Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0004] The attributes of the recipients of the scout mail and the sending times vary.

[0005] In view of the above circumstances, the present invention aims to provide a recruitment support system or the like that can distinguish scout mails according to the attributes of the recipients.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0006] According to one aspect of the present invention, a recruitment support system is provided. This recruitment support system includes a processor. The processor is configured to execute the following steps. In the setting step, a plurality of types of scout mails with respective set sending conditions are set. The sending conditions are conditions that limit the attributes of the job seekers as the recipients or the sendable times of the scout mails. In the determination step, the type of scout mail that can be sent to the selected job seeker as the recipient is determined, and the type of scout mail to be sent to the recipient is determined. In the sending step, the scout mail of the determined type is sent to the recipient.

[0007] According to such an aspect, by setting scout mails with different transmission conditions, the distribution numbers of scout mails for each category can be grasped and controlled. Therefore, the matching accuracy of scout mails for job seekers can be improved.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0009] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. The various characteristic matters shown in the embodiments below can be combined with each other.

[0010] Incidentally, the program for realizing the software appearing in this embodiment may be provided as a non-transitory computer-readable medium that can be read by a computer, may be provided so as to be downloadable from an external server, or may be provided so that the program is started on an external computer and its function is realized on a client terminal (so-called cloud computing).

[0011] Also, in this embodiment, the "section" may include, for example, a combination of hardware resources implemented by a circuit in a broad sense and information processing of software that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. Also, in this embodiment, various information is handled, and these information are represented, for example, by physical values of signal values representing voltage and current, the high and low of signal values as a set of binary bits composed of 0 or 1, or quantum superposition (so-called quantum bits), and communication and calculation can be executed on a circuit in a broad sense.

[0012] Also, the circuit in a broad sense is a circuit realized by appropriately combining at least a circuit, circuitry, a processor, a memory, etc. That is, it includes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), programmable logic devices (for example, a simple programmable logic device (SPLD), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), etc.

[0013] 1. Hardware Configuration In this section, the hardware configuration will be described.

[0014] <Employment Support System 1> FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing Employment Support System 1. Employment Support System 1 includes a communication line 2, a server device 10, a plurality of employer terminals 20, and a plurality of job seeker terminals 30. The server device 10, the employer terminals 20, and the job seeker terminals 30 are configured to be communicable through the communication line 2. The connections of the server device 10, the employer terminals 20, and the job seeker terminals 30 may be wired or wireless.

[0015] Employment Support System 1 constitutes a part of an employment and job seeking system used by a plurality of employers (First Employer U1 and Second Employer U2) and a plurality of job seekers (First Job Seeker U3 and Third Job Seeker U4). Employment Support System 1 mainly creates and sends scout mails. In one embodiment, Employment Support System 1 consists of one or more devices or components. Hereinafter, these components will be described.

[0016] <Server Device 10> FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of server device 10. Server device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, and a communication bus 14. The control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 are electrically connected inside the server device 10 via the communication bus 14.

[0017] <Control Unit 11> The control unit 11 performs processing and control of the overall operation related to the server device 10. The control unit 11 is, for example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU). The control unit 11 realizes various functions related to the server device 10 by reading a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 12. That is, the information processing by the software stored in the storage unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11 which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11. These will be described in more detail in the next section. Note that the control unit 11 is not limited to being single, and may be implemented to have a plurality of control units 11 for each function. Or a combination thereof may also be possible.

[0018] <Storage unit 12> The storage unit 12 stores various information defined by the foregoing description. This can be implemented, for example, as a storage device such as a Solid State Drive (SSD) that stores various programs and the like related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11, or as a memory such as a Random Access Memory (RAM) that stores temporarily necessary information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to the calculation of the program. The storage unit 12 stores various programs, variables, etc. related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11. Also, the storage unit 12 may be an external storage device connected to the server device 10.

[0019] <Communication unit 13> The communication unit 13 preferably uses wired communication means such as USB, IEEE1394, Thunderbolt (registered trademark), wired LAN network communication, etc., but may include wireless LAN network communication, mobile communication such as 3G / LTE / 5G, BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) communication, etc. as required. That is, it is more preferable to implement it as a collection of these plural communication means. That is, the server device 10 may communicate various information from the outside via the communication unit 13 and the network.

[0020] The server device 10 may be in an on-premises form or in a cloud form. As the server device 10 in the cloud form, for example, it may provide the above-described functions and processes in the form of SaaS (Software as a Service), cloud computing, etc. Further, the server device 10 may be a multi-computer including a plurality of computers, or may be a virtual machine virtually constructed by software.

