Methods and system for estimating job and career transition capabilities of candidates in a database

摘要

Method and apparatus are disclosed for estimating job and career transition capabilities of candidates in a database. An example system for processing a search query indicative of a candidate to hire includes a database including records of a plurality of profiles, a network connector to provide access to the database via an application programming interface, and a computing device. The computing device periodically generates a first score representing a likelihood that a person associated with the respective profile will respond to a communication regarding a job in a particular category. The computing device also, in response to receiving a search query (a) generates a second score representing a probabilistic measurement of a likelihood that the person associated with the retrieved profile will change jobs, (b) generates a third score representative of a percentile level of activity associated with searching for a new job.
