Publication number: 20140180948Abstract: A method of operating an employment system is provided. The method includes generating a score for each of a plurality of possible results compared to information associated with a user, enabling the user to access a result of the plurality of possible results if the score generated for the result meets a threshold condition, enabling the user to adjust the threshold condition and preventing the user from adjusting the threshold condition beyond a minimum threshold condition. The score can be a bi-directional matching score. The minimum threshold condition can include a minimum score. The minimum score can be determined based on the percentage of the plurality of possible results that would be accessible to the user.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 27, 2013Publication date: June 26, 2014Applicant: Career Management Solutions, LLCInventors: Robert J.

Patent number: 7805382Abstract: In one embodiment of the present invention, a match-based employment system and method of operation are provided. The match-based employment system collects a plurality of employer seeker and employee seeker profiles, bi-directionally matches the employer seeker and said employee seeker profiles and displays at least a portion of the results to an employer seeker or an employee seeker. The match-based employment system can also order the bi-directional matching results based on a bi-directional match score and display the bi-directional matching results according to the ordering. The match-based employment system can also perform the matching such that approximately 70% of a matching score depends upon the quality of the match between employee seeker desires and employment seeker attributes and approximately 30% of the matching score depends upon the quality of the match between employment seeker desires and employee seeker attributes.Type: GrantFiled: April 11, 2005Date of Patent: September 28, 2010Assignee: MKT10, Inc.Inventors: Howard Rosen, Robert J.

Publication number: 20070239468Abstract: A computerized system is described for automatically calculating compensation amounts for an employee of a corporation based on a set of compensation rules for the country of employment of the employee. A system administrator establishes sets of compensation rules for a plurality of countries by defining compensation types within each of the countries. The computerized system maintains the sets of compensation rules. Upon receiving a profile change request for the employee from a user, e.g., a manager, the computerized system retrieves the set of compensation rules associated with the country of employment of the employee and calculates compensation amounts for the employee. In this way, compensation amounts for the employee may be automatically calculated regardless of the country of employment of the employee. The compensation amounts may include compensation allocation amounts for each compensation type applied to the employee and a total cash compensation amount.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 17, 2006Publication date: October 11, 2007Inventors: Yolanda O'Brien, Joonhyuk Lee, Pablo Luchsinger Newton, Marjorie Rew, Mikael Wegelius, Leslie Ferry, Mary Passenheim, Vidhya Vasudevan
