A system for generating and maintaining a private talent network (PTN) is described. The system allows a company to create and maintain a branded private talent network including a live talent pool of active job seekers and potential job applicants for company positions. The system includes tools for establishing, managing and developing relations with the talent pool within a private talent network as a whole or within sub-networks (circles), such as a capability to schedule and host events of interest to candidates and a capability to communicate with candidates via such methods as video, text messaging, announcements, discussions and email. In addition, the system provides tools for segmenting the recruiting process into multiple phases where each of the interactions with each candidate during each phase is tracked and information associated with the interactions is stored. |

1. A method in a cloud computing system for more minimizing web page switching comprising:
instantiating a first instance of a private talent network (PTN) in a cloud infrastructure including servers, databases, load balancers, optimizers and network interfaces, the PTN distributed within the cloud infrastructure wherein the PTN is associated with job recruiting at a single company; embedding in a plurality of hyper text mark-up language (HTML) formatted web pages, separate from the PTN, a join widget formatted in HTML wherein the join widget includes a hyper text transfer protocol link to the first instance of the PTN; receiving from the join widget, via the network interface and from a first web page, a request to join the PTN, the first web page in a first initial state; while remaining on the first web page and without navigating away from the first web page, generating in HTML a first interface including an input area configured to receive an input of credentials associated with a social media site and a selectable button, which, when activated, returns a signal to the first instance of the PTN, which is interpreted as a request to join the PTN; receiving the signal and the input of credentials; using input of credentials, contacting, via the network interface, an application program interface associated with the social media site to verify the received credentials; when the credentials are verified, while remaining on the first web page without navigating away from the first web page, generating in HTML on the first webpage a second interface including one or more selectable buttons which when selected send signals to the PTN which indicate what type of information to retrieve and under what conditions to import information from the social media site wherein at least one type of information is job related information and at least one condition is how often the PTN is to contact the social media site to update a member profile in the PTN created from information retrieved from the social media site; receiving from the second interface, the signals including what type of information to retrieve and the conditions under which to retrieve the indicated type of the information; contacting via the network interface the social media site and retrieving via the application programming interface associated with the social media site a first set of information from the social media site using the received credentials; parsing the first set of information to identify job related information and information which is private and not job related to create a second set of job related information; generating and storing to a first database in the PTN instantiated in the cloud infrastructure, a first member profile including the credentials, the second set of job related information, the type of information to retrieve and under what conditions to retrieve the indicated type of information; closing the second interface; sending commands to the first web page which return it to its initial state; generating a first set of interfaces which allows a first set of members including a first member associated with the first member profile to receive job related information including available jobs; and generating a second set of interfaces which allow a second set of members including job recruiters to interact with the first set of members including scheduling video meetings which allow the job recruiters to interview the first set of members for the available jobs. |
