  • Publication number: 20200234244
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for providing profiles with limited permission level functionality in the network. In response to receiving a request to post the new employment listing, a collaboration system updates a permission list of the employment listing to provide a first user account with an administrator permission level in relation to the employment listing. The administrator permission level provides a first function and a second function in relation to the employment listing. The collaboration system receives a request to tag a second user account to the employment listing and updates the permission list to provide the second user account with a limited permission level in relation to the employment listing. The limited permission level provides the second user account with permission to perform the first function in relation to the employment listing but does not provide permission to perform the second function.

  • Publication number: 20200202303
    Abstract: Disclosed are systems, methods, and non-transitory computer-readable media for identifying profiles in a network based on relevance scores. A relevancy system identifies a set of candidate user profiles based on user profiles that correspond to users that are members of a first organization. For each candidate user profile, the relevancy system determines scores indicating a relevance level of the respective candidate user profile to an employment listing based on multiple relevance categories. The relevancy system applies weights to the scores and determined a relevance score for the candidate user profile based on the weighted relevancy scores. The weighs are determined based on historical hiring data and indicate a relative impact of each relevance category on hiring. The relevancy system selects a subset of the candidate user profiles based on the relevance scores and transmits notifications regarding the employment listing to the subset of the candidate user profiles.
