Description

[Technical field]

[0001] The present invention relates to an information processing technology that supports personnel exchanges between organizations in a group organization made up of multiple organizations that are capitally or business related, in particular, transfers (assignments) on a job-by-job basis. [Background technology]

[0002] With the spread of the Internet, technologies have been proposed to quickly and appropriately match job seekers (job seekers) with organizations (employers) searching for the desired personnel. For example, the matching device disclosed in Patent Document 1 converts the employer and the job seeker into feature vectors using predetermined parameters, etc., and realizes efficient and automated matching between the employer and the job seeker based on the similarity between the feature vectors. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0003] [Patent Document 1] Patent No. 6369053 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0004] The existing transfer support technology, as typified by the matching device disclosed in Patent Document 1, has a problem in that it does not take into account the circumstances of the organization to which the job seeker currently belongs. The loss of talented personnel is an urgent management issue for many organizations.

[0005] In addition, when a company that is acquired through M&A (Mergers and Acquisitions) is incorporated into a group of companies, statistics show that many employees of the acquired company consider quitting their jobs, and end up quitting within three years at the latest. One of the reasons for this is thought to be that employees of the acquired company lack information about new career development opportunities within the post-acquisition organization.

[0006] One of the objects of the present invention is to provide a mechanism for supporting transfers that can solve the above problems and is beneficial for both an individual who wishes to develop a new career in a group organization and the group organization including the organization to which the individual belongs. Other objects of the present invention will become apparent from the present disclosure. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] One aspect of the present invention is a method for publishing transfer application data submitted by a person seeking transfer and information on job positions being recruited by any of a group of organizations that are capitally or business-related, on an information site accessible to members of the group of organizations; A transfer support system between group organizations, comprising a monitoring and control means for monitoring and controlling communication between a first terminal operated by an applicant interested in the job position and a second terminal operated by a person in charge of the organization that has recruited for the job position, and / or communication between a third terminal operated by a person in charge of the organization that is interested in the transfer application data and a fourth terminal operated by the transfer applicant.

[0008] Another aspect of the present invention is a computer program for causing a computer having a communication function to operate as the above-described transfer support system. Effect of the Invention

[0009] According to this aspect, it is possible to provide transfer support that is beneficial to both the person who wishes to start a new career and the group organization with which the organization to which the person belongs has capital or business ties. [Brief description of the drawings]

[0011] Below, we will explain an example of an embodiment in which the present invention is applied to a transfer support system that supports the transfer of employees between group companies. A group company is assumed to be a collection of organizations that are related capitally or business-wise, and in this example, a collection of multiple subsidiaries in the same or different industries that operate under a single parent company. In the following explanation, when it is necessary to distinguish between the individual companies that make up the group company, these companies will be referred to as "Company A",..."Company X". In addition, from Company A's perspective, Company A is referred to as "our company," Companies B...X are referred to as "other group companies," Companies A through X as a whole are referred to as "all group companies," and people belonging to each company that makes up the group are referred to as the "employees" of that company.

[0012] [Overall configuration] FIG. 1 is an overall configuration diagram of a transfer support system between group companies according to this embodiment. For convenience, this transfer support system is abbreviated as "this system." In one aspect, this system 1 operates as a Web (World Wide Web) site connected to the Internet NW, which is an example of a computer network. That is, this system 1 can be configured to include each of the servers (computers): a Web (World Wide Web) server 10, an AP (Application) server 11, and a DB (Database) server 12. These servers 10, 11, and 12 will be described in detail later.

[0013] A company information DB (DB group) 13 storing the unique information of each group company that each group company has allowed to disclose to all group companies of its own volition, and a recruitment activity information DB 14 storing information on employee recruitment activities among group companies are connected to the DB server 12 via a security product 15. The security product 15 is a product that provides functions such as monitoring, controlling, and vulnerability management of external access to the system 1. The security product 15 may be provided between the Web server 10 and the AP server 11, between the AP server 11 and the DB server 12, or between the Web server 10 and the Internet NW, instead of as shown in the figure. Note that access refers to a mode of approaching information, data, etc. through an electronic device and attempting to view or obtain them.