[0021] <Recruiter terminal 20> FIG. 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the recruiter terminal 20 and the job seeker terminal 30. As shown in FIG. 3A, the recruiter terminal 20 includes a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, an input unit 24, an output unit 25, and a communication bus 26. The control unit 21, the storage unit 22, the communication unit 23, the input unit 24, and the output unit 25 are electrically connected via the communication bus 26 inside the recruiter terminal 20. The descriptions of the control unit 21, the storage unit 22, and the communication unit 23 are omitted because they are the same as the descriptions of the respective units in the server device 10. Note that the recruiter terminal 20 may be a terminal operated by a staffing agency that communicates with job seekers on behalf of the recruiter.

[0022] <Input unit 24> The input unit 24 receives an operation input made by the user. The operation input is transferred as an instruction signal to the control unit 21 via the communication bus 26. The control unit 21 can execute predetermined control and calculations based on the transferred instruction signal as necessary. The input unit 24 may be included in the housing of the recruiter terminal 20 or may be externally attached. For example, the input unit 24 may be implemented as a touch panel integrally with the output unit 25. When the input unit 24 is implemented as a touch panel, the user can input a tap operation, a swipe operation, etc. to the input unit 24. As the input unit 24, instead of a touch panel, a switch button, a mouse, a track pad, a QWERTY keyboard, etc. can be adopted.

[0023] <Output unit 25> The output unit 25 displays a screen of a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be operated by the user. The output unit 25 may be included in the housing of the job seeker terminal 20 or may be externally attached. Specifically, the output unit 25 can be implemented as a display device such as a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, or a plasma display. These display devices are preferably implemented selectively according to the type of the job seeker terminal 20.

[0024] <Job seeker terminal 30> As shown in FIG. 3B, the job seeker terminal 30 includes a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, an input unit 34, an output unit 35, and a communication bus 36. The control unit 31, the storage unit 32, the communication unit 33, the input unit 34, and the output unit 35 are electrically connected via the communication bus 36 inside the job seeker terminal 30. The descriptions of the control unit 31, the storage unit 32, the communication unit 33, the input unit 34, and the output unit 35 are omitted because they are the same as the descriptions of the respective units in the job provider terminal 20.

[0025] 2. Functional configuration In this section, the functional configuration of the present embodiment will be described. Information processing by software stored in the storage unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11 which is an example of hardware, and thus can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11 (the processor included in the employment support system 1).

[0026] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing functions realized by the server device 10 (control unit 11), the job provider terminal 20 (control unit 21), and the job seeker terminal 30 (control unit 31).

[0027] As shown in FIG. 4A, the server device 10 (control unit 11) includes a basic display control unit 111, a reception unit 112, a setting unit 113, a charging unit 114, a search unit 115, a scout creation unit 116, a determination unit 117, a transmission unit 118, a notification unit 119, and an artificial intelligence unit 120. As shown in FIG. 4B, the job seeker terminal 20 (control unit 21) includes a display unit 211 and an operation reception unit 212. As shown in FIG. 4C, the job applicant terminal 30 (control unit 31) includes a display unit 311 and an operation reception unit 312.

[0028] <basic display control unit 111> The basic display control unit 111 is configured to display various information on the job seeker terminal 20 and the job applicant terminal 30. For example, the basic display control unit 111 displays a resume and work history created by a job applicant, a job offer and scout document created by a job seeker, etc. on the display unit 211 of the job seeker terminal 20 or the display unit 311 of the job applicant terminal 30.

[0029] Job seekers include organizations such as for-profit corporations (e.g., companies, etc.), non-profit corporations (e.g., cooperatives, foundations, etc.), and public corporations (e.g., local public entities, etc.). In addition, job seekers also include personnel intermediaries who act as agents of the organization and mediate between job applicants and the organization. Personnel intermediaries are also called headhunters, agents, etc.

[0030] <reception unit 112> The reception unit 112 is configured to receive inputs from the job seeker terminal 20 or the job applicant terminal 30. For example, the reception unit 112 receives an input of the recipient of the scout mail from the job seeker terminal 20. The recipient is selected from among the job applicants registered in the database of the employment support system 1.

[0031] Specifically, the reception unit 112 receives an input for creating and transmitting a scout mail to the job applicant searched by the search unit 115 described later. The reception unit 112 may simultaneously receive inputs (selections) of a plurality of recipients from the list of search results.

[0032] The search for job seekers is carried out on the job seeker registration information registered by job seekers. The job seeker registration information includes the resume, work history, and other profile information of the job seeker. A "resume" is mainly a document that describes the profile, current situation, educational background, work history, desired working conditions, etc. of the job seeker. A "work history" is also called a resume and is a document in which a job seeker conveys to the employer his / her past work history, experience, skills, qualifications, etc. In addition, the job seeker's registration information may include conditions such as the industry and job type desired by the job seeker. Here, the job seeker may be a person scheduled to graduate (i.e., a student at a graduate school, university, junior college, technical college, etc.).

