Abstract:

The present disclosure details apparatuses, systems and methods for an Interactive Employment Search Platform enabling interactive employment searching and skills specification. The Platform enables employers and job seekers to easily identify, connect, and coordinate with one another. The disclosed systems and methods collect profile data for jobs, employers, and job seekers. This profile data includes a specification of skill levels either possessed or desired, in the case of job seekers, or required/recommended, in the case of job listings. Skill sets may then be compared to determine the congruency between job listings and job seekers, as well as to supply information about skill deficiencies. Additionally, the Platform generates extended job seeker profiles containing job listing ratings that enable future job listing searches with highly tailored specificity. By connecting job seekers with the employment opportunities most closely associated with their skills and interests, the Platform effectively increases the efficiency and success potential of hiring efforts.
