Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to an interview system that conducts interviews using videos.

Background Art

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a job applicant management system. The job applicant management system includes a job applicant management server and a user terminal connected to the job applicant management server via a communication network. The job applicant management server is a server that manages an online job information site. A user who is a job applicant can browse the job information of companies by accessing the job information site from their own user terminal.

[0003] The job applicant management server includes a control device having an interview condition acquisition function, a job applicant information acquisition function, an interview approval determination function, an interview appointment notice function, an interview date and time determination function, a job information presentation function, and an application reception function, and an external storage device. An interview appointment condition management table, a job applicant information management table, and an interview schedule management table are implemented in the external storage device.

[0004] The interview appointment condition management table stores the interview appointment conditions pre-registered by each company, etc., which are job applicants. The job applicant information management table stores the profile information pre-registered by the user. The interview schedule management table stores the information on the interviewable dates and times pre-registered by the job applicant.

[0005] The user accesses the job information site from their own user terminal and logs in with their own account. A job information list screen including a list of information such as each company conducting recruitment, the recruitment position, the work location, and the treatment is displayed on the display of the user terminal. When the user performs an operation to select a company from the list, the job applicant management server determines whether the user meets the interview appointment conditions of the company.

[0006] When it is determined that the user meets the interview appointment conditions, a job applicant screen for the interview appointee is displayed on the user terminal. On the job applicant screen for the interview appointee, a message informing that the user can proceed to the interview without document screening, buttons for transitioning to a screen for selecting the interview date and time, etc. are displayed. When the user operates the button, an interview schedule selection screen is displayed.

[0007] On the interview schedule selection screen, information on the date and time when the interview can be accepted, which is registered in the interview schedule management table, is displayed. Specifically, the available date and time excluding the date and time for which the interview schedule has already been confirmed from among the date and time when the interview is possible registered in advance by the company is displayed. When the user operates the selection button for the desired date and time from among the selectable date and time, an application completion screen is displayed. On the application completion screen, details such as confirmation of the selected interview date and time are displayed.

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0009] In the job applicant management system described above, it is determined whether the user meets the interview appointment conditions, and when it is determined that the user meets the interview appointment conditions, a message informing that the user can proceed to the interview without document screening is displayed. In this case, the user can select the interview date and time on the interview schedule selection screen.

[0010] By the way, in an interview system that conducts online interviews, there is a need for applicants to start the interview as soon as possible after applying. In this case, the applicant can efficiently receive the online interview, and the interviewer who conducts the online interview with the applicant can also efficiently conduct the online interview. Therefore, it is required that the online interview can be started as soon as possible after the application is made.

[0011] The present disclosure aims to provide an interview system capable of starting an online interview as soon as possible after application.

Means for Solving the Problem

[0012] The interview system according to the present disclosure includes: (1) a server, an applicant terminal that can communicate with the server and is used by an applicant, an interviewer terminal that can communicate with the server and is used by an interviewer who conducts an interview with the applicant, and a recruiter terminal that can communicate with the server and is used by a recruiter. It is an interview system in which an interviewer conducts an interview with an applicant in response to a request from a recruiter. The server has a function of receiving an application by an applicant from the applicant terminal, a function of generating an interview request document for the applicant terminal, a function of transmitting the interview request document to the applicant terminal, a function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal, a function of receiving the interview date and time selected by the applicant from the candidate interview dates and times, a function of notifying the interviewer terminal of the interview date and time, a function of generating a video of the interview of the applicant and the interviewer conducted at the date and time, and a function of transmitting the video to the recruiter. Before the interview is conducted, the server has a function of receiving a request from the recruiter terminal for the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself. The applicant terminal has a function of receiving the interview request document from the server, a function of allowing the applicant to select the interview date and time from the candidate interview dates and times, a function of receiving the acceptance or rejection by the recruiter, and a function of applying to the recruiter through an external site. In the function of the server for receiving an application, an application by an applicant is received via an external site. In the function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal, a plurality of time zones in which the interviewer is available and the time intervals are fixed are displayed, and the first time zone among the plurality of time zones is the next time zone after the time zone including the time when the application by the applicant was received. In the function of receiving the interview date and time, it is possible to select the next time zone after the time zone including the time when the application was received. After the function of receiving the request is executed, the recruiter conducts the interview himself / herself. That is, after the function of receiving the request to the interviewer is executed, the recruiter can replace the interview himself / herself.

[0013] This interview system includes a server, an applicant terminal used by an applicant, and an interviewer terminal used by an interviewer, and conducts an interview in response to a request from a recruiter. The server has a function of generating an interview request document for the applicant terminal, a function of transmitting the interview request document to the applicant terminal, and a function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal. Since the interview request document is transmitted to the applicant terminal and the candidate interview dates and times are displayed, the process from application to selection of the interview date and time can be made smooth. The server has a function of accepting the interview date and time selected by the applicant from the above candidate dates and times, and a function of notifying the interviewer terminal of the interview date and time. By setting the candidate interview dates and times as convenient times for the interviewer, convenient times for the interviewer are selected, so the load on the interviewer can be reduced. Furthermore, when the server accepts the interview date and time from the applicant terminal, the interview date and time is notified to the interviewer terminal. Therefore, the interview date and time is automatically notified without the interviewer having to adjust the interview date and time himself / herself, so the load on the interviewer can also be reduced in this regard. The server has a function of generating an interview video by the applicant and the interviewer, and a function of transmitting the generated video to the recruiter. Since the recruiter can obtain the interview video by the applicant and the interviewer as long as a request is made, the load on the recruiter can be reduced. The applicant terminal has a function of applying to the recruiter through an external site, and the server's application acceptance function accepts the applicant's application through the external site. That is, since the server cooperates with the external site to accept the applicant's application, the load on the server can be reduced and the applicant's information can be obtained efficiently. Furthermore, in the function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal, a plurality of time zones with a fixed time interval are displayed. The first time zone among the plurality of time zones is the time zone next to the time zone including the time when the application was received, and the applicant terminal can select the next time zone. Therefore, the applicant can receive the interview in the next time zone immediately after applying, so the online interview can be started as soon as possible. Therefore, the applicant can efficiently receive the online interview, and the interviewer can also efficiently conduct the online interview. Additionally, before the interview is conducted, the server receives a request from the recruiter terminal for the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself.Therefore, when the recruiter wants to conduct an interview with the applicant by themselves, they can do so.

[0014] (2) In the above (1), in the function of generating a video, the recruiter may generate a video of the interview they conducted themselves. In this case, the recruiter can review the video with the applicant they interviewed later to evaluate the applicant.

[0015] (3) In the above (2), the interview system may be communicable with the server and further include a supervisor's terminal used by the recruiter's supervisor. The supervisor's terminal may have a function of displaying the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter themselves. In this case, since the recruiter's supervisor can view the video of the recruiter's interview, the supervisor can grasp whether the recruiter is conducting the interview appropriately.

