Automated interfaces with interactive keywords between employment postings and candidate profiles

Abstract

Automated interfaces with interactive keywords between employment postings and candidate profiles are disclosed. An example system includes a profile database and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to identify one or more posting keywords by parsing extracted text of an employment posting, retrieve one or more posting search-terms from a search-term database based on the one or more posting keywords, and generate a list of candidates based on one or more candidate profiles retrieved from the profile database. Further, the one or more processors are configured to present, to the recruiter, an interface that includes a posting section and a candidate section adjacent to the posting section. Further, the one or more processors are configured to typographically emphasize the posting keywords that are associated with the posting search-terms to indicate relationships between the employment posting and the list of candidates.

         21 . A user interface system for interactive computer-based searching, the system comprising:
 a first database configured to store searchable texts that include searchable keywords;   a second database configured to store search-terms and reference keywords associated with the search-terms; and   one or more processors used to operate a user interface, wherein, in real-time while a user is interacting with the user interface, the one or more processors are configured to:
 identify one or more of the reference keywords in a reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the search-terms from the second database based on the one or more of the reference keywords in the reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the searchable texts from the first database based on the one or more search-terms associated with the reference text; 
 generate a list of searchable texts retrieved from the first database; 
 simultaneously present a first section on a first side of the user interface and a second section on a second side of the user interface, wherein the first section includes the reference text and the second section includes the list of searchable texts; and 
 typographically emphasize, in real-time, the one or more of the reference keywords of the reference text in the first section; 
   wherein, when the user selects, via an input device, a selected searchable text from the list of searchable texts in the second section, the one or more processors are further configured to visually indicate, in real-time, any of the reference keywords in the first section that correspond with the searchable keywords of the selected searchable text.   
     
     
         22 . A user interface system for interactive computer-based searching, the system comprising:
 a first database configured to store searchable texts that include searchable keywords;   a second database configured to store search-terms and reference keywords associated with the search-terms; and   one or more processors used to operate a user interface, wherein, in real-time while a user is interacting with the user interface, the one or more processors are configured to:
 identify one or more of the reference keywords in a reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the search-terms from the second database based on the one or more of the reference keywords in the reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the searchable texts from the first database based on the one or more search-terms associated with the reference text; 
 generate a list of searchable texts retrieved from the first database; 
 simultaneously present a first section on a first side of the user interface and a second section on a second side of the user interface, wherein the first section includes the reference text and the second section includes the list of searchable texts; and 
 typographically emphasize, in real-time, the one or more of the reference keywords of the reference text in the first section; 
   wherein, when the user selects, via an input device, a selected keyword from the reference keywords in the first section, the one or more processors are further configured to visually indicate, in the second section and in real-time, at least one of the searchable texts in the list of searchable texts that includes the selected keyword.   
     
     
         23 . A user interface system for interactive computer-based searching, the system comprising:
 a first database configured to store searchable texts that include searchable keywords;   a second database configured to store search-terms and reference keywords associated with the search-terms; and   one or more processors used to operate a user interface, wherein, in real-time while a user is interacting with the user interface, the one or more processors are configured to:
 identify one or more of the reference keywords in a reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the search-terms from the second database based on the one or more of the reference keywords in the reference text; 
 retrieve one or more of the searchable texts from the first database based on the one or more search-terms associated with the reference text; 
 generate a list of searchable texts retrieved from the first database; 
 simultaneously present a first section on a first side of the user interface and a second section on a second side of the user interface, wherein the first section includes the reference text and the second section includes the list of searchable texts; 
 typographically emphasize, in real-time, the one or more of the reference keywords of the reference text in the first section; 
 identify when the user has performed a freeform selection of a portion of the reference text displayed in the first section; 
 automatically convert the portion associated with the freeform selection into another reference keyword; 
 retrieve one or more additional search-terms from the second database based on the other reference keyword; and 
 dynamically adjust the list of searchable texts presented in the second section of the user interface based on the one or more additional search-terms.
