Abstract: A method and apparatus for automating the process of assessing a candidate and confidentially determining whether the candidate is suited for a particular job opening is disclosed. A designated user creates a position to be filled and establishes the requirements and qualifications for that position. As the candidate applies to a particular position, a computer system collects application data from the candidate in a variety of formats and outputs the application data in a uniform manner to allow comparison of multiple candidates applying for the same job opening. The designated user also shares the collected application data with a plurality of secondary users. The secondary users browse the application data, rate the candidates and provide feedback to the designated user. The designated user is able to determine which candidate to extend employment to, after having viewed the application data, as well as the feedback and ratings provided from the secondary users.

A designated user creates a position to be filled and establishes the requirements and qualifications for that position. As the candidate applies to a particular position, a computer system collects application data from the candidate in a variety of formats and outputs the application data in a uniform manner to avow comparison of multiple candidates applying for the same job opening. The designated user also shares the collected application data with a plurality of secondary users. The secondary users browse the application data, rate the candidates and provide feedback to the designated user. The designated user is able to determine which candidate to extend employment to, after having viewed the application data, feedback, and ratings provided from the secondary users.