[0016] (4) In any of the above (1) to (3), the function of accepting a request may be executable only when it is before a certain time before the interview date and time. In this case, it is possible to suppress the replacement of the interviewer with the recruiter after a certain time before the interview date and time. That is, it is possible to suppress a sudden replacement of the interviewer immediately before the interview.

[0017] (5) In any of the above (1) to (4), after the function of accepting a request is executed, the replacement of the person conducting the interview from the recruiter to the interviewer may be restricted. In this case, it is possible to prohibit returning the person conducting the interview to the interviewer again after they have once been replaced by the recruiter.

[0018] (6) In any of the above (1) to (5), the server may have a function of recording the number of times the function of accepting a request is executed. In this case, it is possible to record the number of times the person conducting the interview has been replaced by the recruiter.

[0019] (7) In any of the above (1) to (6), the server may have a function of recording the recording time of the interview video of the interviewer and the interview video conducted by the applicant himself / herself. In this case, since the recording time of the interview video can be grasped, it is possible to call attention to those whose interview time is too long, etc. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the capacity of the interview video data and reduce the cost borne by the server.

Embodiments for Carrying Out the Invention

[0022] Hereinafter, embodiments of the interview system according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are denoted by the same reference numerals, and duplicate descriptions are appropriately omitted. Also, the drawings are drawn with some exaggeration or simplification for ease of understanding, and the description of the screen layout and the like is not limited to that shown in the drawings. That is, the screen layout and the like used in the interview system are not limited to the examples described later and can be changed as appropriate.

[0023] An interview system according to an embodiment includes either a human resources recruitment system or a recruitment screening system for hiring human resources, and enables efficient interviewing of applicants. In the interview system, for example, an applicant and an interviewer conduct an interview using a smartphone, a personal computer, or a mobile terminal without selecting time and place, and a recruiter such as a company evaluates the applicant using the video of the interview.

[0024] Conventionally, there has been known a recruitment screening system in which an applicant takes a self-shot video for self-promotion or the like, and a recruiter receives and evaluates the video taken by the applicant. However, in this recruitment screening system, since the applicant unilaterally creates a video and sends it to the recruiter, there may be a problem that the recruiter cannot see the natural conversation or the like of the applicant and it is difficult to judge whether to accept or reject the applicant.

[0025] Conventionally, recruiters such as companies have conducted interviews with applicants while having other tasks besides recruitment screening. However, for an interview with an applicant, it is necessary to secure time for the interview and it takes time for interview preparation, etc., so there is a current situation where the recruiter cannot concentrate on the original work. For example, when the recruiter is the manager of a restaurant, in addition to the original work of operating the store, time etc. must be spent on the interview, so there is a current situation where the burden on the recruiter is large.

[0026] Therefore, in an interview system according to an embodiment, in response to a request from a recruiter, an interviewer belonging to an organization different from the recruiter conducts an interview with the applicant online, and the recruiter receives the video of the interview. Thus, since the recruiter can receive the interview video of the applicant with only a request and evaluate the applicant, the burden on the recruiter can be significantly reduced.

[0027] More specifically, the recruiter can receive the video of the applicant who conducts an interview with the interviewer just by making a request, so that the labor of recruitment can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, since the recruiter can receive the video of the applicant who conducts an interview with the interviewer, the recruiter can grasp the interactive conversation between the applicant and the interviewer, that is, the appearance of the applicant who is communicating bidirectionally. As a result, the recruiter can grasp the expression, speech style, and topic characteristics of the applicant when talking to others, so that the recruiter can judge the acceptance or rejection of the applicant with higher accuracy.

[0028] The recruiter can fast forward or skip the video according to the interview situation of the applicant, so that the recruiter can quickly judge the acceptance or rejection of the applicant. That is, the recruiter can fast forward or skip the video of the applicant that they do not want to watch, and can watch the video of the applicant that they want to watch carefully. As a result, the time required to judge the acceptance or rejection of the applicant can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, the burden on the applicant and the interviewer can also be reduced by conducting an online interview.

[0029] In the present disclosure, the "applicant" refers to a person who applies for the job opening of the recruiter. For example, the applicant is a person who applies for a part-time job, a contract employee, or a regular employee. The "interviewer" is a person who conducts an online interview with the applicant. For example, the "interviewer" is a person different from the recruiter and is a person arranged to conduct an interview with the applicant. Also, the "interviewer" may be a person entrusted with the interview with the applicant.

[0030] By the way, in an interview, an interview in an unfavorable manner for the applicant, such as a stress interview, may be conducted, and there is room for improvement in terms of the quality of the interview. Therefore, the interview system according to the following embodiment includes an administrative office that manages interviewers, and the administrative office grasps the evaluation of the interviewers. The evaluation of the interviewer is notified to the interviewer terminal described later. For example, when a low evaluation is given to the interviewer by the applicant, the administrative office notifies the interviewer that the low evaluation has been made and guides the interviewer as necessary. Therefore, the quality of the interview by the interviewer can be improved.

[0031] The "recruiter" is a person or organization that recruits applicants, and may be, for example, an entity such as a company conducting business. The "recruiter" may be not only a general company, but also an individual enterprise or office. The "recruiter" may be a person who evaluates applicants, including employment responsible persons such as the store manager of a restaurant, and veteran part-time workers designated by the employment responsible person. The "recruiter" may be a person who determines whether to employ an applicant (hire or not), and includes, for example, the store manager, manager, head office employee, officer, and operator of a restaurant. The "supervisor" is the supervisor of the recruiter. The "supervisor" may be, for example, a supervisor who manages multiple stores, an area manager, a head office employee, an officer, or an operator.

[0032] FIG. 1 is a block diagram of the interview system 1 exemplified in the present embodiment. For example, the interview system 1 is a program such as an application executed on an information terminal. The interview system 1 may be executed, for example, on a server capable of communicating with the information terminal. The "information terminal" is, for example, a mobile terminal. The "mobile terminal" refers to a portable information terminal such as a mobile phone including a smartphone, a tablet, or a notebook computer. The "information terminal" may be a terminal other than a mobile terminal, and may be, for example, a personal computer.

[0033] As an example, the "information terminal" includes a processor (e.g., CPU) that executes an operating system and software (application), a main memory unit composed of ROM and RAM, an auxiliary memory unit composed of a flash memory, etc., a communication control unit composed of a wireless communication module, etc., an input device, and an output device such as a display. However, the configuration of the "information terminal" is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate.

[0034] Each functional element of the "information terminal" is realized by causing a processor or a storage unit (e.g., the main storage unit or the auxiliary storage unit described above) to load a predetermined software and execute the software. The processor operates the communication control unit, the input device, or the output device described above according to the software, and reads and writes data in the storage unit. The data or database used in the processing of the "information terminal" is stored in the storage unit.

[0035] The interview system 1 may be a distributed processing system composed of a plurality of computers, or may be a client-server system or a cloud system. The interview system 1 may be provided with an interview program. The interview system 1 according to the present embodiment includes, for example, a main module, a data acquisition module, a determination module, and an output module.