[0014] The information terminals operated by employees of the group companies, Company A to Company X, can be connected to the Internet NW at any time. The information terminals are personal computers (PCs), tablet terminals, smartphones, etc., that have a display as a display device and a keyboard or touch panel as an input device, and can exchange information with the transfer support system 1 via a Web browser.

[0015] In this example, for convenience, the information terminals operated by employees who have the authority to disclose their own company's unique information and hire employees in companies A, B, ..., X are referred to as company A's employee terminal 20A, company B's employee terminal 20B, and company X's employee terminal 20X, respectively. In addition, the information terminals operated by employees (1), (2), ..., (n) among the employees belonging to company A are referred to as company A's employee (1) terminal 30A1, company A's employee (2) terminal 30A2, ..., company A's employee (n) terminal 30An, respectively. The information terminals operated by employees (1), (2), ..., (n) belonging to other companies B ..., company X are also referred to in the same way. In other words, these information terminals are referred to as terminal 30B1, terminal 30B2, terminal 30Bn, terminal 30X1, terminal 30X2, terminal 30Xn, etc. In addition, an information terminal operated by an employee applicant applying for a job position is referred to as an applicant terminal, an information terminal operated by a person in charge of the company that has recruited for the job position is referred to as a recruiting company terminal, an information terminal operated by a person in charge of a company that is interested in the transfer application data is referred to as an interested company terminal, an information terminal operated by a person seeking transfer is referred to as a transfer applicant terminal, and an information terminal operated by a recruiter or a manager of the transfer applicant's current affiliation is referred to as a manager terminal, and when there is no need to distinguish between these information terminals, they are simply referred to as information terminals.

[0016] The transfer support system 1 of this embodiment electronically provides a place for transfer support between group companies to group companies and employees belonging to each company. Here, as an example of transfer support, a first mode in which a company mediates employee recruitment from other group companies and a second mode in which a company mediates a transfer request to any other group company for an employee belonging to a certain company will be described, but the present disclosure is not intended to be limited to these two modes.

[0017] The transfer in the first mode is triggered, for example, when a company wants to quickly secure human resources from other group companies for a job position required for the implementation of a new project, organizational expansion, change of business model, etc. FIG. 2(a) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the first mode. In FIG. 2(a), the information terminal operated by a person who has the authority to disclose the company's specific information in order to recruit human resources is the recruiting company terminal 21, and the information terminal operated by an employee of any company who applies for this recruitment, i.e., an applicant, is the applicant terminal 31. Also, the information terminal operated by the applicant's manager (superior) is the manager terminal 33.

[0018] The second mode of transfer is triggered, for example, by an employee who wishes to be transferred to another group company, i.e., a transfer applicant, wanting to challenge his / her career advancement by posting the transfer application data to all group companies other than his / her own company through the system 1. FIG. 2(b) is a schematic diagram showing an example of the second mode. In FIG. 2(b), an information terminal operated by an employee with employee hiring authority of a company interested in the transfer application data is an interested company terminal 22, an information terminal operated by an employee operated by the transfer applicant is a transfer applicant terminal 32, and an information terminal operated by the transfer applicant's manager (superior) is a manager terminal 33.

[0019] [Various DBs] Information processed regarding transfer support is stored in a company information DB13 and a recruitment activity information DB14 provided for each company, and is read and processed as appropriate. The company information stored in the company information DB13 is unique information that can be viewed by employees of the company and other group companies, and includes company-specific information that can only be viewed by employees of the company, and other company-specific information that can be viewed by employees of other group companies. The latter is associated with available position information. The company information DB 13 can also be made accessible to a part of the company's own DB provided in each company through API (Application Programming Interface) linkage.

[0020] The recruiting activity information DB 14 stores various information related to recruiting activities between group companies and applicants or transfer applicants. Fig. 3 is an example diagram of information stored in the recruiting activity information DB 14. The information stored in the recruiting activity information DB 14 includes, for example, transfer applicant information 141, approach block information 142, available position information 143, applicant information 144, status information 145, and template information 146.

[0021] Transfer applicant information 141 is personal information for each transfer applicant, including an employee ID (identification information), and is stored when the transfer application data is input. The employee ID is associated with the employee's name or nickname (if the employee wishes to remain anonymous, the word "anonymous") and a means of contact with the employee (email, phone number, etc.).

