Methods of matching job profiles and candidate profiles

摘要

Methods and computer program products are described for matching candidate profiles and job profiles during a job search or a people search. Methods of matching of a candidate profile with a plurality of job profiles, or a job profile with a plurality of candidate profiles are disclosed. During the disclosed methods a strict initial match between a candidate profile and a plurality of job profiles, or between a job profile and a candidate profile is initially undertaken in order to select matched profiles. Thereafter a fuzzy match between the candidate profile and the matched job profiles, or between a job profile and the matched candidate profile based on the degree of similarity between the respective profiles is used to determine the relevance of the matched profiles. A job or candidate profile and/or a matched job or candidate profile may be forwarded using a social network. The profiles preferably include psychometric information or criteria.