[0036] Each functional element of the interview system 1 functions by executing the data acquisition module, the determination module, and the output module. The interview system 1 may be provided, for example, after being fixedly recorded on a tangible storage medium such as a CD-ROM, a DVD-ROM, or a semiconductor memory. Further, the interview program may be provided via a communication network as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

[0037] The interview system 1 includes, for example, a server 10. As an example, the server 10 is communicable with a candidate terminal T1 which is an information terminal of a candidate, an interviewer terminal T2 which is an information terminal of an interviewer, a recruiter terminal T3 which is a terminal of a recruiter, an administrative office terminal T4 which is an information terminal of an administrative office, and a supervisor terminal T5 which is a terminal used by a supervisor of the recruiter, respectively. The server 10 includes, as an example, a processor (e.g., a CPU) that executes an operating system, application programs, etc., a main memory unit composed of a ROM and a RAM, an auxiliary storage unit composed of a hard disk, a flash memory, etc., a communication control unit composed of a network card or a wireless communication module, an input device such as a keyboard or a mouse, and an output device such as a monitor. However, the configuration of the server 10 is not limited to the above and can be changed as appropriate.

[0038] Each functional element of the server 10 is realized by causing the processor or the main memory unit to load a predetermined software and execute the software. The processor operates the communication control unit, the input device, or the output device described above according to the software, and reads and writes data in the main memory unit or the auxiliary storage unit. Data or databases necessary for the processing of the server 10 are stored in the main memory unit or the auxiliary storage unit.

[0039] In the present embodiment, the server 10 includes a storage unit 31 that stores received information, and a display control unit 32 that controls a screen to be displayed on each of the candidate terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, the recruiter terminal T3, and the administrative office terminal T4. Each screen displayed on each of the candidate terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, the recruiter terminal T3, and the administrative office terminal T4 is controlled by, for example, the display control unit 32.

[0040] The interview system 1 is a system that conducts an interview between an applicant and an interviewer in response to a request from a recruiter. For example, the interview system 1 (the server 10 as an example) has, as functional components, an application reception unit 11, an applicant information registration unit 12, an interview request document generation unit 13, an interview request notification unit 14, an interview date and time determination unit 15, an interviewer determination unit 16, an interview video generation unit 17, an interview video transmission unit 18, an acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19, an employment contract unit 20, an interviewer evaluation unit 21, an interview replacement unit 22, a count recording unit 23, and a recording time recording unit 24.

[0041] The application reception unit 11 has a function of receiving an application from an applicant via the applicant terminal T1. As shown as an example in FIG. 2, the application reception unit 11 receives an application from an applicant via the applicant terminal T1 through the external site G. That is, the applicant terminal T1 has a function of causing the applicant to make an application through the external site G.

[0042] The external site G is, for example, a job search site. A job search site refers to a site that provides job information online and information on job hunting and job transfer activities. A job search site is, for example, a job media. A job media is a medium that mediates between applicants and companies for job recruitment.

[0043] When an applicant makes an application, the external site G is displayed on the applicant terminal T1. The external site G is, as an example, a site displayed by a server outside the interview system 1. For example, the external site G is a site constructed by a company different from the company that constructed the interview system 1.

[0044] The external site G may be the site of the company to which the recruiter belongs. That is, the external site G may be the company's own site. The external site G is, as an example, a job screen D1 displayed on the applicant terminal T1. On the job screen D1, for example, image information D11 of the work location, a map D12 of the work location, a message D13 from the recruiter, recruiter information D14, work conditions D15, job content D16, benefits D17, and an interview application button D18 are displayed.

[0045] In the interview system 1 according to this embodiment, it is possible to receive an interview on the same day by pressing the interview application button D18. For example, the image information D11 includes photos and videos of the work location, and the recruiter information D14 includes the name and title of the hiring manager who is the recruiter. The working conditions D15 include, for example, salary, work location, working period, and working hours.

[0046] For example, when the interview application button D18 is pressed on the job offer screen D1 displayed on the applicant's terminal T1, as shown in FIG. 3, the applicant basic information input screen D2 is displayed on the applicant's terminal T1. In this embodiment, "pressing" includes tapping or clicking a button, link, etc. displayed on the screen.

[0047] The applicant basic information input screen D2 displays, for example, the organization name D21, the applicant name input section D22, the applicant kana input section D23, the applicant gender input section D24, the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, the applicant phone number input section D28, and the next button D27. The organization name D21 may be an organization name input section where the organization (such as a store or company) for which the application is made is selected. Note that the applicant basic information input screen D2 does not necessarily have to display all of the organization name D21, the applicant name input section D22, the applicant kana input section D23, the applicant gender input section D24, the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, and the next button 27. For example, it may only display the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, the applicant phone number input section D28, and the next button D27.

[0048] For example, the application reception unit 11 receives the application by the applicant when the applicant's information is input into the applicant name input section D22, the applicant kana input section D23, the applicant gender input section D24, the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, and the applicant phone number input section D28 and the next button D27 is pressed.

[0049] For example, when the applicant's information is input (for example, when the Next button D27 is pressed), a notification indicating that the information has been input into the interview system 1 may be sent. In this case, after receiving the notification, the application notification reception unit 11 may access the external site G and receive the applicant's information from the external site G. As a specific example, the application notification reception unit 11 may log in to the management screen of the external site G and acquire the applicant's information.

[0050] For example, when the applicant's information is input, the applicant's information may be stored in an ATS (Applicant Tracking System) outside the interview system 1. In this case, the applicant information registration unit 12 fetches the applicant's information from the ATS and stores it in the storage unit 31.

[0051] As shown in FIG. 4, for example, the applicant information registration unit 12 stores the applicant's information in the storage unit 31 as table data D29. The table data D29 has, for example, an external site column K1, an application date and time column K2, a name column K3, and an email address column K4.

[0052] In the table data D29, the applicant's information input on the applicant basic information input screen D2 is input as record data. For example, the type of the external site G displayed on the applicant terminal T1 is input into the external site column K1, and the date and time when the applicant applied (for example, the date and time when the Next button D27 was pressed) is input into the application date and time column K2.

[0053] Then, the name of the applicant input into the applicant name input unit D22 is input into the name column K3, and the email address of the applicant input into the applicant email address input unit D26 is input into the email address column K4. For example, in the table data D29, the applicant's information is automatically input by the applicant information registration unit 12 when the applicant applies. However, the input of the applicant's information into the table data D29 may also be performed manually.

[0054] The interview request document generation unit 13 has a function of generating an interview request document for the applicant terminal T1. FIG. 5 shows an example of an interview request document M generated by the interview request document generation unit 13. The interview request document M is a document generated electromagnetically. As an example, the interview request document M is the text of an email.

[0055] The interview request document M includes the applicant's name M1, a greeting M2, an interview date and time selection request sentence M3, and a remarks sentence M4. As the applicant's name M1, the name of the applicant input to the applicant name input unit D22 is displayed. The greeting M2 has, for example, the name of the organization (store name as an example) to which the recruiter belongs and a stereotypical greeting.

