Career and employment services system and apparatus

Abstract

Systems, methods, distributed networks, and computer-readable media are provided that relate to recruiting and employment services. Background information associated with talent-capability attributes is received from talent. Job description information is received from employers. Prospective matches are identified between employers and talent, and employers and talent are given an opportunity to consent to exchange of talent contact information.

Having thus described the disclosed subject matter, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is: 
     
         1 . A method of providing an account user access to an employer profile by a computer system, the computer system including at least one computer comprising at least one processor and storage medium within a computer network, the method comprising:
 receiving employer identifying information from an employer by the at least one computer system;   storing the employer identifying information as an employer profile on the at least one storage medium;   receiving at least one account user information regarding at least one employer account user to be associated with the employer profile, the account user information including account user authentication information;   storing the account user information on the at least one storage medium;   receiving from an at least one employer account user, user account authentication information;   processing the authentication information with the employer profile in the computer system by the at least one computer processor; and   providing the at least one account user access to the employer profile.   
     
     
         2 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising communicating the account access information to the at least one employer account user. 
     
     
         3 . The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:
 configuring the employer identifying information in a hierarchical format; and   displaying the employer identifying information to the at least one employer account user in a hierarchical format.
