Note that it may also be configured to further subdivide the phase configuration for application to the corporate talent recruitment process.

[0034] (Data processing on the job-seeking side) FIG. 5 is a flowchart showing an example of data processing by the first data terminals 3-1 to 3-N and 4-1 to 4-N in the job seeking and recruitment support system according to the present embodiment. Note that (1) to (14) indicate each step, and each step is realized by the CPU 301 of the first data terminals 3-1 to 3-N and 4-1 to 4-N executing a stored program (including a browser). Also, a new graduate group leader who is job hunting gathers a plurality of students (assuming, for example, 5 to 6 students), represents job hunting in units of groups, and each student in each group can also be configured to be able to connect to the present system by operating a data terminal such as a smartphone carried by them. In the following description, data processing will be described mainly with the group leader as the subject.

[0035] The new graduate group leader who is job hunting operates the keyboard 310 and a pointing device (not shown) to start the browser displayed on the display 311 and connect to the platform 1A provided by the server device 1 connected to the network 21 (1).

[0036] Next, in a state where the account registration screen provided by the platform 1A is displayed on the display 311, the keyboard 310 is operated to input the number of people constituting the group for the ID and password to be used by the group (2).

[0037] Next, when receiving a registration completion notice that the content of the account registration screen uploaded from the server device 1 is registered in the job seeking and recruitment information database 14 of the server device 1 (3), the group registration screen presented by the server device 1 is displayed on the display 311 (4).

[0038] Next, with the group registration screen provided by the platform 1A displayed on the display 311, when the group registration details are input for the number of people by operating the keyboard 310 (5), each student constituting each group can connect to the platform 1A at an arbitrary timing, obtain the latest job offers provided by the server device 1, and display and confirm them on the displays 311 of the first data terminals 3-1 to 3-N and 4-1 to 4-N.

[0039] Next, the CPU 301 determines whether the first data terminals 3-1 to 3-N and 4-1 to 4-N operated by the group leader have received a scout notification indicating a scout request in group units from the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N operated by the company via the server device 1 (6). If it is determined that the scout notification has been received, it is possible to click a scout confirmation button (not shown) to view the information of the company indicating that it wants to scout.

[0040] Next, the CPU 301 displays the company job application screen presented by the server device 1 on the display 311 (7). Here, by operating the keyboard 310 to operate the application button, the group leader causes the application file to be transmitted to the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N operated by the company staff via the server device 1.

[0041] In response to this, after determining the interview date and time, interview location, etc. at a meeting, the company staff sends an interview notice to the group leader who applied to the server device 1.

[0042] Next, when the CPU 301 receives the interview notice sent by the corporate officer via the platform 1A of the server device 1 (8), by clicking on the group interview displayed on the display 311 via the browser, the CPU 301 notifies the other members constituting the group of the interview email, and notifies the fact by email (9). In this way, since the email addresses of the members registered in the group are registered in the job seeking information database 14, it is possible to complete the interview notice for each student constituting the group with one click.

[0043] Next, the CPU 301 checks whether the phase presented by the platform 1A is F31 as shown in FIG. 4 (10), and by operating a button (not shown), the phase progresses, and determines whether the phase presented by the platform 1A has progressed to F41 (11).

[0044] Here, when the CPU 301 determines that the phase has progressed to F41, it determines whether it has obtained a notice of confirmation of employment from the company side via the platform 1A (12). If it determines that it has not obtained a notice of confirmation of employment, it returns to step (6).

[0045] On the other hand, in step (12), when the CPU 301 determines that it has obtained a notice of confirmation of employment, it advances the phase to F51.

[0046] Then, the group leader consults with the members to discuss whether to accept the employment offer, and the phase progresses to the final decision to accept the employment offer.

[0047] Next, the CPU 301 notifies the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N operated by the corporate officer of the fact of acceptance of the employment offer via the platform 1A (13). Next, the CPU 301 notifies the server device 1 to update the registered group information (14), and ends the process.

