Abstract: A method is disclosed for supplementing information that is to be presented to a user of a social-networking system with respect to a job posting. A request for a job posting stored in a database of a job hosting service is received from a client-computing device. The job posting is for a job opening of an employer and the request is associated with a first member of a social networking service. A snippet of a member profile of a second member of the social networking service is selected for presentation with the job posting. The snippet is extracted from the member profile based on an identification of a correspondence between information specified in the member profile and information specified in the job posting. Responsive to the request, the snippet is communicated to the client-computing device for presentation to the first member in conjunction with the job description.

Abstract: A system and method for using large data sets to improve candidate analysis in social networking applications is disclosed. A social networking system stores member data for a plurality of members of a social networking system in a database. The social networking system receives a potential applicant information request from a computer system associated with a first education institution. In response to receiving a potential applicant information request from a computer system associated with the first education institution, the social networking system generates potential applicant data based, at least in part, on the stored member data in the database associated with the social networking system and transmits the generated potential applicant data to the computer system associated with the first education institution. The social networking system receives, associated with the first education institution, an applicant offer message intended for display to at least one member of the social networking system.

Abstract: A system and method for generating an admittance prediction based on historical admittance data that predicts whether a particular member of a social networking system will be admitted to a particular education institution is disclosed. A social networking system stores admittance data for a plurality of education institutions. The social networking system receives a request for a prediction concerning whether a first member of a social networking service will be admitted to a first education institution in the plurality of education institutions. The social networking system compares qualification data associated with the first member to admittance data stored in memory of the social networking server. The social networking system generates an admittance prediction based on the comparison of the qualification data associated with the first member with historic admittance data. The social networking system transmits the admittance prediction to the client system for display.

Abstract: A method and system for conducting applicant analytics for a multiuser social networking system is disclosed. A social networking system stores member qualification data for a plurality of members of a social networking system. The social networking system receives an education institution interest indication. The social networking system receives an analytics data request from the client system, wherein the analytics request indicates a first education institution. The social networking system determines a list of other members of the social networking system that have indicated interest in the first education institution. The social networking system generates comparison data for the first member and the determined list of other members, wherein comparison data compares member qualification data of the first member and the determined list of other members. The social networking system transmits the generated comparison data to the client system.

Abstract: A system maintains one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings on a social networking service. The system identifies a business organization using the one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings. The system identifies a job title or a job function at the business organization using the one or more of member profiles, company profiles, and job postings. The system also identifies a number of employees in the job title or job function at the business organization using one or more of the member profiles and the company profiles. The system determines a number of years that each employee has been employed in the job title or job function for the business organization using at least the member profiles, and calculates an average time period that a typical employee has been in the job title or job function for the business organization.