[0056] For example, the interview date and time selection request sentence M3 has a URL indicating a link to a site that displays the candidate dates and times of the interview between the applicant and the interviewer, and a message asking to select the interview date and time from the candidate dates and times. The remarks sentence M4 has, for example, how to proceed with the future interview, a message to send the URL of the online interview, and precautions.

[0057] The interview request notification unit 14 has a function of sending the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1. The applicant terminal T1 has a function of receiving the interview request document M from the server 10. For example, the interview request notification unit 14 sends the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1 as the body of an email. Since the interview date and time selection request sentence M3 is described in the interview request document M, the applicant who has received the interview request document M can understand that the applicant only needs to adjust the interview date and time from the interview date and time selection request sentence M3.

[0058] The interview date and time determination unit 15 has a function of displaying candidate dates and times for the interview on the applicant terminal T1. As shown in FIG. 6, on the applicant terminal T1, for example, the date and time in the case of conducting the interview immediately is displayed on the interview available date and time display unit D32. "Conduct the interview immediately" indicates a function that allows the applicant to receive the interview as soon as possible.

[0059] By the way, among the applicants applying for job offers, there is a need to have an interview as soon as possible after applying. However, in reality, it is difficult to have an interview on the day of application, and there is a current situation where the above needs of the applicants cannot be met. In contrast, in the interview system 1 according to the present embodiment, it is possible to have an interview as soon as a few minutes after applying. Therefore, in the interview system 1, since the applicant can have an interview on the day of application, the above needs can be satisfied.

[0060] The interview available date and time display unit D32 is displayed on the applicant terminal T1, for example, in a manner included in the interview date and time adjustment screen D3. However, only the interview available date and time display unit D32 may be displayed on the applicant terminal T1. Thus, the layouts of the interview date and time adjustment screen D3 and the interview available date and time display unit D32 are not particularly limited.

[0061] For example, on the interview available date and time display unit D32, a plurality of time zones during which the interviewer is available and the time intervals are fixed are displayed. A "time zone" indicates a time zone (a fixed time) between a certain time and a certain time, for example, a fixed time from the interview start time to the interview end time. A "time interval" indicates the time zone (time frame) during which the interview is conducted, for example, the longest assumed interview time. In the example of FIG. 6, the time zone and the time interval are 30 minutes. However, the time zone and the time interval may be 30 minutes or less (as an example, 20 minutes) and can be changed as appropriate.

[0062] Among the plurality of time zones displayed on the interview available date and time display unit D32, the first time zone is the time zone next to the time zone including the time when the application by the applicant is received. The "time when the application is received" is, for example, the time when accessing a screen (as an example, the interview date and time adjustment screen D3) that displays the candidate date and time of the interview. FIG. 6 shows an example where the applicant applies between 12:30 and 13:00 on Sunday, August 21 (as an example, 12:45), and the "time zone including the time when the application by the applicant is received" is from 12:30 to 13:00 on Sunday, August 21.

[0063] And since the "time zone following the time zone including the time when the application by the applicant was received" is from 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21, the time zone from 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21 is displayed first (for example, at the top) on the interview available date and time display section D32. Therefore, an applicant who applied from 12:30 to 13:00 on Sunday, August 21 (for example, 12:45 on Sunday, August 21) can receive an interview starting at 13:00.

[0064] That is, the applicant can select the time zone following the time zone including the time when the application was received as the interview time zone. In the example of FIG. 6, as time zones after 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21, a plurality of time zones are displayed at regular time intervals such as from 13:30 to 14:00 on the same day, from 14:00 to 14:30 on the same day...

[0065] For example, the interview date and time determination section 15 displays the interview date and time adjustment screen D3 including the above-mentioned interview available date and time display section D32 on the applicant terminal T1. As an example, the interview date and time adjustment screen D3 includes an interview available date and time list D31, an interview available date and time display section D32, a future interview reservation button D33, and a confirmation button D34.

[0066] For example, the interview available date and time list D31 displays a time zone D35 and an interview available time zone D36. Different dates and times are displayed in the time zone D35 according to the screen operation of the applicant, and the date and time displayed in the time zone D35 can be changed by the operation. The interview available time zone D36 indicates the time zone when the interviewer is available for an interview.

[0067] The interviewer belongs to, for example, a company different from the recruiter. The interviewer does not necessarily need to know which recruiter the applicant is trying to have an interview with. For example, a plurality of interviewers are registered in the company. As an example, 10 or more and 1000 or less interviewers are registered in the company. For example, the company has an administrative office, and the administrative office manages a plurality of interviewers.

[0068] The interviewer may be an employee belonging to the company. As an example, the interviewer may be an employee hired for a side job. In this case, the person hired as the interviewer can effectively utilize their own time or experience, etc. as a side job. Also, the interviewer may be the business consignment destination to which the interview is entrusted. That is, an interviewer as the business consignment destination may be matched to the applicant. The business consignment destination may be a business company or an individual business owner.

[0069] For example, the interview available time zone D36 is displayed in a color different from the time zones other than the interview available time zone D36 of the time zone D35. In FIG. 6, as an example, the interview available time zone D36 is indicated by hatching. As an example, a plurality of interviewers are secured in advance, and the interview available time zone D36 indicates the time zone in which at least one of the plurality of interviewers is available for the interview.

[0070] The applicant terminal T1 has a function of allowing the applicant to select the interview date and time from the candidate date and time for the interview. The applicant may select an interview available date and time from the aforementioned interview available date and time display section D32, or may select an interview available date and time from the interview available time zone D36. For example, when the applicant selects a time zone from the interview available time zone D36, the time zone selected by the applicant is displayed in a color different from the other time zones (time zones not selected by the applicant) of the interview available time zone D36. In FIG. 6, as an example, the time zone selected by the applicant is indicated by darker hatching than the other time zones of the interview available time zone D36.

[0071] The later interview reservation button D33 is a button that is pressed, for example, when there is no available interview time in the interview available date and time display section D32. When the later interview reservation button D33 is pressed, for example, the time zone of the day following the day originally displayed in the interview available date and time display section D32 is displayed. The confirmation button D34 is a button for determining the date and time of the interview. For example, when the applicant selects the interview date and time from the interview available date and time display section D32 or the interview available time zone D36 and the confirmation button D34 is pressed by the applicant, the interview date and time determination unit 15 determines the interview date and time between the applicant and the interviewer. In this way, in the interview date and time determination unit 15, the applicant can easily determine the interview date and time with the interviewer.

[0072] The interview date and time determination unit 15 has a function of accepting the interview date and time selected by the applicant from the candidate interview date and times. For example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 accepts the determined interview date and time when the confirmation button D34 is pressed in a state where the applicant has selected the interview date and time from the interview available date and time display section D32 or the interview available time zone D36.

[0073] For example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 may be an external tool used as the interview system 1. In this way, when the interview date and time determination unit 15 is an external tool, the functions to be implemented in the interview system 1 can be simplified. However, the interview date and time determination unit 15 does not have to be an external tool.

