Abstract: The Candidate Chaser machine and method automatically locates Internet site pages and web postings which contain operator specified keywords or Boolean combinations and then extracts all electronic mail addresses from those pages as well as hyper-linked pages to as many linking levels as selected by the operator and then sends a job opportunity description in the form of an electronic mail message to each of the extracted addresses then receives responses from recipients of the job opportunity message then filters those messages by reading their text and forwards only desired responses to the candidate seeking client's electronic mail address thusly sparing the client interaction with large amounts of irrelevant response while presenting viable candidates for a given job opening.
