20100131418 | Structured Job Search Engine - Candidates use a computer-based system to create profiles of their job experience, skills, interests, and future job requirements. Companies seeking candidates to fill job positions use the system to create profiles of the positions they seek to fill. The system automatically matches candidates to company searches based on their profiles, and confidentially and anonymously presents the companies with a list of candidates, ranked in decreasing order of the degree of match. The system may also notify candidates of positions which match their profiles. Candidates may earn referral fees from companies by referring positions to other candidates. | 05-27-2010 |

20120023083 | University Job Search Engine - A plurality of job candidates have corresponding candidate profiles. Each candidate may be associated with a corresponding candidate entity. For example, the job candidates may be students or recent graduates of universities, in which case the candidate profile of each candidate is associated with that candidate's university. Each university may block one or more criteria in its candidates' profiles from being searched. A computer-implemented system matches the candidate profiles with job profiles provided by employers. The matching process takes into account the criteria blocked by the candidate entities (e.g., universities). As a result, when the matching process matches a particular job profile against a particular candidate profile, the matching process does not match criteria in the particular job profile which are blocked by the profile of the candidate entity associated with the particular candidate profile. | 01-26-2012 |