[0022] The approach block information 142 is tag information that specifies whether to block approaches from human resources personnel of other group companies to applicants who are interested in the recruitment of a job position or to those seeking transfer. The approach block information 142 is registered by the employee's superior or the human resources personnel of the company to which the employee currently belongs, taking into consideration the importance of the employee's current job. For employees for whom this approach block information 142 is registered, direct approaches to transfer applicants from other group companies are restricted unless the tag information is released.

[0023] Vacant position information 143 is company information that includes information on the job position being recruited for and the recruiter ID of the recruiting company. A "job position" is an internal rank of a job (content of work (tasks) to be performed responsibly, scope of responsibility, authority granted), and its summary information is expressed as a job title that can be commonly recognized among group companies. Details of a job position are indicated by a "job description" and "evaluation criteria" that serve as an indicator of whether the job has been completed. The job description and evaluation criteria are information that can serve as an indicator of a career path within the company. The recruiter ID is associated with the contact method of the recruiting company terminal 21 (email, phone number, etc.).

[0024] Applicant information 144 is information on applicants for available position information, i.e., personal information for each applicant including applicant ID. The applicant ID becomes an employee ID. Status information 145 is information for each case that shows the progress of recruitment activities between applicants and recruiting companies, and between transfer applicants and interested companies, and is updated appropriately based on communication from the information terminals of the parties involved. Template information 146 is the layout of status screens to be displayed on each information terminal, such as a registration application screen for available position information, a registration application screen for transfer application data, an application application screen, a contact application screen, etc., and operation images to be superimposed on each screen, and is read out, edited, and used as appropriate.

[0025] [Server configuration] Next, an example of the configuration of the various servers 10, 11, and 12 will be described. The Web server 10 has a Web server program installed, and in response to access from an information terminal (Web browser), performs access authentication of the information terminal, and posts information about transfer support to information terminals that have successfully passed access authentication. This information can be posted as a Web page on which the information is posted.

[0026] The AP server 11 is a server that controls the entire system, and has an AP server program installed. The AP server 11 is an application server that instructs the display of Web pages on information terminals and the input of information from the information terminals through the Web server 10, and also causes the DB server 12 to manage (=register, search, update, delete) information on group companies and employees. In this embodiment, the Web server 10 and the DB server 12 work together in accordance with instructions mainly from the AP server 11.

[0027] The DB server 12 is a server on which an RDB (Relational Database) is constructed, which organizes and stores information entered by group companies and employees of each company through information terminals. A DB server program is installed in the DB server 12, and according to instructions from the AP server 11, it registers, updates, references, deletes, etc., the constructed company information DB 13 and recruitment activity information DB 14.

[0028] 4 is a diagram showing an example of a functional block configuration in the present system 1. In this example, examples of functional blocks are shown, which are constructed by the AP server 11 reading and executing an AP program, including a registration unit 111, an information publishing unit 112, an authentication unit 113, a monitoring control unit 114, and a main control unit 115.

[0029] The registration unit 111 registers information about users of the system 1. The information to be registered is the unique information of each group company and information about employees of each group company. One piece of the unique information of a group company is information about job positions being recruited for other group companies, and may also include information for the company itself. If the unique information includes information for the company, access rights to that information are issued only to employees of the company.

[0030] The employee information may be general information such as account information for the system 1, for example, the employee name, the company, access rights, and work history. Detailed information can be additionally entered when applying for a job or a transfer. Each employee is assigned an employee ID (ID is an abbreviation for identification, the same applies below), and the access rights information is linked to the employee ID. The employee ID is a unique ID that includes a company number and an employee number. The employee name may be a real name, or may be anonymous or a nickname. If anonymous, the employee name can be expressed as "anonymous" when it is displayed, etc. The employee information includes the above account information as well as application information required for application, transfer application data, approach block information, etc.

[0031] Job position information, application information, and transfer application data are each registered in a storage area with unique access rights set in the recruitment activity information DB 14. Information other than job position information, application information, and transfer application data is registered in the company information DB 13 of the company to which the person using this system 1 belongs.

