Abstract: An improved system and method for matching candidates to a job using job similarity and candidate similarity is provided. A job model with clustered feature datasets may be generated from a corpus of candidate profiles, may be initialized by boosting clustered features weights, and may be iteratively tuned using feedback about the fit of candidates to the job model. A collation of career streams may be generated from a corpus of candidate profiles with a count of occurrences of each career stream within the corpus of candidate profiles. A job profile may be matched to candidate profiles either by determining candidate match scores between a job model of the job profile using clustered feature datasets or by determining job similarity scores between the job profile and jobs in the candidate profiles using career stream counts, or by determining both candidate match scores and job similarity scores.

Abstract: 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.

Abstract: An improved system and method for sourcing and matching candidates to jobs is provided. In an embodiment, a user client may receive a notification having a link to an online application that includes information identifying a job for which a candidate was rejected. The user client may send a request to a job server to run an online application to search for job matches to the job profile for which the candidate was rejected, and a search may also be made for job matches to the candidate profile. A combined list of job matches to the candidate profile and job matches to the job profile for which the candidate was rejected may be ranked. A short list of ranked job matches may be served to a user client which may send a request to a company server to apply for a job on the short list.
