    Abstract: A system and method for online employment recruiting and evaluation is provided. An online, web-based environment allows employers to create job descriptions for posting on an Internet-based job search service in communication with the web-based environment, and allows for online recruitment and review of hiring candidates using a multi-phase approach. An employer can create an initial questionnaire associated with the job descriptions, which must be answered by potential employees as part of the recruitment and hiring process. A virtual dossier is created for each potential employee, is stored in a database, and can be reviewed by the employer. An employer can select desired candidates based upon information provided in response to the initial questionnaire, and selected candidates can be provided with a second questionnaire which asks the selected candidates to provide information about previous employers/supervisors.