[0032] The information posting unit 112 forms an information site accessible to employees of each group company in a specified logical area of ​​the Web server 10, and posts on the information site transfer application data submitted by those seeking transfer, job positions being recruited by any of the group companies, status information showing the progress of selection, etc. Information for which access authority has been set can only be viewed on an information terminal to which that access authority has been input.

[0033] The authentication unit 113 authenticates the access rights of information terminals (including transfer applicant terminals, interested company terminals, applicant terminals, recruiting company terminals, and administrator terminals) operated by employees of each group company. Authentication is performed by comparing the input of login information (including passwords) and access rights determined at the time of registration with the registered information. Access from information terminals other than those that have been authenticated is restricted. The authentication unit 113 accumulates communication logs, including address information of the accessed information terminal and authentication results, in storage (not shown), allowing the usage status of this system 1 to be analyzed or analysed later.

[0034] The monitoring and control unit 114 performs processes corresponding to input data from each authenticated information terminal, such as issuing instructions to the DB server 12 to register, modify, or delete information in the company information DB 13 or the recruitment activity information DB 14, searching for information registered in the company information DB 13 or the recruitment activity information DB 14 (open positions / transfer applicants / applicants / interested companies / relevant employees / relevant managers, etc.), communicating with each information terminal (recruiting company terminal / applicant terminal / transfer applicant terminal / manager terminal / interested company terminal), analyzing (including analysis) data input through each information terminal, monitoring recruitment activities including interviews between the company and employee sides and managing status information (recording, updating, deleting), etc. To search for information registered in the company information DB13 and the recruitment activity information DB14, a search engine equipped with artificial intelligence can be used that identifies information matching available positions and transfer application data based on data learned from terms used throughout the group companies and examples of past recruitment activity results.

[0035] The monitoring control unit 114 also restricts communication between the applicant terminal and the recruiting company terminal or between the transfer applicant terminal and the interested company terminal until the instruction is lifted upon input of an instruction from an administrator terminal operated by the administrator of the applicant or transfer applicant. In other words, the registration and deletion of the above-mentioned approach block information is permitted for the manager terminal, and information regarding the communication means of the transfer applicant for the interested company terminal is masked unless the approach block information is deleted. Instead of masking, contact information for the interested company terminal may be edited in the manager terminal.

[0036] The monitoring control unit 114 further enables the recruiting company terminal, the applicant terminal, or the transfer applicant terminal and the interested company terminal to view a status screen that visualizes the progress of recruiting activities, and accepts requests from the applicant terminal, recruiting company terminal, transfer applicant terminal, or interested company terminal to enter, modify, and delete data on the status screen.

[0037] The main control unit 115 controls the overall operation of the AP server 11 together with the Web server 10 and the DB server 12. That is, it controls the functional blocks of the registration unit 111, the information posting unit 112, the authentication unit 113, the monitoring control unit 114, and the main control unit 115 in an integrated manner.

[0038] [Example of operation mode] Next, an example of the operation of the present system 1 configured as above will be described. For the sake of convenience, an example of the operation of the present system 1 based on the screen transitions of a web browser displayed on an information terminal operated by an employee of each group company will be given here. It is assumed that all of the information terminals of employees accessing the present system 1 have been successfully authenticated via the login screen of the web browser.

[0039] <Transfer Menu> 5 shows an example of a transfer menu screen (MENU) of a web browser 500 displayed on an information terminal of an employee who has accessed this system 1. The transfer menu screen is a lower-level screen transitioned to from the main menu screen. Although not shown in the figure, the main menu screen provides transition links to various menu screens, such as a menu screen for viewing various company-related information from the company to which the employee belongs, and a menu screen for changing the employee's own registered information. In the example of FIG. 5, a vacant position search button image 501, a transfer application button image 502, a decision button image 503, and a back button image 504 are displayed on the transfer menu screen.

[0040] When the user selects the "Search for available positions" button image 501 through the web browser 500 and operates the "Decision" button image 503, the system 1 performs the support process of the first mode shown in Fig. 2(a). On the other hand, when the user selects the "Apply for transfer" button image 502 through the web browser 500 and operates the "Decision" button image 503, the system 1 performs the support process of the second mode shown in Fig. 2(b). When the "Back" button image 504 is operated, the display of the web browser 500 returns to the main menu screen.

