Abstract: A plurality of job candidates have corresponding candidate profiles. Each candidate may be associated with a corresponding candidate entity. For example, the job candidates may be students or recent graduates of universities, in which case the candidate profile of each candidate is associated with that candidate's university. Each university may block one or more criteria in its candidates' profiles from being searched. A computer-implemented system matches the candidate profiles with job profiles provided by employers. The matching process takes into account the criteria blocked by the candidate entities (e.g., universities). As a result, when the matching process matches a particular job profile against a particular candidate profile, the matching process does not match criteria in the particular job profile which are blocked by the profile of the candidate entity associated with the particular candidate profile.
