position preference values for each of one or more non-numerical position preferences;
- determining a performance quotient for a subset of the job seekers with the facilitator module by:
- inputting non-normalized suitability data including hard attributes of the job seekers with the facilitator module;
- selecting the subset of the job seekers based on the hard attributes of the suitability data of the job seekers;
- and
- converting the non-normalized suitability data of the subset into normalized assessment data with the facilitator module by selecting a standard assessment and conforming all of the non-normalized suitability data to the standard assessment;
- ranking each of the subset with the facilitator module with respect to both the job opening and each other by determining if values of the performance quotient of the job seeker match the numerical position preference values of the position quotient;
- and
- generating and providing a ranking document to a user on the facilitator device with the facilitator module, the ranking document illustrating the ranking of each job seeker of the subset with respect to the job opening and to each other.