[0048] In this way, in this embodiment, the newly graduated students registered in a group will receive an offer in the form of a group while undergoing scouting in groups. For those who are less likely to receive an offer through individual traditional interviews, if the company evaluates the human resource value of the group, all members will be able to get employed by the same company.

[0049] (Data processing on the employer side) FIG. 6 is a flowchart showing an example of data processing by the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N in the job-seeking and employment support system according to this embodiment. Note that (21) to (36) indicate each step, and each step is realized by the CPUs 301 of the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N executing a program (including a browser) stored therein.

[0050] The employer in charge who hopes for a group interview operates the keyboard 310 and a pointing device (not shown) to start the browser displayed on the display 311 and connect to the platform 1A provided by the server device 1 connected to the network 21 (21).

[0051] Next, while the account registration screen provided by the platform 1A is displayed on the display 311, the keyboard 310 is operated to input an account including an ID and a password for use by the employer (22).

[0052] Next, when receiving a registration completion notice that the content of the account registration screen uploaded from the server device 1 is registered in the job-seeking and employment information database 14 of the server device 1 (23), the server device 1 displays a company registration page on the display 311 (24).

[0053] Next, the employer operates the browsers of the second data terminals 5-1 to 5-N and 2-1 to 2-N to view the registration group information of job seekers who are published on the platform 1A and hope for group interviews (25).

[0054] Next, when the CPU 301 receives from the server device 1 that a group corresponding to the corporate philosophy and corporate position is registered via the network 21 (26), the person in charge of the company operates the keyboard 310 to apply for scouting for a specific group disclosed on the platform 1A (27). Thereafter, as described above, a notice indicating that a company showing interest has scouted for the leader of the registered group will be notified from the server device 1 via the network 21.

[0055] Next, when the CPU 301 receives from the server device 1 that there is a group-based interview application notice from the group for which scouting has been applied (28), it advances the phase to F32 (29). Then, the interview with the above-mentioned group is executed at the designated date and place.

[0056] Next, the CPU 301 determines according to the progress input by the person in charge of the company as to whether the group-based interview has been completed (30). When the CPU 301 confirms that the group-based interview has been completed, since an employment meeting including corporate officers and department heads of the company is executed, the employment meeting is recorded in an electronic file (not shown) (31).

[0057] Next, the CPU 301 advances the phase to F42 (32). Then, the CPU 301 notifies the server device 1 of the conditional offer for the group for which employment has been determined (33).

[0058] Then, the CPU 301 advances the phase to F52 (34) and determines whether it has received, by the pressing of a button indicating acceptance of employment disclosed on the platform 1A, the conditional offer notice notified to the group leader by the server device 1 via the network 21 (35). Here, when the CPU 301 determines that it has received the acceptance of employment, it closes a series of phases (36) and ends this process.

[0059] In this way, if a company interviews students who are seeking employment for its job openings individually, it becomes possible to collectively acquire outstanding students who can obtain group evaluations, including those who may not be employable.

[0060] At this time, since a series of phases are managed via the platform 1A provided by the server device 1, the person in charge at the company can accurately determine the progress of each phase from job recruitment → scouting → group interview → group offer notice → acceptance · joining the company while checking the current phase, thereby significantly shortening the cost and period required to recruit personnel.

[0061] 〔Effect of the First Embodiment〕 According to this embodiment, in the job hunting activities for new graduates, the mutual interaction between the user side and the employer side can smoothly proceed through a series of phases from site registration, application or scouting, interview, offer, to offer acceptance for grouped employers.

[0062] 〔Second Embodiment〕 In the above embodiment, the system configuration assuming a single group of students forming a group was described, but it is also applicable to a system assuming multiple groups of students forming a group.

[0063] 〔Effect of the Second Embodiment〕 According to this embodiment, when a person in charge at a company plans a significant increase in personnel according to the requirements of the department, it becomes possible to collectively recruit students from multiple groups.

[0064] The present invention can also be realized by supplying a program that realizes one or more functions of the above-described embodiments to a system or device via a network or a storage medium, and having one or more processors in the computer of the system or device read and execute the program. It can also be realized by a circuit (for example, ASIC) that realizes one or more functions.
