  • Patent number: 11748710
    Abstract: Improved systems and methods of facilitating placement of candidates between employers and recruiters are provided. In various implementations, such systems and methods provide an integrated interface within the ATS platform for employers and integrated interface within the talent platforms for recruiters. In another implementation, a talent platform exchange is provided that permits disparate talent platforms to communicate and thus more effectively manage the hiring process from within the platform. To this end, interfaces and other components may be provided which facilitate communication between talent platforms and a talent platform exchange. Such communication capability would enable a direct hire marketplace where employers engage recruiters to fill positions through their presently implemented ATSs.

  • Patent number: 11727480
    Abstract: Multivariate graphs specific to a company's performance, alone or in relation to a benchmark, and methods for producing same include defining on a display screen an origin having a first value, extending from the origin at least three axes on the display screen, the axes being generally equidistant from each other and representing a respective variable, plotting on the display screen a value of each variable concerning the company as a point on a respective axis, and using the plotted points to interpolate first segments between the axes on the display screen. Benchmark information, extrinsic to the company, can be obtained, processed into a rating in the same manner as the company data, and superimposed for ready visual comparison of the company's performance to the obtained benchmark. The benchmark information, if shown, is distinguished from the company's performance graph.

  • Patent number: 11625730
    Abstract: In some aspects, a computing system can detect synthetic identities based on attributes associated with online entities. The computing system can generate entity links between primary entity objects and a secondary entity object. The secondary entity object identifies a target consumer as a secondary entity for accounts identified by the primary entity objects. Attributes of the secondary entity object and attributes of the primary entity objects can be calculated and compared to determine an inconsistency between a combination of a name attribute value and an address attribute value of the secondary entity object as compared to the primary entity objects. A fraud warning indicating that the target consumer is likely to be a synthetic identity can be generated based on the inconsistency and other attributes of the target consumer, such as an inquiries attribute, a terminations attribute, a duration attribute, and so on.
