摘要

The present invention relates to a method for providing a virtual job market on a network comprising an application server and clients and/or electronic message systems allowing to input and output information, wherein the method comprises the following steps: providing primary dimensions information on industries, career levels and functional areas; providing secondary dimensions information on salary ranges and/or geo-data and/or educational information and/or languages and/or special expertises, entering the primary and secondary dimensions information in a three dimensional data base on the application server; collecting information chunks of open jobs and candidate profiles, and placing the information chunks in a distinct cell or number of cells in the three dimensional database. Further, the present invention relates to a system for providing a virtual job market on a network comprising an application server and clients and/or electronic message systems including at least a first database comprising candidate profiles, a second database comprising salary information and a third database comprising job information, wherein the information available in the three databases is matched in a three dimensional database model.

1. A method for providing a virtual job marketplace including the factors demand for labour, supply of labour and a pricing mechanism on a network comprising an application server and clients or electronic message systems allowing to input and output information, using a career goal input by a user, a personal history input by said user, or both, wherein the method comprises the following steps:
a) Providing primary dimensions information of the job marketplace based on segmented industries, career levels and functional areas, wherein
i. each segmented industry is segmented into at least three levels that identify different market subsegments,ii. said career levels are established by segmenting careers within a target market for job positions into a ranked series of levels to establish a hierarchy of career levels in said market, andiii. said functional areas are established by segmenting job functions within firms in said industry into multiple defined functional areas; b) Providing secondary dimensions information that comprises one or more factors selected from the group of salary ranges, geo-data, educational information, languages, and special expertises, c) Entering the primary and secondary dimensions information in a three dimensional data base on the application server; d) Placing information chunks in a distinct cell or number of cells in the three dimensional database, e) applying said secondary dimension information to said information chunks in said cells of said matrix to score competing information chunks in at least the same career level and functional area, f) performing a matching process for said user comprising scoring each job position by comparing criteria comprising said segmented industry levels, position levels, functional areas, and secondary dimension data to one or more items of personal information input by said user using a weighting process based on a perceived importance and relevance of said criteria to obtain a score.