[0033] If the job seeker is a person scheduled to graduate, the resume will include the expected graduation year, expected educational background, etc. Also, in the case of a person scheduled to graduate, instead of a work history, an entry sheet may be included in the job seeker registration information. An "entry sheet" is a document that conveys the desired industry, desired job type, presence or absence of internship experience, strengths, areas of interest, etc. Note that "graduation" includes the completion of a graduate school program.

[0034] <Additional functions of the reception section 112> The reception section 112 may receive actions from the job seeker terminal 30 directed at the employer. Actions include participation in employment events related to the employer, requests for alumni visits, responses to scout emails and other communications and notifications from the employer, applications for the main selection, etc.

[0035] Employment events include in-house events hosted by the organization that is the employer and joint events in which the organization that is the employer participates. Specific examples of employment events include, for example, company briefings, internships, etc.

[0036] An alumni visit is to conduct an interview with an alumnus of the same alma mater as the job seeker who belongs to the organization that is the employer. The alumni targeted for alumni visits include recognized alumni recognized by the organization (e.g., recruitment staff) and registered by the organization, and self-registered alumni who have independently registered themselves.

[0037] <Setting Unit 113> The setting unit 113 is configured to set scout emails (i.e., communication tools sent from job recruiters to job seekers) to be sent to job seekers. Specifically, the setting unit 113 sets a plurality of types of scout emails with respective transmission conditions set. The transmission conditions are conditions that limit the attributes of the job seekers to be sent or the time when the scout emails can be sent. Note that the content of the scout documents received by the recipients does not change depending on the type of the sent scout emails. Here, the scout emails only need to be sent from job recruiters to job seekers, and may be notifications, contacts, invitations, etc. from job recruiters to job seekers. Also, for example, the scout emails may be read as invitation emails for events sent from job recruiters to job seekers.

[0038] For the scout emails with "attributes of the job seekers to be sent" set as the transmission condition, they can be sent only to the recipients having the attributes set as the transmission condition. The attributes of the job seekers are at least one of the job seekers' employment time (for those scheduled to graduate, the scheduled graduation year), the current or past affiliated organizations of the job seekers (for those scheduled to graduate, the scheduled graduating university), the annual income of the job seekers, the job types of the job seekers, and the positions of the job seekers. Thereby, the transmission of the scout emails can be controlled according to the attributes of the job seekers. As a result, it becomes easy to grasp the number of sent scout emails according to the attributes.

[0039] For the scout emails with "the time when the scout emails can be sent" set as the transmission condition, they can be sent to the recipients only during the set transmission possible time (e.g., by a certain month in a certain year). Note that scout emails with both the attributes of the recipients and the transmission possible time of the scout emails limited may be set.

[0040] The transmission condition for restricting the attributes of job seekers to be sent may be that the attributes of the job seekers to be sent are included in a specific attribute category. Thereby, it becomes possible to set the types of scout mails according to the attributes of the recipients. The "attribute category" is what divides the attributes in one category into multiple university groups. For example, in the category of "university attended", multiple groups that classify the universities attended by job seekers each become an "attribute category". Also, one attribute category may include other attribute categories. For example, in terms of industry type, there may be a scout mail with the attribute category of "manufacturing industry" and a scout mail with the attribute category of "mechanical manufacturer". In this case, there may be attributes included in multiple attribute categories. For example, the attribute of "automobile manufacturer" is included in the attribute category of "manufacturing industry" and the attribute category of "mechanical manufacturer".

[0041] The setting unit 113 may set a first scout mail and a second scout mail for which transmission conditions are respectively set. The expected value of a reply to the scout mail for job seekers having attributes included in the attribute category of the second scout mail may be higher than the expected value for job seekers having attributes included in the attribute category of the first scout mail. Thereby, the employer can send a scout mail while being aware of whether the recipient is a job seeker with an attribute having a high expected value of an action such as a reply or a job seeker with an attribute having a low expected value of an action. Therefore, the matching accuracy of the scout mail for job seekers can be improved. Note that the expected value of an action for each attribute category may be calculated, for example, from the statistical data of actions for each attribute category in the employment support system 1 and / or an external system. For example, the expected value of a reply to a scout mail for each attribute category is calculated from the statistical data of the transmission and reply of past scout mails for each attribute category in the employment support system 1 and / or an external system.

[0042] The range in which the transmission conditions for the second scout mail are satisfied may be wider than the range in which the transmission conditions for the first scout mail are satisfied. As a result, two types of scout mails with different generalities can be selectively used, so that the job seeker can plan the transmission of the scout mail.

[0043] Furthermore, the range in which the transmission conditions for the second scout mail are satisfied may include the range in which the transmission conditions for the first scout mail are satisfied. This can enhance the generality of the second scout mail and enable the second scout mail to be transmitted in place of the first scout mail. Therefore, the convenience of the job seeker is improved.

