COMPUTER-IMPLEMENTED METHOD AND COMPUTER SYSTEM FOR GENERATING AND USING A SUITABILITY SCORE

摘要

An automatic process is proposed in which a computer extracts data relating to an individual from a social media site, and automatically compares the extracted data with a job description to form a numerical suitability index. Since the data is extracted from a social media site, its coverage is not limited to individuals who are part of a database maintained by a recruitment consultant. The numerical suitability indices for a plurality of individuals are used to screen the individuals, to select individuals to participate in further stages of a recruitment process. Thus, an automatic screening of the individuals is possible, saving considerable time. In one example, if a large number of individuals have applied for a job, they can be screened automatically, to produce manageable short-list of candidates.
