Apparatus and methods for screening users

Abstract

An apparatus for screening users. The apparatus includes a processor communicatively connected to a user device and a memory communicatively connected to the processor. The memory contains instructions configuring the processor to receive verbal communication associated with a user and parse, using a chatbot, at least a user characteristic from the verbal communication. The processor also screens the user as a function of the user characteristic. Screening the user includes generating a compatibility score based on a compatibility of the at least a user characteristic and a posting and determining a confidence score wherein the confidence score comprises a quantitative value reflecting a confidence in the screening.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for screening users for determining suitable candidates for employment, the apparatus comprising:
 a processor communicatively connected to a user device; and
 a memory communicatively connected to the processor, the memory containing instructions configuring the processor to:
 verify the user device by sending a verification link to the user device, and receiving verification confirmation from the user device; 
 receive, from the user device, a verbal communication and a document associated with a user; 
 parse, using a chatbot, at least one user characteristic comprising a keyword from the verbal communication, wherein the keyword is related to education or employment of the user; 
 detect an image feature of the document using a classifier by comparing the image feature with stored features and choosing a nearest match; 
 generate a request to the user, by the chatbot, based on the keyword and the image feature associated with the user; 
 screen the user as a function of the at least one user characteristic and the image feature, wherein the screening comprises:
 generating a compatibility score based on a compatibility of the at least one user characteristic, the document, and a posting including job criteria; 
 determining a confidence score, wherein the confidence score comprises a quantitative value reflecting a confidence in the screening; and 
 posting the verbal communication, the document, the compatibility score, and the confidence score on an immutable sequential listing. 
 
 
   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chatbot is configured to prompt the user to respond orally to a request, wherein the chatbot is configured to convert a response to text. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 2 , wherein the verbal communication comprises a visual recording of the user. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chatbot, utilizing a machine-learning module, is configured to output a request to the user based on an input of the posting. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chatbot, utilizing a machine-learning module, is configured to output a request to the user based on an input of a user document. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chatbot receives the verbal communication and prompts the user with a request based on the verbal communication. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the confidence score is based on the at least a user characteristic. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the confidence score is based on whether the processor receives a user document. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the chatbot prompts the user with a request, wherein the request is based on the posting. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the confidence score is based on an amount of requirements for criteria of the posting. 
     
     
         11 . A method for screening users, the method comprising:
 verifying, at a processor, a user device by sending a verification link to the user device, and receiving verification confirmation from the user device;   receiving, by the processor and from the user device, a verbal communication and a document associated with a user;   parsing, by the processor and using a chatbot, at least one user characteristic comprising a keyword from the verbal communication, wherein the keyword is related to education or employment of the user;   detecting, by the processor, an image feature of the document using a classifier by comparing the image feature with stored features and choosing a nearest match;   generating, by the processor, a request to the user, by the chatbot, based on the keyword and the image feature associated with the user;   screening, by the processor, the user as a function of the at least one user characteristic and the image feature, wherein the screening comprises:
 generating a compatibility score based on a compatibility of the at least one user characteristic, the document, and a posting including job criteria; 
 determining a confidence score, wherein the confidence score comprises a quantitative value reflecting a confidence in the screening; and 
 posting the verbal communication, the document, the compatibility score, and the confidence score on an immutable sequential listing. 
   
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the chatbot is configured to prompt the user to respond orally to a request, wherein the chatbot is configured to convert a response to text. 
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein the verbal communication comprises a visual recording of the user. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the chatbot, utilizing a machine-learning module, is configured to output a request to the user based on an input of the posting. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the chatbot, utilizing a machine-learning module, is configured to output a request to the user based on an input of a user document. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the chatbot receives the verbal communication and prompts the user with a request based on the verbal communication. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the confidence score is based on the at least a user characteristic. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the confidence score is based on whether the processor receives a user document. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the chatbot prompts the user with a request, wherein the request is based on the posting. 
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 11 , wherein the confidence score is based on an amount of requirements for criteria of the posting.