[0074] For example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 has a function of notifying the applicant terminal T1 of the interview date and time. As shown in FIG. 7, the interviewer determination unit 16 may display an interview date and time confirmation screen D5 indicating the determined interview date and time on the interviewer terminal T2. For example, the interview date and time confirmation screen D5 is linked to the calendar function of the interviewer terminal T2. As an example, the interviewer determination unit 16 registers the determined interview date and time in the calendar of the interviewer terminal T2 of the interviewer. The registration of the date and time in the calendar may be performed by automatic registration.

[0075] The interviewer determination unit 16 has a function of determining an interviewer who conducts an interview with the applicant. The interviewer determination unit 16 determines an interviewer who conducts an interview with the applicant from a plurality of interviewers. The interviewer determination unit 16 determines, for example, an interviewer who is well-matched with the company to which the applicant has applied. The determination of the interviewer by the interviewer determination unit 16 will be described in detail later. For example, after the interviewer is determined by the interviewer determination unit 16, the interview date and time determination unit 15 may notify the interviewer's terminal T2 of the interview date and time. In this way, the interviewer's terminal T2 receives the interview date and time from the server 10.

[0076] As an example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 may notify all the interviewer terminals T2 of the interviewers whose selected date and time among the plurality of interviewers is available of that date and time. Then, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines one interviewer who conducts an interview with the applicant. The interviewer determination unit 16 automatically determines, for example, one interviewer who conducts an interview with the applicant. However, the interviewer determination unit 16 may determine the interviewer by a method other than automatic.

[0077] For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 registers the interview date and time in the determined interviewer's calendar and displays an interview date and time confirmation screen D5 on the interviewer's terminal T2. The interview date and time confirmation screen D5 has, for example, an interview date and time D51, a text D52 indicating that an interview is requested, an interview guidance link D53 for the applicant, and applicant information D54.

[0078] The interview guidance link D53 includes the URL of the online interview with the applicant to be held at the interview date and time D51. The interviewer can conduct an online interview with the applicant by clicking the interview guidance link D53. The applicant information D54 includes, for example, the applicant's name, the applicant's email address, and the applicant's phone number. In this case, it is possible to contact the applicant from the interviewer when it becomes necessary to suddenly change the date and time. However, the information displayed in the applicant information D54 is not limited to the above example.

[0079] For example, when the interview date and time are determined, as shown in Fig. 8(a), the interview scheduling section 15 displays an interview guidance screen D4 on the applicant's terminal T1. The interview guidance screen D4 has, as an example, an interview participation button D41, an interview guidance link D42, a countdown D43 until the interview start time, an interview start time D44, and an interviewer screen D45.

[0080] The interview participation button D41 contains the URL for the online interview with the interviewer to be held at the interview start time D44. However, the interview participation button D41 cannot be pressed until a certain time (e.g., 3 minutes) before the interview start time D44. The interview guidance link D42 is a link to the interview guidance website. The interview guidance website describes how to conduct the interview starting from the interview start time D44.

[0081] For example, the server 10 has a function of displaying the time until the interview starts on the applicant's terminal T1. The time until the interview starts is displayed, for example, as the countdown D43. As an example, the countdown D43 displays the time until the interview start time in minutes. However, the countdown D43 may display the time until the interview start time in minutes and seconds. In this case, the applicant can easily and in detail grasp the time until the interview start time.

[0082] The interview start time D44 indicates the interview start time determined by the interview scheduling section 15. The interviewer screen D45 includes, for example, an icon showing the face of the interviewer. This icon can be changed by the interviewer, for example. As an example, the interviewer screen D45 may include a message stating that the interviewer is in charge, the above icon, and the name of the interviewer. In this case, the applicant can easily grasp the name of the interviewer and the like by looking at the interviewer screen D45.

[0083] As shown in FIG. 8(b), when a certain period of time before the interview start time D44 has passed, the interview participation button D41 changes to an interview participation button D47 that can be pressed. The applicant can participate in an online interview with the interviewer by pressing this interview participation button D47. Also, when a certain period of time before the interview start time D44 has passed, the display on the interviewer screen D45 may change. As an example, a message indicating that the interviewer is in charge of the interview on the interviewer screen D45 changes to a message indicating that the interviewer is waiting.

[0084] The online interview between the applicant and the interviewer starts at the interview start time D44. When the applicant clicks the above-described interview participation button D47, the online interview between the applicant and the interviewer starts. As shown in FIG. 9, the interview video generation unit 17 displays an interview video D6 (video of the interview) on each of the applicant terminal T1 and the interviewer terminal T2 and records the interview video D6. Thereby, the applicant X and the interviewer Y can conduct an interview using a mobile terminal.

[0085] The interview video generation unit 17 generates videos of the interviews of the applicant X and the interviewer Y. As an example, in the interview video D6 displayed on the applicant terminal T1, the image of the interviewer Y may be displayed larger than the image of the applicant X, and in the interview video D6 displayed on the interviewer terminal T2, the image of the applicant X may be displayed larger than the image of the interviewer Y. In this case, the applicant X can clearly see the face of the interviewer Y, and the interviewer Y can clearly see the face of the applicant X.

[0086] As an example, the interview video D6 has a mute button D61, a participant button D62, a stop button D63, a screen sharing button D64, and a detail button D65. When the mute button D61 is pressed, no sound is output to the other party of the interview. When the participant button D62 is pressed, a list of interview participants is displayed. The interview participants are, for example, one applicant X and one interviewer Y.

[0087] For example, when the screen sharing button D64 is pressed, the screen displayed on the applicant terminal T1 or the screen displayed on the interviewer terminal T2 is shared between the applicant X and the interviewer Y. For example, when the detail button D65 is pressed, a detailed setting screen for the video (as an example, a setting screen for the camera and the speaker) is displayed.

[0088] For example, as shown in FIG. 10, an interview recording screen D7 may be displayed on the interviewer terminal T2 when an interview is being conducted. The interviewer terminal T2 has a function of receiving the recording of the interview with the applicant X. For example, the interviewer Y records the interview with the applicant X on the interview recording screen D7. As an example, the interview recording screen D7 has a name D71 of the interviewer Y, a question D72 for the applicant X, and a response column D73 where the applicant X's response to the question can be input. For example, the interview video generation unit 17 has a function of receiving the applicant X's response input to the response column D73.

[0089] The name D71 may be capable of having the name of the interviewer Y inputted, or may be automatically inputted in advance before the interview. The interview recording screen D7 has, for example, a plurality (as an example, five) of questions D72. As an example, the plurality of questions D72 are pre-set stereotypical questions. However, the questions D72 are not limited to stereotypical questions and may be customizable. Furthermore, at least any one of the plurality of questions D72 may be provided by the recruiter. In this case, it becomes possible to ask the applicant X questions that match the needs of the recruiter.