[0044] When the recipient of the scout mail is a person scheduled to graduate, the setting unit 113 may set the transmission condition for the first scout mail such that the period until graduation of the person scheduled to graduate is equal to or less than a first period determined in advance, and set the transmission condition for the second scout mail such that the period until graduation of the person scheduled to graduate is equal to or less than a second period longer than the first period. The first period is, for example, one year and one month. That is, the transmission condition for the first scout mail is that the person scheduled to graduate is a student in the so-called "main selection period". The "main selection period" is the period after March of the year before the graduation year (for example, the junior year of a faculty) when the new graduate recruitment activities on the job seeker side officially start. The second period is a period exceeding one year and one month and is at most four years (in the case of a student immediately after enrollment). That is, the transmission condition for the second scout mail is that the person scheduled to graduate is a student in the so-called "pre-selection period" or a student in the "main selection period". In other words, the transmission condition for the second scout mail is that the person scheduled to graduate is in school. The "pre-selection period" is, for example, the period from enrollment to the end of February of the year before the graduation year before the new graduate recruitment activities on the job seeker side officially start. As a result, the job seeker can selectively use the second scout mail that can be transmitted to students in the pre-selection period, who have a higher reply rate to the scout mail compared to students in the main selection period, and the first scout mail that can be transmitted only to students in the main selection period. Also, since the second scout mail can be transmitted to students in the main selection period, the second scout mail can be used in place of the first scout mail (as upward compatible).

[0045] When the transmission conditions of the first scout mail and the second scout mail are set based on the scheduled graduation year of the prospective new graduates as described above, the range in which the transmission conditions of the second scout mail are satisfied is wider than the range in which the transmission conditions of the first scout mail are satisfied. Also, the range in which the transmission conditions of the second scout mail are satisfied includes the range in which the transmission conditions of the first scout mail are satisfied. Furthermore, students in the preliminary screening period have a higher reply rate to scout mails than students in the main screening period. Therefore, the expected value of replies to scout mails in the attribute classification of the second scout mail (the classification where the period until graduation is the first period or less) is higher than the expected value of replies to scout mails in the attribute classification of the first scout mail (the classification where the period until graduation is the second period or less).

[0046] The setting unit 113 sets the mail unit price that the job seeker pays to send the scout mail in the scout mail. In order for the job seeker to send the scout mail, it is necessary to pay a billing amount corresponding to the number of scout mails sent. The job seeker pays the billing amount charged in the billing unit 114 described later.

[0047] The setting unit 113 may set an expiration date for the scout mail. The expiration date is set, for example, as a certain period from the purchase date of the scout mail. The expiration date may be constant regardless of the type of scout mail, or may be set according to the type of scout mail. Also, even for scout mails of the same type, there are scout mails with different expiration dates due to differences such as the purchase date. The setting unit 113 deletes the scout mail whose expiration date has passed (that is, deletes it from the stock).

[0048] The setting unit 113 may display the expiration date for each type of scout mail. FIG. 5 is an example of a scout mail management screen CD that displays the type of scout mail and its expiration date. On the scout mail management screen CD, the stock number (number in possession) for each type of scout mail and the breakdown (remaining number) for each expiration date (usage date) are displayed.

[0049] <Additional Function of the Setting Unit 113> The setting unit 113 may set the content of the notification to the job seeker (organization) of the action received by the reception unit 112 (that is, the communication tool sent from the job seeker to the employer). Specifically, the setting unit 113 adds the action history of the job seeker, who is the sender of the action, to the notification content of the action received by the employer.

[0050] The action history of the job seeker is typically the action history during the student days and includes, for example, the participation history in job fairs, the visit history to alumni, etc. The action history of the job seeker is recorded in, for example, the database of the job seeker registration information. For example, the setting unit 113 may set the presence, frequency, counterpart, etc. of each of the participation in company briefings, internships, alumni visits, etc. to be displayed as the notification content. In addition, the setting unit 113 may use the reception history (number of receptions) of the scout mail, the presence or absence of application for the main selection, the timing of each action, etc. as the notification content. Furthermore, the action history may include evaluations in internships, alumni visits, etc. The setting unit 113 may set the action history represented in the timeline format as the notification content.

[0051] The setting unit 113 may add only the action history related to the employer who is the target of the action (for example, participation in briefings, internships, etc. hosted by the employer) among the action history of the job seeker to the notification content. Specifically, the setting unit 113 may display only the history of job fairs, alumni visits, etc. associated with the ID of the employer who is the target of the action as the notification content.

[0052] In addition, the setting unit 113 may set the range of the action history to be disclosed as the notification content according to the acquirer who receives the action notification. For example, in the case of an OB visit request, the OB who receives the request becomes the acquirer of the notification. In this case, the setting unit 113 sets the display permission and disclosure range of the action history based on the settings (policies) of the organization to which the OB belongs. For example, the setting unit 113 may permit the display of the action history for an officially recognized OB who has been recognized and registered by the organization, and may set not to display the action history for a self-registered OB who has registered voluntarily.