[0041] <First aspect> 5, an employee who is interested in searching for available positions and is attempting to apply is an applicant, and the information terminal operated by the applicant is applicant terminal 31 shown in Fig. 2(a). When the applicant selects search available positions button image 501 through web browser 500 of applicant terminal 31 and operates decision button image 503, system 1 transitions web browser 500 of applicant terminal 31 to a available positions screen as exemplified in Fig. 6.

[0042] The vacant position screen illustrated in Figure 6 displays a company circle button image 611, a job position button image 612, a job description button image 613, an apply button image 614, a company square button image 621, a job position button image 622, a job description button image 623, and an apply button image 624.

[0043] When the applicant operates company ○ button image 611 (or company □ button image 621, the same applies below for company □), information for other companies in the company's group is switched to and displayed in Web browser 500. When the applicant operates job position button image 612 (622), summary information for the job position being advertised at the company is switched to and displayed. The summary information can be expressed in a position name that can be commonly recognized by each group company. When the applicant operates job description button image 613 (623), a "job description" that specifies the details of the advertised job position and "evaluation criteria" that serve as an indicator of whether the job has been fulfilled are displayed.

[0044] When the applicant operates the apply button image 614 (624), the Web browser 500 transitions to an application input screen as exemplified in FIG. 7. Note that FIG. 6 illustrates a case where there are two positions available, and the apply button image 614 (624) indirectly represents the applicant's decision at that time, but there may be so many positions available that they cannot be displayed on one screen of the Web browser 500. In this case, when the applicant operates the scroll image (not shown) of the Web browser 500 to the information of the company that is recruiting for the last position, a back button image (not shown) is displayed. This allows the applicant to recognize that there is currently no position to which he or she wishes to be transferred, and he or she can select one or both of the two positions available.

[0045] Fig. 7 is an example of an application input screen displayed on the web browser 500 of the applicant terminal 31, which is switched to and displayed when the application button image 614 (624) in Fig. 6 is operated. The application input screen is formed with an employee name (employee ID) input area 701, a current affiliation input area 702, a self-evaluation 703 of the required skills described in the job description 613 (623), evaluation by others 704, a back button image 705, and a decision button image 706. The operations when the back button image 705 and the decision button image 706 are operated are the same as those described above.

[0046] In the employee name (employee ID) input area 701, it is possible to remain anonymous. In the current affiliation input area 702, the name or company code of the current affiliation is input. In self-evaluation 703, for example, a self-evaluation of the required skills defined in the job description 613 is input, and in others' evaluation 704, an evaluation of the above required skills by someone other than the employee in question, preferably a superior's employee, is input along with their employee ID. This evaluation information is one of the pieces of information that objectify the applicant's subjectivity and make it easier for the company that has advertised for the position to select whether or not the person is suitable for that position.

[0047] When the decision button image 706 is operated on the application input screen of the Web browser 500, the system 1 stores the input contents in the recruiting activity information DB 14 and notifies the recruiting company terminal 21 of the application contents. The system 1 also acquires post-application selection information, etc. from the recruiting company terminal 21 as needed, and transmits the acquired selection information, etc. to the applicant terminal 31 as well as acquiring a response from the applicant terminal 31 as necessary.

[0048] The information from the recruiting company terminal 21 includes information on the selection process at the recruiting company, transfers after selection, etc. The response from the applicant terminal 31 includes information such as an indication of intention to withdraw / decline / continue application. Since this information requires high security, the system 1 creates confidential files for each application to confidentially store this information exchanged between the applicant terminal 31 and the recruiting company terminal 21, and stores this information in the recruiting activity information DB 14.

[0049] The system 1 also generates a status screen exclusively for the applicant and a status screen exclusively for the recruiting company based on confidential files accumulated according to the progress of the selection process after application, and posts them on a web page, setting the viewing authority for the former status screen only to the applicant terminal 31, and the viewing authority for the latter status screen only to the recruiting company terminal 21. At this time, in addition to the viewing authority, the authority to add to, modify, and delete each dedicated status screen may also be set.