[0090] For example, the response column D73 is provided for each question D72. In the response column D73, the interviewer Y inputs the applicant X's response to the question D72 for the applicant X. However, the applicant X's response may be inputted by the applicant X himself / herself. Furthermore, the interview recording screen D7 may have a completion button D74 for finalizing the input by the interviewer Y to the response column D73. When the completion button D74 is pressed, the input of the response to the response column D73 is completed. As a result, the recording of the interview is transmitted from the interviewer terminal T2 to the server 10, and the server 10 receives the recording of the interview.

[0091] For example, when the stop button D63 (see FIG. 9) of the interview video D6 is pressed by either the interviewer Y or the applicant X, the interview ends. For example, when the interview between the applicant X and the interviewer Y is completed, a video file in which the interview video D6 is recorded is automatically created, and the video file is transmitted by the interview video transmission unit 18 to the recruiter's terminal T3. The interview video transmission unit 18 has a function of transmitting the interview video to the recruiter.

[0092] As shown in FIG. 11, for example, the interview video transmission unit 18 displays a video transmission screen D8 on the interviewer's terminal T2. The video transmission screen D8 has a display D81 indicating that the interview video D6 is attached, a file selection button D82, and a remarks column D83. For example, the interview video D6 is automatically attached. In the remarks column D83, remarks of the interview by the interviewer Y are input. The remarks are, for example, the situation of the applicant X during the interview. As an example, the fact that the applicant X was late is input as the remarks. The interview video D6 and the content input in the remarks column D83 are transmitted by the interview video transmission unit 18 to the recruiter's terminal T3.

[0093] For example, the interview video transmission unit 18 may transmit the above-described question D72 and the applicant X's answer to the question D72 to the recruiter. In this case, the interview video transmission unit 18 transmits the record of the interview input on the interview record screen D7 together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter's terminal T3. By transmitting the record of the interview together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter's terminal T3, the recruiter can easily and sufficiently obtain the information of the interview.

[0094] The interview video transmission unit 18 transmits the interview record together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter. The recruiter determines whether to accept or reject the applicant based on the interview video D6 received by the recruiter's terminal T3. The recruiter's terminal T3 has a function of playing the interview video D6. As shown in FIG. 12, a playback screen D9, which is a playback video of the interview video D6, is displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3. As an example, a question for applicant X is displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3 together with the playback screen D9. For example, a remarks column D91 is displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3, and the description in the remarks description column D83 input by interviewer Y is displayed in the remarks column D91.

[0095] Note that a repeat button, a stop button, a reverse playback button, a pause button, and a fast forward button may be displayed together with the playback screen D9. In this case, when playing the playback screen D9, the recruiter can operate the repeat button, the stop button, the reverse playback button, the pause button, and the fast forward button to view the playback screen D9 according to their convenience. For example, when playing the playback screen D9 of applicant X who is concerned, the playback screen D9 can be played multiple times, or when there is no time, the playback of the playback screen D9 can be fast forwarded or skipped. The voice of the interview may be transcribed and displayed on the playback screen D9. It may be possible to skip and play each scene as a chapter on the playback screen D9. Furthermore, the playback speed may be set in multiple stages on the playback screen D9. With these functions, it becomes possible to more efficiently view the playback screen D9 and make a judgment such as acceptance or rejection.

[0096] For example, the recruiter determines whether to accept or reject applicant X based on the playback screen D9 and the received interview record screen D7. The acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 has a function of receiving the acceptance / rejection by the recruiter. That is, the acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 has a function of accepting the acceptance / rejection of applicant X by the recruiter. For example, the acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 displays an evaluation screen D10 for determining the acceptance / rejection of applicant X on the recruiter's terminal T3.

[0097] The evaluation screen D10 is operated by the recruiter on the recruiter's terminal T3. As an example, the evaluation screen D10 has an evaluation input section D101, a comment input section D102, an acceptance / rejection input section D103, an evaluation correction section D104, and a confirmation button D105. For example, in the evaluation input section D101, the overall evaluation of applicant X and the evaluation of the expression during the interview are each input in multiple levels (e.g., 5 levels). In addition to the above, in the evaluation input section D101, the speaking style, the content of the conversation, and the degree of matching of the shift of applicant X may each be input in multiple levels. When the evaluation correction section D104 is pressed, the input to the evaluation input section D101 becomes modifiable.

[0098] In the comment input section D102, for example, points noticed by the recruiter regarding the interview of applicant X and the records input on the interview record screen D7 are input as comments. The acceptance / rejection of applicant X is input in the acceptance / rejection input section D103. As an example, a pass button and a fail button are displayed in the acceptance / rejection input section D103. When the pass button in the acceptance / rejection input section D103 is pressed, it is a pass (adoption), and when the fail button in the acceptance / rejection input section D103 is pressed, it is a fail (non - adoption).

[0099] For example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of allowing the recruiter to evaluate interviewer Y. The evaluation of interviewer Y by the recruiter is determined, as an example, by the number of times the like button D100 displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3 is pressed. More specifically, when the like button D100 is pressed by the recruiter, the like button D100 lights up, and the evaluation of interviewer Y by the recruiter is determined by the number of lit like buttons D100. Note that instead of the like button D100, a high - evaluation button (e.g., a good button or a thumbs - up button) and a low - evaluation button (a bad button or a thumbs - down button) may be displayed.

[0100] For example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of analyzing the aforementioned interview video D6 (see the video, Figure 9). As an example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 evaluates the interviewer Y from the way of speaking (during the conversation and the volume of the voice) and the facial expressions in the interview video D6. Furthermore, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of storing the evaluation of the interviewer Y obtained from at least one of the applicant and the interview video D6. That is, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 stores the evaluation of the interviewer Y obtained from the evaluation by the applicant and the result of the analysis of the interview video D6 in the storage unit 31.

[0101] The acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 has a function of notifying the applicant's terminal T1 of the acceptance / rejection. More specifically, when the confirmation button D105 is pressed by the recruiter, the information input on the evaluation screen D10 is notified from the recruiter's terminal T3 to the server 10. At this time, the acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 notifies the applicant's terminal T1 of the acceptance / rejection by email, for example.

[0102] The employment contract unit 20 has a function of creating an employment contract for hiring the applicant. For example, when the acceptance / rejection result notification unit 19 receives the employment of the applicant X by the recruiter, it transmits an employment contract to the applicant's terminal T1 together with a notification of the employment of the applicant X. When the confirmation button D105 is pressed, for example, the employment contract unit 20 transmits an employment contract to the applicant's terminal T1 together with a statement of hiring the applicant X.

[0103] The above employment contract includes, for example, the transmitted date, employment period, workplace, working hours, salary, and employment contract consent confirmation button. This employment contract consent confirmation button includes, for example, a consent button and a non-consent button. When the applicant X consents to the employment contract, the consent button is pressed, and when the applicant X does not consent to the employment contract, the non-consent button is pressed. Note that the employment contract may include matters regarding the employment form (full-time employee, contract employee, part-time job, etc.), the position to which the applicant belongs, break time, the existence of work beyond the prescribed hours, holidays, vacations, the existence of contract renewal, or retirement.