[0053] Furthermore, the setting unit 113 may set a template for the reaction (reply) of the job seeker to the action notification based on the action history of the job seeker. For example, the setting unit 113 may make the text of the reply template to the OB visit request for a job seeker who has participated in an internship different from the text of the reply template to the OB visit request for a job seeker who has not participated in an internship.

[0054] The setting unit 113 may set disclosure conditions regarding the action history for an event that accepts an action from a job seeker. For example, for an event where "internship participation" is set as the disclosure condition, it is disclosed (i.e., viewable) to job seekers whose action history includes "internship participation", while it is not disclosed to job seekers whose action history does not include "internship participation". In addition, the setting unit 113 may set disclosure conditions regarding the action history for the list in which the OB targeted for the OB visit is registered.

[0055] <Billing department 114> The charging unit 114 is configured to charge a job seeker or a job applicant according to the use of the service. Specifically, the charging unit 114 calculates, before or at the time of sending a scout mail, an amount corresponding to the number of scout mails and the mail unit price as the charging amount for the sender of the scout mail. As described above, the mail unit price is set for each type of scout mail according to the sending conditions. This enables the job seeker to select the type of scout mail to be sent to the job applicant based on the mail unit price. Note that there may be scout mails with the same mail unit price among the types of scout mails. Also, it is possible to set the mail unit price according to the expected value of actions such as replies by the job applicant (the recipient of the mail).

[0056] As described above, when the expected value of a reply to the scout mail in the attribute classification of the second scout mail is higher than that in the attribute classification of the first scout mail, or when the range in which the sending conditions of the second scout mail are satisfied is wider than the range in which the sending conditions of the first scout mail are satisfied, the mail unit price of the second scout mail may be set higher than the mail unit price of the first scout mail. Thereby, when the second scout mail is not required, the job seeker can reduce the sending cost of the scout mail by using the first scout mail.

[0057] The charging unit 114 may accept advance purchases for each type of scout mail to increase the stock for each type of scout mail in the sender of the scout mail. For example, when the charging unit 114 accepts an advance purchase of the first scout mail from a job seeker, it increases the stock of the first scout mail for that job seeker. The same applies when an advance purchase of the second scout mail is accepted. That is, the charging unit 114 accepts advance purchases of the first scout mail and the second scout mail respectively to increase the stock of each of the first scout mail and the second scout mail in the sender. Thereby, the job seeker can send scout mails while checking the stock for each type of scout mail, improving the ease of managing scout mails.

[0058] Instead of pre-purchasing scout emails, the billing department 114 may charge the sender each time a scout email is sent. For example, when the job seeker sends the first scout email, the billing department 114 may charge the job seeker with the email unit price of the first scout email as the billing amount. Also, when the job seeker sends multiple scout emails, the billing department 114 may charge the job seeker with a billing amount corresponding to the type and number of sent scout emails.

[0059] The billing amount charged to the job seeker is collected by the payment request process for the job seeker and the payment acceptance process from the job seeker by a settlement processing system inside or outside the employment support system 1.

[0060] <Search department 115> The search department 115 is configured to execute a search for job seekers by the job seeker. In the search for job seekers, the search department 115 receives an input of search conditions for the job seeker registration information database from the job seeker terminal 20, and searches for job seekers based on the search conditions. For example, in a search targeting those scheduled to graduate, conditions such as graduation year, academic background, and desired industry are set as search conditions. The job seeker selects, for example, the recipients of scout emails from the search results. Also, when searching for job seekers who are scheduled to graduate, the search department 115 receives the scheduled graduation year, scheduled graduation academic background, items described in the entry sheet, etc. as search conditions. Furthermore, when searching for job seekers other than those scheduled to graduate, the search department 115 receives the skills, qualifications, age, former company, etc. of the job seeker as search conditions.

[0061] The search section 115 may display the stock of scout emails together with the search results. FIG. 6 is an example of a stock number display screen ND. The stock number display screen ND is displayed, for example, at the bottom of the search results. The stock number display screen ND displays the number of students (job seekers) who meet the search criteria and have been selected by the employer as recipients of scout emails, and the stock numbers for each type of current scout email of the employer who conducted the search. Based on the stock number of scout emails, the employer can adjust the number of recipients or purchase scout emails.

[0062] <Additional functions of the search section 115> The search section 115 may execute a search for employer information such as job offers, job fairs, and alumni by job seekers. In the search for employer information, the search section 115 receives input of search conditions for the employer information database from the job seeker terminal 30, and searches for job offers, job fairs, alumni, etc. based on the search conditions.

[0063] Also, the search section 115 may display the action history of the searched job seekers when searching for job seekers by employers or when selecting recipients of scout emails. Further, the search section 115 may accept the action history of job seekers as a search condition.

