  • Data capture system and method
    Publication number: 20030117444
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method selects a candidate from a pool of candidates to fill a position based on the skills held by the candidate, the skills desired for the position and the priority of the skills for the position. Pre-defined lists of skills are used to develop detailed profiles of the candidates and the positions to be filled for better matching. To compare and rank candidates, adjusted skills scores are used which are limited by the priority of the skill for the position, yielding best-fit matches.

  • Apparatus, system and method for selecting an item from pool
    Publication number: 20020091669
    Abstract: An apparatus, system and method selects a candidate from a pool of candidates to fill a use for a candidate. The system and method can be applied to identify a product optimally suited for a particular use or to select a person to fill a position based on the skills held by the candidate, the skills desired for the position and the priority of the skills for the position. A scoring method determines a temporary use-specific adjusted score that is calculated based on user-selected functions which reflect real life effects on desireability of a candidate due to over- and under-target scores on given characteristics or parameters.