[0050] FIG. 9 shows an example of a status screen for applicants that can be viewed on the applicant terminal 31. In FIG. 9, the status "applying" indicates a state in which an applicant has applied for a vacant position, and displays data such as accepted, withdrawal / continuation, and the latest update date. The status "preliminary selection" (document screening) indicates a state in which an applicant is continuing without withdrawing, and displays data such as the number of candidates (total number of applicants), pass / fail, decline / continuation, and the latest update date. The status "interview date being considered" indicates a state in which an applicant has not declined and has passed the preliminary selection, and displays data such as the number of interview subjects (total number of interview subjects), decision (interview date decided) / undecided (interview date not decided), decline / continuation, and the latest update date. The status "final selection" indicates a state in which an applicant has not declined and an interview date has been decided, and displays data such as the number of subjects (number of applicants remaining in the final selection), pass / fail, decline / continuation, and the latest update date. Furthermore, the status "preparing for transfer", which indicates that the applicant has not declined and has passed the final selection, displays data on the planned transfer date, current status, and most recent update date.

[0051] Each data shown in FIG. 9 is updated whenever there is a change. The most recent update date is the last updated date. In addition, the withdrawal / continuation may be set to show only either withdrawal or continuation. The same applies to pass / fail, decline / continue, and decide / pending. 9 is an example of the status of an applicant who has applied, completed an interview, and passed the final selection, and if the applicant has failed the preliminary selection (pass / fail is "fail"), the subsequent status may not be displayed. Alternatively, only the current status may be displayed.

[0052] FIG. 10 is an example of a status screen for a recruiting company that can be viewed by the recruiting company terminal 21. In FIG. 10, the status "Recruiting" indicates that the recruiting company has recruited for a job position from other group companies, and displays data on the number of applicants, withdrawal / continuation, and latest update date. In addition, the status "In contact" indicates that the recruiting company has continued the job without withdrawing and is in contact with the applicant, and displays data on blocked / free, applicant name, decline / continuation, and latest update date. Blocked / free indicates whether the above-mentioned approach block information is set. In the case of free, the system 1 mediates communication between the recruiting company terminal 21 and the applicant terminal 31. In the case of blocked, approach block information is set, and the system 1 mediates communication between the recruiting company terminal 21 and the administrator terminal 33. The "Contact" status is generated for each applicant. Decline / Continue indicates that the applicant has indicated their intention to decline or continue.

[0053] Each data shown in FIG. 10 is updated whenever there is a change. The date and time of the last update is the latest update date. In addition, the withdrawal / continuation may be set to indicate only one of withdrawal or continuation. The same applies to decline / continuation. In addition, although FIG. 10 only displays the statuses “Recruiting” and “In contact,” after contact has been made, a status from “Preliminary selection” onward in FIG. 9 may be generated for the recruiting company and displayed on the recruiting company terminal 21.

[0054] <Second aspect> Returning to Fig. 5, a description will be given of an example of operation when the transfer application button image 502 is operated in the transfer menu of the Web browser 500. When the transfer application button image 502 is operated, the present system 1 performs the support process of the second mode shown in Fig. 2(b).

[0055] 5, an employee who desires a transfer is the transfer applicant, and the information terminal operated by the transfer applicant is the transfer applicant terminal 32 shown in Fig. 2(b). When an applicant selects a vacant position search button image 501 through the web browser 500 of the transfer applicant terminal 32 and operates a decision button image 504, the system 1 transitions the web browser 500 of the transfer applicant terminal 32 to an input screen for transfer application data, as exemplified in Fig. 8.

[0056] 8 displays an employee name (employee ID) input area 801, a current affiliation input area 802, a desired position 803, a self-evaluation 804, an evaluation by others 805, a decision button image 806, and a back button image 807. When the back button image 805 is operated, the display of the web browser 500 returns to the main menu screen.