[0064] <Scout creation section 116> The scout creation section 116 is configured to create a scout document (title and body) attached to the scout email. The scout creation section 116 displays a screen for receiving input of the content of the scout document from the employer terminal 20.

[0065] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a scout document creation screen SD for creating a scout document to be batch transmitted to a plurality of recipients. The scout document creation screen SD includes a title input field TF, a body input field MF, an information display field IF, a first button B1, and a second button B2. The title input field TF accepts input of the title of the scout email. The body input field MF accepts input of the body of the scout email.

[0066] In the information display column IF, the total number of job seekers to whom the scout document currently being created is to be sent (selected as the recipients) and the consumption number of scout mails consumed by the transmission of the scout document are displayed. The scout document created by the scout creation unit 116 via the scout document creation screen SD is sent to the recipients as any one of the scout mails stocked by the job offerer. The consumption number of scout mails is determined by the determination unit 117 described later.

[0067] When the first button B1 on the scout document creation screen SD is input-operated, the creation of the scout document is canceled. When the second button B2 is input-operated, the scout document is created and the transmission of the scout mail described later is executed.

[0068] <Determination unit 117> The determination unit 117 is configured to determine the type of scout mail that can be sent to the recipients who are job seekers selected by the job offerer and to determine the type of scout mail to be sent to the recipients.

[0069] When the transmission condition of the scout mail is that the attributes of the job seeker as the recipient are included in a specific attribute category, the determination unit 117 determines the type of scout mail that can be sent to the recipients by determining whether the attributes of the recipients are included in the attribute category. For example, when the recipient has the attribute of "application engineer", the determination unit 117 determines the scout mail in which the attribute category including "application engineer" (for example, "system engineer") is included as the type of scout mail that can be sent.

[0070] Also, when the recipient to be sent is a prospective graduate, the determination unit 117 determines the types of scout emails that can be sent to the prospective graduate as the recipient, and determines the types of scout emails to be sent to the prospective graduate. For example, when the recipient to be sent is a student in the "pre-screening period" (that is, having the graduation year included in the attribute classification of the "pre-screening period" as an attribute), the determination unit 117 determines the second scout email (annual scout email) in which the "pre-screening period" is included in the attribute classification of the sending conditions as the type of scout email that can be sent. Also, for example, when the recipient to be sent is a student in the "main screening period", the determination unit 117 determines the first scout email and the second scout email in which the "main screening period" is included in the attribute classification of the sending conditions as the types of scout emails that can be sent, respectively.

[0071] The determination unit 117 may determine the types of scout emails that can be sent to the recipient to be sent based on the label pre-assigned to the job seeker according to the attribute and the attribute classification according to the label. Thereby, it becomes easier to manage the types of job seekers to whom scout emails can be sent by the label. The "label" is what converts the attribute of the job seeker into a keyword, symbol, etc., and is, for example, a word, symbol, etc. representing the attribute classification including the attribute of the job seeker. For example, a job seeker having the attribute of "application engineer" is assigned a label of "system engineer" corresponding to the attribute. The label may be assigned by the labeling model of the artificial intelligence unit 120, or an arbitrary label may be assigned to each job seeker by the system administrator or the employer. The determination unit 117 determines whether the label assigned to the recipient to be sent matches the attribute classification in the sending conditions or the scout email included in the attribute classification as the scout email that can be sent to the recipient to be sent.

[0072] When using the labeling model, the determination unit 117 inputs the job seeker registration information into the labeling model and causes the labeling model to output the label to be assigned to the job seeker. The labeling model is a learning model that is trained to take the job seeker registration information as input and output a label. That is, the labeling model is a learning model that is trained using the data of the job seeker registration information and the corresponding label data as teacher data. Also, the labeling model may be a generative AI including a large language model. In this case, the determination unit 117 inputs a prompt including an instruction to output a label with the job seeker registration information as input into the labeling model and causes the labeling model to output the label. Further, in addition to the label output instruction and the job seeker registration information, the determination unit 117 may input into the labeling model a prompt in which, as samples of input and output, for example, one or more samples of job seeker registration information and one or more corresponding label samples are inserted.

[0073] When the employer has pre-purchased the first scout email and the second scout email with a higher email unit price than the first scout email, the determination unit 117 determines, as the type of scout email to be sent to the recipient, to send the first scout email when there is stock of both the first scout email and the second scout email and the recipient meets the sending conditions for both the first scout email and the second scout email. Thereby, when both the first scout email and the second scout email can be sent, it is possible to suppress the sending of the expensive second scout email.

[0074] Therefore, for example, when a single scout document is batch-transmitted to multiple recipients, as shown in FIG. 7, if there are 68 first recipients who can receive both the first scout email and the second scout email, and 50 second recipients who can receive only the second scout email, the determination unit 117 determines to send the scout document to the 68 first recipients by consuming the first scout email, and to send the scout document to the 50 second recipients by consuming the second scout email. The above-mentioned first recipients are, for example, students in this selection period, and the second recipients are, for example, students in the preliminary selection period.

