Patent number: 10380205Abstract: Techniques for presenting a personalized member profile page to a viewer are described. The online social network service system can access a sender score of a sender requesting to view a profile page in an online social network service, and access a receiver score of a receiver associated with the profile page. Additionally, a suggested action can be determined based on the sender score and the receiver score, a sender confirmation to perform the suggested action can be received, and a communication associated with the suggested action can be transmitted in response to the received sender confirmation. Subsequently, the online social network service system can classify an interaction between the sender and the receiver, and update the receiver score and the sender score based on the classified interaction.Type: GrantFiled: September 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 13, 2019Assignee: Microsoft Technology Licensing, LLCInventors: Drew Scott Baird Moxon, Nipun Dave, Nikita Igorevych Lytkin, Sachit Kamat

Publication number: 20180336529Abstract: Techniques for standardizing and deduplicating unpaid job postings obtained from third-party systems are described. An unpaid job posting is obtained by a social networking service from a third-party system. The title and description of the unpaid job posting are standardized and combined into a standardized unpaid job posting. A deduplication process is performed to prevent the standardized unpaid job posting from replacing a paid job posting within the social networking service, and to prevent the standardized unpaid job posting from replacing a more authoritative, unpaid job posting within the social networking service.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 30, 2018Publication date: November 22, 2018Inventors: Jana Vembunarayan, Sachit Kamat, Prashanth Govindarajan, Anthony Duane Duerr, Oeystein Thorsen

Patent number: 9817905Abstract: Techniques for presenting a personalized member profile page to a viewer are described. A highlight module can receive a request to view a profile page of a member in a social network. The highlight module can access viewer data of a viewer associated with the request, and access member data of the member. Additionally, the highlight module can determine a plurality of member attributes relevant to the viewer based on the viewer data, the plurality of member attributes being derived from the member data. Furthermore, the highlight module can calculate an overall score for a member attribute in the plurality of member attributes based on the viewer data and the member data. Subsequently, a profile generation module can cause a presentation, on a display of a device, of the member attribute on the profile page, when the overall score of the member attribute is higher than a predetermined threshold value.Type: GrantFiled: March 31, 2015Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Assignee: LinkedIn CorporationInventors: Nipun Dave, Sachit Kamat, Nikita Igorevych Lytkin, Vibha Rathi, Jibran Kutik, Mathieu Bastian, Matthieu F.

Publication number: 20170031551Abstract: A system, a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions, and a computer-implemented method are directed to a Peer Driven Editing Engine (hereinafter “PDE Engine”) that updates a profile of a target member account in a professional social network service (hereinafter “social network”) based on information provided from other member accounts. The PDE Engine identifies a particular type of profile attribute of a member account in a social network. The PDE Engine determines a target member account qualifies for an update with the particular type of profile attribute. The PDE Engine generates a prompt based on the particular type of profile attribute. The PDE Engine generates profile update content based on the target member account's response to the prompt. The PDE Engine includes the particular type of profile attribute in the target member account according to the profile update content.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 7, 2015Publication date: February 2, 2017Inventors: Lokesh P.

Publication number: 20160092841Abstract: A mobile computing device displays details of a job that is posted on a social networking service as an unpaid job posting together with an option for upgrading the unpaid job posting to a paid job posting with associated advantages in comparison to the unpaid job posting. The mobile computing device displays a fee for the upgrade and at least one of the associated advantages of the paid job posting. The mobile computing device displays a user interface option for requesting that other associated advantages of the paid job posting be presented. The mobile computing device displays a specified number of other associated advantages of the paid job posting if a user selects this option. If a user elects to upgrade an unpaid job posting to a paid job posting, the mobile computing device will present the user with an interface for payment of the fee for the upgrade.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: March 31, 2016Inventor: Sachit Kamat

Publication number: 20160063441Abstract: Techniques for determining that a member viewing a job posting has hiring authority are described. A determination module can identify a member viewing a job posting and access member data for the identified member. Additionally, the determination module can determine an entity associated with the job posting based on the accessed member data, and access job listing data for the determined entity. Moreover, the determination module can determine a score value based on the accessed member data and the accessed job listing data. The score value corresponds to a likelihood that the identified member has hiring authority for the job posting. Furthermore, an upsell module can upsell the job listing to the identified member based on the score value being higher than a predetermined threshold.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 31, 2014Publication date: March 3, 2016Inventors: Sachit Kamat, Monica Marie Lewis, Vibhu Prakash Saxena

Publication number: 20160034854Abstract: A system receives, via a user input, job profiles for job postings to a social network. The system then determines whether each job profile is for a paid job posting to the social network or for an unpaid job posting to the social network. Unpaid job postings are presented to users of the social network only via a job search user interface; paid job postings are presented to users of the social network via the job search user interface and via other channels of the social network, such as e-mail. The presentation via other channels is based a comparison of user profiles to job profiles. The system also extracts job profiles for job postings to the social network, from at least one external website, and presents these job postings to users of the social network only via the job search user interface.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 30, 2014Publication date: February 4, 2016Applicant: Linkedln CorporationInventor: Sachit Kamat

Publication number: 20140143163Abstract: A system may include a network interface, a user interface, and a recommendation engine. The user interface may be configured to receive a job characteristic of a job profile of a job posted to the social network and a job bid from an entity related to job to the social network. The recommendation engine may be configured to determine an aggregate job score for the user based on a relevance of the job characteristic to a user characteristic and the job bid. The network interface may be configured to transmit a message related to the job to the user based, at least in part, on the aggregate job score.Type: ApplicationFiled: November 16, 2012Publication date: May 22, 2014Inventors: Sachit Kamat, Christian Posse, Anmol Bhasin, Chun Yu Wong, Parker R.
