SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR DATA MINING MESSAGING SYSTEMS TO DISCOVER REFERENCES TO COMPANIES WITH JOB OPPORTUNITIES MATCHING A CANDIDATE

摘要

An improved system and method for data mining messaging systems to discover references to companies with job opportunities matching a candidate is provided. The system and method disclosed may receive messages from messaging systems of a candidate and may construct a reference graph and a company graph that may provide a mapping to match a candidate with job opportunities identified from companies with a relationship to references. Job opportunities identified from the companies may be ranked by a match score weighted by a referral score. The system and method may thus rank job opportunities at those companies for a candidate where there is a relevant job for the candidate and the strongest references for the candidate. A list of job matches to the candidate that includes a list of references ordered by reference strength for each job match may be served for display to the candidate.