[0075] When the employer has pre-purchased the first scout email and the second scout email with a higher email unit price than the first scout email, if there is no stock of the first scout email but there is stock of the second scout email, and the recipient meets the sending conditions for both the first scout email and the second scout email, it is advisable to display a warning indicating that the second scout email will be consumed. This can prevent the employer from inadvertently consuming the expensive second scout email for job seekers who can receive both the first scout email and the second scout email.

[0076] FIG. 8 is a diagram showing an example of the warning W on the scout document creation screen SD. In the example of FIG. 8, when there are 68 first recipients who can receive both the first scout email and the second scout email, and 50 second recipients who can receive only the second scout email, and there are only 65 copies of the first scout email in stock, the warning W is shown. In this case, the determination unit 117 determines to send the scout document to 65 out of the 68 first recipients by consuming the first scout email, to send the scout document to the remaining 3 first recipients by consuming the second scout email, and to send the scout document to the 50 second recipients by consuming the second scout email. The warning W displays that 3 copies of the second scout email will be sent (consumed) to the first recipients.

[0077] Also, when the total number of stocks of scout mails of types that can be sent to the recipients to be sent is insufficient for the number of recipients to be sent, the determination unit 117 may output a warning indicating that the stock of scout mails is insufficient.

[0078] When an expiration date is set for the scout mail, the determination unit 117 preferentially selects, as the scout mail to be sent to the recipients, the scout mail of the same type with a closer expiration date. For example, in the example of the scout mail management screen CD in FIG. 5, when the first scout mail is determined as the type of scout mail to be sent to the recipients, the determination unit 117 preferentially selects the first scout mail with a use date up to November 30, 2023 as the scout mail to be sent. In the example of FIG. 5, when the number of recipients to be sent is 12 or more, the determination unit 117 also selects the first scout mail with a use date up to December 31, 2023 as the scout mail to be sent.

[0079] <Transmission unit 118> The transmission unit 118 is configured to transmit the scout mail of the type determined for the recipients by the determination unit 117. Specifically, by consuming the type of scout mail determined by the determination unit 117, the scout document created by the scout creation unit 116 is transmitted to the recipients.

[0080] When the scout mail is stocked, after transmitting the scout mail, the transmission unit 118 reduces the stock of the transmitted type of scout mail. When the stock number of the scout mail determined by the determination unit 117 is insufficient, the transmission unit 118 may output a warning indicating that the stock of the scout mail is insufficient without transmitting the scout mail.

[0081] FIG. 9 is a diagram showing an example of a transmission confirmation screen MD displayed when sending a scout mail. After the creation of a scout document by the scout creation unit 116 and the determination of the type of scout mail by the determination unit 117, the transmission unit 118 causes the transmission confirmation screen MD to be displayed on the job seeker terminal 20. On the transmission confirmation screen MD, the number of people for each type of transmission target, the consumption number for each type of scout mail, and the change amount of the scout mail stock are displayed. In the example of FIG. 9, similar to the example of FIG. 8, a warning W indicating that three second scout mails are transmitted (consumed) to the first transmission target is displayed. When the third button B3 on the transmission confirmation screen MD is input-operated, the transmission of the scout mail is canceled. When the fourth button B4 is input-operated, the scout mails in the number displayed on the transmission confirmation screen MD are batch-transmitted.

[0082] FIG. 10 is a diagram showing another example of the transmission confirmation screen MD. In the example of FIG. 10, the transmission unit 118 causes the number of recipients and the stock number of the corresponding scout mails to be displayed in comparison. The example of FIG. 10A is a case where the stock numbers of the first scout mail sent to the first recipient and the second scout mail sent to the second recipient are both sufficient. In this case, no warning regarding the stock of scout mails is displayed, and the fourth button B4 for executing the transmission of scout mails is enabled for input operation. The example of FIG. 10B is a case where the stock number of the first scout mail for the first recipient is insufficient, and a part of the stock of the second scout mail is sent to the first recipient. In this case, the number of the first recipients is highlighted (for example, displayed in red), but the fourth button B4 for executing the transmission of scout mails is enabled for input operation. When the fourth button B4 is operated, the total number of the stock of the first scout mail and a part of the stock of the second scout mail (14 in the example of FIG. 10B) are sent to the first recipient. The example of FIG. 10C is a case where the stock number of the first scout mail for the first recipient is insufficient, and furthermore, the stock of the second scout mail that can be sent to the first recipient is also insufficient. In this case, a warning W indicating that the total number of the stock of scout mails is insufficient is displayed on the transmission confirmation screen MD. Also, the fourth button B4 for executing the transmission of scout mails is disabled for input operation.