[0104] Next, the interview method according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 13. FIG. 13 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the interview method according to this embodiment. FIG. 13 shows an example of the flow of an interview method conducted between applicant X and interviewer Y using the interview system 1 described above. For example, the recruiter posts a job opening on an external site G, which is a job hunting website (step S1).

[0105] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 13, in step S1, the recruiter posts a job screen D1 on the external site G. Applicant X views the job screen D1 using the applicant terminal T1 and applies to the external site G (step S2). As shown in FIGS. 2, 3, and 13, for example, applicant X presses the interview application button D18 on the job screen D1, inputs information on the applicant basic information input screen D2 displayed on the applicant terminal T1, and then presses the next button D27.

[0106] When the next button D27 is pressed, for example, the application notification reception unit 11 accesses the external site G and receives the information of applicant X from the external site G (step S3). Thereby, the application notification reception unit 11 accepts the application by applicant X. When the application notification reception unit 11 accepts the application, the applicant information registration unit 12 registers the information of applicant X (step S4).

[0107] As shown in FIGS. 4 and 13, the applicant information registration unit 12 stores the information of applicant X received by the application notification reception unit 11 in the storage unit 31 as table data D29. At this time, a record indicating the information of the new applicant X is added to the table data D29. As shown in FIGS. 5 and 13, after the applicant information registration unit 12 registers the information of applicant X in the storage unit 31, the interview request document generation unit 13 generates an interview request document M (step S5). For example, the applicant name M1 is described in advance in the interview request document M.

[0108] Next, the interview request notification unit 14 transmits the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1 (step S6). At this time, the interview request notification unit 14 may generate an email in which the interview request document M is posted and transmit the email to the applicant terminal T1. As described above, since the interview request document M includes a link to the site that displays the candidate dates and times for the interview, the applicant can grasp that they should adjust the interview date and time.

[0109] When applicant X clicks on the link to the site that displays the candidate dates and times for the interview, as shown in FIGS. 6 and 13, the interview date and time determination unit 15 displays the interview date and time adjustment screen D3 on the applicant terminal T1. Applicant X selects the interview date and time from the interview possible date and time display section D32 or the interview possible time zone D36 on the interview date and time adjustment screen D3, and determines the interview date and time by pressing the confirmation button D34 (step S7).

[0110] When the interview date and time is determined by applicant X, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines the interviewer Y (step S8). For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines one interviewer Y who will conduct the interview with applicant X from among a plurality of interviewers who are waiting in advance. In this embodiment, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines the interviewer Y based on a predetermined rule. The method for determining the interviewer Y will be described in detail later. However, the interviewer determination unit 16 may randomly determine the interviewer Y.

[0111] After the interviewer determination unit 16 determines the interviewer Y, the interview date and time determination unit 15 notifies the interviewer Y of the interview date and time on the interviewer terminal T2 (step S9). For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 may register the date and time on the calendar of the determined interviewer Y and display an interview date and time confirmation screen D5 indicating the confirmed interview date and time on the interviewer terminal T2.

[0112] Then, the interview date and time determination unit 15 notifies the applicant terminal T1 of the date and time (step S10). As shown in FIGS. 8(a), 8(b), and 13, the interview date and time determination unit 15 may display an interview guidance screen D4 on the applicant terminal T1. As a result, it becomes possible for the applicant X and the interviewer Y to conduct an online interview at the determined date and time.

[0113] Then, an online interview between the applicant X and the interviewer Y is conducted at the determined date and time (step S11). Specifically, the online interview starts when each of the applicant X and the interviewer Y clicks on the interview guidance link at the said date and time, and as shown in FIGS. 9 and 13, the interview video generation unit 17 displays an interview video D6 on each of the applicant terminal T1 and the interviewer terminal T2.

[0114] The interview video generation unit 17 starts recording the interview video D6 at the start of the interview (step S12). The interviewer Y conducts an online interview with the applicant X and, as shown in FIGS. 10 and 13, displays an interview recording screen D7 on the interviewer terminal T2 to record the interview (step S13). Specifically, the interviewer Y displays the interview recording screen D7, asks the questions described in the question D72 to the applicant X, and inputs the answers obtained from the applicant X into the answer column D73. When the online interview ends (step S14), the generation of the interview video D6 by the interview video generation unit 17 ends (step S15). Then, the interview video transmission unit 18 transmits the interview video D6 and the interview record to the recruiter terminal T3 (step S16).

[0115] As shown in FIGS. 11 and 13, in step S16, the interview video transmission unit 18 displays a video transmission screen D8 on the interviewer terminal T2. At this time, the interview video D6 is automatically attached, and a memo is input by the interviewer Y into the remarks column D83. The interview video D6 and the memo input in the remarks column D83 are transmitted to the recruiter terminal T3. Note that, together with the transmission of the interview video D6, the interview record input on the interview recording screen D7 may be transmitted to the recruiter terminal T3.

[0116] When the recruiter receives the interview video D6 and the record of the interview, the recruiter evaluates the applicant based on the interview video D6 and the record of the interview. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the recruiter displays the playback screen D9 on the recruiter's terminal T3 to play the interview video D6, and obtains the information of the applicant X from the playback screen D9.

[0117] Then, the recruiter inputs the evaluation of the applicant X into the evaluation screen D10 displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3, and presses the confirmation button D105 to confirm the evaluation of the applicant X. At this time, the acceptance or rejection of the applicant X input into the evaluation screen D10 is notified to the server 10 by the acceptance or rejection result notification unit 19 (step S17).

[0118] Then, the acceptance or rejection result notification unit 19 transmits the acceptance or rejection of the applicant X to the applicant's terminal T1 (step S18). When the recruiter makes an employment decision, the employment contract department 20 may create an employment contract and transmit the employment contract to the applicant's terminal T1 together with the employment notice to the applicant's terminal T1. Through the above steps, a series of steps of the interview method are completed.

[0119] Subsequently, the interview method according to the modified example will be described with reference to FIG. 14. FIG. 14 is a sequence diagram showing an example of the interview method according to the modified example. Since some steps in FIG. 14 overlap with some steps in FIG. 13, in the following description, the descriptions that overlap with the description of FIG. 13 will be omitted as appropriate. First, the recruiter posts a job opening on the company website (step S21).

[0120] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 14, in step S21, the recruiter posts the job opening screen D1 on the company website. The applicant X browses the job information on the company website (step S22). Then, the applicant X inputs the applicant information on the company website and determines the interview date and time (step S23).

[0121] After going through the above steps, the application notice reception unit 11 receives the application from applicant X. When the application notice reception unit 11 receives the application, the applicant information registration unit 12 registers the information of applicant X (step S24). When the interview date and time for applicant X are determined and the information of applicant X is registered, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines interviewer Y (step S25).

[0122] The subsequent steps are the same as the example shown in FIG. 13. That is, after the interviewer determination unit 16 determines interviewer Y, the interview date and time determination unit 15 notifies the determined interviewer Y of the interview date and time on the interviewer's terminal T2 (step S26). Then, the interview date and time determination unit 15 notifies the applicant of the date and time on the applicant's terminal T1 (step S27).

