Abstract

A method and system for facilitating the hiring and recruitment of candidates for a particular position. The system would include information relating to the skill level and expertise of various candidates irrespective of a particular job. The candidates will have their various skills assessed through the use of an anonymous assessor. The assessor would provide the system with a rating of each candidate's various assessed skills. The candidate has the option to have this assessment evaluated by a disinterested third party. A client or employer would access the system for the purpose of receiving a listing of potential candidates, their skill levels as well as assessments. The client will provide the system with a list of potential candidates to the position. The clients would utilize this information to hire a particular candidate.