[0083] <Notification unit 119> The notification unit 119 is configured to notify the job seeker of the action received by the reception unit 112. The job seekers (acquirers) who receive the notification include the recruitment staff, alumni, etc. In particular, the alumni visit request is notified to the alumni of the requested destination. The notification unit 119 transmits a notification including the notification content set by the setting unit 113 to the job seeker terminal 20.

[0084] <Artificial intelligence unit 120> The artificial intelligence unit 120 is configured to receive inputs from each functional unit and return the instructed outputs. Note that the artificial intelligence used by the server device 10 in each functional unit may be common or may be individually prepared for each functional unit.

[0085] The artificial intelligence unit 120 is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) equipped with language models such as Transformers (including GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer, including GPT-1, GPT-2, GPT-3), BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), BART (Bidirectional and Auto-regressive Transformer)), and Recurrent Neural Network (RNN), and may include generative AI.

[0086] The language model is an example of a learning model by a machine learning algorithm. Specific algorithms for machine learning include the nearest neighbor method, naive Bayes method, decision tree, support vector machine, deep learning (deep neural network) using a neural network, etc. The artificial intelligence unit 120 can appropriately apply the above algorithms.

[0087] The artificial intelligence unit 120 may have a trained model constructed by a learning method such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or semi-supervised learning. In supervised learning, machine learning is performed using teacher data (learning data). The teacher data is composed of a pair of input data for learning and output data (correct data). Also, the language model may be a general-purpose model that can be used not only for a specific task but also for a wide range of tasks.

[0088] The artificial intelligence unit 120 may be a general-purpose natural language processing learning model such as a large language model (LLM) that has learned a vast amount of data as artificial intelligence. Such a general-purpose learning model includes language models that can handle various tasks without fine-tuning through One-shot Learning, Few-shot Learning, etc. Also, the general-purpose learning model may be configured to handle various tasks even through Zero-shot Learning. The artificial intelligence used in each functional unit of the control unit 11 may be separate learning models respectively, or a common general-purpose learning model.

[0089] The learning model (such as the labeling model, etc., the learning model used in each functional unit) included in the artificial intelligence unit 120 is capable of performing additional learning. For example, each time new job seeker information is registered, the artificial intelligence unit 120 may use these as new teacher data to perform additional learning for fine-tuning. Thereby, the accuracy of the expected value information output from the learning model is improved.

[0090] <Display unit> The display unit 211 of the employer terminal 20 and the display unit 311 of the job seeker terminal 30 each display the screen indicated by the screen data transmitted from the server device 10.

[0091] <Operation reception unit> The operation reception unit 212 of the employer terminal 20 receives operations by the user (employer) using the employer terminal 20. The operation reception unit 312 of the job seeker terminal 30 receives operations by the user (job seeker) using the job seeker terminal 30.

[0092] 3. Information processing method In this section, the information processing method of the server device 10 will be described. This information processing method is executed by a computer for each step by each part of the server device 10.

[0093] This information processing method includes a setting step of setting a plurality of types of scout mails each with a set transmission condition, a charging step of accepting advance purchases for each type of scout mail to increase the stock for each type of scout mail of the sender of the scout mail, a determining step of determining the types of scout mails that can be sent to a selected job seeker who is the transmission target and determining the types of scout mails to be sent to the transmission target, and a transmission step of sending the determined type of scout mail to the transmission target and reducing the stock of the sent type of scout mail after the scout mail is sent.

[0094] FIG. 11 is an activity diagram showing the flow of information processing (scout mail transmission processing) executed by the employment support system 1. Hereinafter, the information processing will be described along each activity of this activity diagram.

[0095] The scout mail transmission processing starts from the purchase of scout mails by the employer. The employer pre-purchases scout mails with set transmission conditions on the employer terminal 20 (activity A101). Next, the employer searches for job seekers who are the transmission targets of the scout mails on the employer terminal 20 (activity A102). After the search for job seekers, the employer selects the transmission target of the scout mails on the employer terminal 20 (activity A103).

[0096] The server device 10 accepts the selection of the transmission target and determines the types of scout mails to be sent to the transmission target (activity A104). Subsequently, the employer creates the content of the scout mails (scout documents) on the employer terminal 20 (activity A105). After creating the scout documents, the employer instructs the transmission of the scout mails on the employer terminal 20 (activity A106).

[0097] The server device 10 receives an instruction to send a scout mail and sends the determined type of scout mail to the recipient (Activity A107). After sending the scout mail, the server device 10 reduces the stock of the sent scout mail (Activity A108).

[0098] 4. Operation Summarizing the operation of this embodiment, it is as follows. That is, by setting scout mails with different transmission conditions (transmissible targets or transmissible times), it is possible to grasp and control the distribution numbers of scout mails distinguished by the attributes of job seekers or the transmission times of scout mails. Therefore, the matching accuracy of scout mails for job seekers can be improved.