[0057] In the employee name (employee ID) input area 801, it is possible to remain anonymous. In the current affiliation input area 802, the name or code of the current company is input. In the desired position 803, if the job position to which the employee wishes to be transferred is clear, it is input. If the job position to which the employee wishes to be transferred is unclear, or if any job position is acceptable, a symbol representing "all", such as an asterisk, is input. In self-evaluation 804, the employee's own evaluation of the required skills is input, and in others' evaluation 805, an evaluation of the required skills by someone other than the employee in question, preferably a superior's employee, accompanied by the employee ID, is input. The self-evaluation 804 and the evaluation by others 805 can be electronic evaluation documents that are read from the template information 146 of the recruitment activity information DB 14 and have evaluation items related to behavioral characteristics defined by evaluation standards common to all group companies, such as goal setting and decisiveness, self-motivation and motivation, proactiveness, leadership and human relationship building, flexibility and adaptability, communication skills, time management and ability to set priorities, and evaluation templates with numbers on a scale of 10 and free description fields prepared for each evaluation item, for example, and are filled in and saved. Alternatively, they may be PDF files of handwritten evaluation lists prepared in advance by all group companies. The evaluation by others can be replaced by a document equivalent to a recommendation letter from a superior. The company's evaluation and the evaluation by others are one of the pieces of information that make it easier for the recruiting company to select applicants by objectively viewing the applicant's subjectivity.

[0058] When the transfer applicant completes inputting information into the employee name (employee ID) input area 801, current affiliation input area 802, desired position 803, self-evaluation 804, and others' evaluation 805, and operates the decision button image 806, the present system 1 stores the input information in the recruitment activity information DB 14 and posts it on a website that can be viewed by employees of each group company. At this time, it may be possible to restrict viewing of the information by employees of the company to which the transfer applicant belongs. In addition, there are companies that are interested in the contents of the posted transfer application data, and the information terminal that attempts to approach transfer applicants through this system 1 is the interested company terminal 22 shown in Fig. 2(b). This system 1 mediates communication between this interested company terminal 22 and the transfer applicant terminal 21 or the administrator terminal 33 (if approach block information is set).

[0059] In the second mode, the system 1 also generates a status screen dedicated to the transfer applicant and a status screen dedicated to the interested company based on confidential files accumulated according to the progress of the selection of the transfer applicant after an approach from the interested company terminal 22, sets the viewing authority of the former status screen only to the transfer applicant terminal 21, and sets the viewing authority of the latter status screen only to the interested company terminal 22, and posts them on a Web page. At this time, not only the viewing authority but also the authority to add to, modify, and delete each dedicated status screen may be set.

[0060] An example of a status screen for transfer applicants that can be viewed on the transfer applicant terminal 21 is shown in Fig. 11. In Fig. 11, the status "requesting transfer", which indicates the state in which a transfer application has been made, displays data such as accepted, number of companies of interest, withdrawal / continuation, and latest update date. The status "in contact", which indicates the state in which the transfer applicant has not withdrawn but is continuing and the interested company is attempting to contact them through the system 1, displays data such as free / blocked, name of the interested company, declined / continued, and latest update date. The "in contact" status is generated for each company attempting to contact.

[0061] "Free" means that no approach block information has been set, i.e., it is possible to freely contact the company of interest without going through a superior, etc. "Blocked" means that the company (superior) has set approach block information for you in advance (you are considered important in the company), and therefore the company of interest is in contact with the administrator terminal 33.

[0062] When the free or approach block information is released, the transfer applicant will be selected for transfer between the interested company and the company. In this case, a status screen dedicated to the transfer applicant will be generated and only the applicant can view it, and the content of this status screen will be almost the same as the applicant status screen shown in Figure 9.

[0063] FIG. 12 is an example diagram of a status screen dedicated to companies of interest that can be viewed by the company of interest terminal 22. In FIG. 12, the status "approaching", which indicates that the company of interest has approached the transfer applicant, displays the target employee's name, the number of other companies of interest for that employee, rejection / application, and the latest update date. If the number of other companies of interest is large, it is presumed that other companies in the group are very interested in the target employee, that is, that the employee is highly skilled. "Rejection" indicates that the target employee has rejected a transfer to the company of interest, and "Applied" indicates that the target employee intends to apply to the company of interest. The "approaching" status is generated for each target employee.

[0064] Each data shown in FIG. 12 is updated whenever there is a change. The date and time of the last update is the latest update date. In addition, the withdrawal / continuation may be set to show only one of withdrawal or continuation. The same applies to rejection / application. In addition, although FIG. 12 only displays the status “approaching”, if the target employee’s intention to apply is confirmed after the approach, a status after “preliminary selection” in FIG. 9 may be generated for the interested company and displayed on the interested company terminal 22.

