SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR PROVIDING COMPUTER-ENABLED EMPLOYMENT SEARCH SERVICES

摘要

A computerised employment search services system (10) and method (200) provides an Internet accessible job board of aggregated job vacancy listings taken directly from prospective employer's websites (50) and categorised according to predetermined rules (30). The system (10) enables searching for jobs by category and sub-category, which is highly desirable to job seekers but is not possible simply by aggregating job listings and relying on the employer's title for classification. Furthermore, the system (10) addresses the technical problem of automating the classification of jobs scraped from the websites of disparate employers by parsing job advertisement data into predetermined data fields, and applying stored job category rules (328), which are established based on relationships between employer organisations and contents of the data fields, in order to assign categories and sub-categories to scraped jobs.