[0065] [Advantages of different operating modes] As described above, the present system 1 is equipped with a posting means for posting the transfer application data submitted by the transfer applicant (employee) and information on the job positions being recruited at any of the companies on an information site accessible to employees of each group company, and a monitoring and control means for monitoring and controlling communication between a first terminal (applicant terminal) operated by an applicant (employee) interested in the job position and a second terminal (recruiting company terminal) operated by a person in charge of the company that has recruited for the job position, and / or communication between a third terminal (interested company terminal) operated by a person in charge of the company interested in the transfer application data and a fourth terminal (transfer applicant terminal) operated by the transfer applicant, thereby providing employees with the opportunity to develop their careers at other group companies other than their own, and enabling group companies to curb the outflow of human resources to other group companies.

[0066] In particular, by clearly indicating the career path guidelines for all group companies through job position information, even employees who do not currently wish to be transferred will be able to understand the direction of their own career path and be motivated to work in their current position, which is expected to increase their motivation to build a long-term career within the entire group. This will make it possible to provide transfer support that is beneficial for both group companies and employees. For those seeking transfers, the move will be between group companies, so even if the acquired company becomes one of the group companies through M&A, it is expected that employees of the acquired company will be able to create new career opportunities within the acquiring company's group companies.

[0067] In this system 1, the transfer application data sent by the transfer applicant can be in a form including, for example, the self-evaluation result of the transfer applicant and the evaluation result by others other than the transfer applicant with respect to behavioral characteristics defined by evaluation criteria common to the entire group of companies. In this case, it is expected that other group companies will be able to easily determine whether the transfer applicant has skills suitable for their company's work, or whether the transfer applicant should be a candidate for selection in their company. By publicizing the behavioral characteristics in advance in this way, it is possible to clarify the career path for employees in the entire group of companies.

[0068] In the present system 1, the monitoring and control means may be configured to restrict communication between the second terminal or the interested company terminal of the transfer applicant and the first terminal or the fourth terminal until an instruction is input from a fifth terminal (administrator terminal) operated by the manager of the applicant or the transfer applicant is released. With such a configuration, it is possible to prevent the applicant or the transfer applicant from being suddenly (unexpectedly) transferred from his / her current affiliation to another company in the group.

[0069] In this system 1, the monitoring and control means can be configured to allow the first terminal and the second terminal, or the third terminal and the fourth terminal, to view a status screen dedicated to that terminal, which displays the progress of the selection process in chronological order, and to allow the first terminal, the second terminal, the third terminal, or the fourth terminal to enter, modify, and delete data posted on the status screen dedicated to that terminal. This allows the parties involved in the recruitment activity to clearly understand the current progress, allowing the recruitment activity to proceed smoothly.

[0070] [Variations] In the example of Figure 5, an example has been described in which information on already registered vacant positions is displayed when an employee operates the button image for searching available positions 501 on the web browser 500 of his or her information terminal. However, regardless of whether a vacant position is registered or not, a job position in which an employee is interested can be searched for using the search (AI search) function of the monitoring control unit 114, and communication can be mediated between the information terminal of the company for the searched job position.

[0071] Alternatively, regardless of the presence or absence of transfer application data, a list of employees wishing to be transferred may be posted (allowed to be viewed) on the information terminals of each group company, and communication may be mediated between the information terminals of companies of interest that are interested in the employees displayed in the list and the information terminals of the companies to which the target employees belong. In these cases, the authority to view the status screen is given to the information terminal that accessed it.

[0072] In this embodiment, an example has been described in which the system 1 is configured to include each of the servers (computers) of the Web server 10, the AP server 11, and the DB server 12. However, the present invention can also be implemented using a single information processing device having communication and storage functions, and a single computer program that causes this information processing device to realize the above functions.

[0073] In this embodiment, it is assumed that the group organization is a group company and that the individual organizations that make up the group organization are also companies, but the present invention can be implemented even if the group organization or part of the organization includes a university, research institute, or other non-corporate organization or group.