[0123] An online interview between applicant X and interviewer Y is conducted at the determined date and time (step S28), and the interview video generation unit 17 starts recording the interview video D6 at the start of the interview (step S29). Then, interviewer Y conducts an online interview with applicant X and displays the interview recording screen D7 on the interviewer's terminal T2 to record the interview (step S30).

[0124] When the online interview ends (step S31), the generation of the interview video D6 by the interview video generation unit 17 ends (step S32). Then, the interview video transmission unit 18 transmits the interview video D6 and the interview record to the recruiter's terminal T3 (step S33). The recruiter inputs the evaluation of applicant X on the evaluation screen D10 displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3 and presses the confirmation button D105 to confirm the evaluation of applicant X. Then, the acceptance or rejection of applicant X entered on the evaluation screen D10 is notified to the server 10 by the acceptance or rejection result notification unit 19 (step S34). The acceptance or rejection result notification unit 19 transmits the acceptance or rejection of applicant X to the applicant's terminal T1 (step S35). After going through the above steps, a series of steps of the interview method according to the modified example are completed.

[0125] In the interview system 1 according to this embodiment, by managing the interviewer Y, an improvement in the quality of the interview by the interviewer Y is realized. Hereinafter, the management of the interviewer Y will be described. As shown in FIG. 15, for example, the server 10 has a function of displaying an interviewer's my page screen D110 on the interviewer's terminal T2.

[0126] The interviewer's my page screen D110 has, for example, the rank D111 of the interviewer Y, the identification information D112 of the interviewer Y, the interview schedule list D113 of the interviewer Y, and the interview record D114 of the interviewer Y. The rank D111 indicates, for example, the level of the interviewer Y. As an example, the rank D111 is determined by the result of the training by the secretariat. The rank D111 may be a five-level evaluation. For example, it may be shown that rank A has the highest level and rank E has the lowest level.

[0127] For example, the higher the rank D111, the higher the remuneration of the interviewer Y may be. As an example, the remuneration of the interviewer Y may be determined by the product of the unit price and the interview record D114, and the higher the rank D111, the higher the unit price may be. In this case, for example, the interviewer Y can increase the rank D111 according to the result of the training and increase the remuneration, so that the motivation for the interview can be enhanced.

[0128] The identification information D112 includes, for example, the ID (identification number) of the interviewer Y, the name of the interviewer Y, the email address of the interviewer Y, and the registration date. In the interview schedule list D113, a list of the dates and times of the interviews scheduled to be conducted by the interviewer Y is displayed. In the interview record D114, the record of the interviews conducted by the interviewer Y is displayed.

[0129] As shown in FIG. 16, in the interview system 1 according to this embodiment, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of displaying an interviewer evaluation screen D120 on the applicant's terminal T1. And the applicant's terminal T1 has a function of evaluating the interviewer Y who conducted the interview. The interviewer evaluation screen D120 is displayed, for example, on the applicant's terminal T1 after the applicant X finishes the interview with the interviewer Y. Thereby, the applicant X can evaluate the interviewer Y immediately after the interview.

[0130] The interviewer evaluation screen D120 has, for example, an evaluation input section D121 that enables the interviewer Y to evaluate at multiple levels, a favorable evaluation input section D122, an unfavorable evaluation input section D123, and other input section D124. For example, in the evaluation input section D121, evaluations of the interview by the applicant X are input at multiple levels. The applicant X can input to radio buttons such as "very good" or "not very good" in the evaluation input section D121.

[0131] In the favorable evaluation input section D122, matters that the applicant X thought were good in the interview are determined. In the favorable evaluation input section D122, a plurality of good points are pre-listed as items, and the applicant X can select one or more items from the plurality of listed items. In the unfavorable evaluation input section D123, matters that the applicant X thought were bad in the interview are determined. In the unfavorable evaluation input section D123, a plurality of bad points are pre-listed as items, and the applicant X can select one or more items from the plurality of listed items. In the other input section D124, points noticed by the applicant X regarding the interview are input.

[0132] The example of the interviewer evaluation screen D120 has been described above. However, the form of the interviewer evaluation screen is not limited to the above-described interviewer evaluation screen D120. For example, the interviewer evaluation screen may have an evaluation input section, and the evaluation input section has a plurality (for example, three) of star marks. In this case, the interviewer Y is evaluated by determining the number of star marks to be tapped and filled in. The more star marks are filled in, the higher the evaluation indicates. In this interviewer evaluation screen, for example, three-level evaluation (or five-level evaluation) of the interviewer Y is possible.

[0133] For example, the server 10 has a function of notifying the evaluation to the interviewer terminal T2. More specifically, the evaluation input in the evaluation input section D121 on the interviewer evaluation screen D120 is notified to the secretariat, and the interviewer terminal T2 is notified of the evaluation from the secretariat. For example, when applicant X undergoes a stress interview and a low evaluation is input into the evaluation input section D121, the low evaluation is notified to the secretariat. At this time, the secretariat can notify the interviewer Y that the low evaluation has been received and provide guidance or the like to the interviewer Y.

[0134] FIG. 17 shows an example of an interviewer management screen D130 displayed on the secretariat terminal T4 owned by the secretariat. The interviewer management screen D130 has, for example, a detailed information list D133 showing detailed information of interviewer Y. For example, the detailed information list D133 includes the evaluation of interviewer Y by the applicant and the evaluation of interviewer Y by the recruiter.

[0135] The evaluation of interviewer Y by the applicant shows, for example, the average value of the evaluations of the applicant input into the evaluation input section D121. The evaluation of interviewer Y by the recruiter is, for example, displayed as a corporate evaluation. The corporate evaluation will be described in detail later. In addition to the evaluation of interviewer Y, the detailed information list D133 may also display the number of interview reservations and the like.

[0136] The interviewer management screen D130 has, for example, the rank D131, identification information D132, and edit button D134 of interviewer Y. Each of the rank D131 and the identification information D132 is, for example, the same as each of the rank D111 and the identification information D112 described above. For example, at the secretariat, the information displayed on the interviewer management screen D130 can be edited by pressing the edit button D134.

[0137] FIG. 18 shows an example of the summary screen D140 of the interviewer Y displayed on the terminal T4 for the secretariat. The summary screen D140 has, for example, a list D141 of interviewer information. As an example, in the list D141 of interviewer information, the ID of the interviewer, the name of the interviewer, the rank of the interviewer, the email address of the interviewer, the evaluation of the interviewer by the applicant, and the evaluation of the interviewer by the recruiter are displayed for each interviewer. At the secretariat, by looking at the list D141 of interviewer information, one can immediately grasp which interviewers are excellent and have good performance.

[0138] FIG. 19 shows an example of the evaluation screen D150 of the interviewer by the recruiter (company). The evaluation screen D150 is displayed, for example, on the terminal T4 for the secretariat. The evaluation screen D150 displays the evaluation of one interviewer by each recruiter. In the example of FIG. 19, the evaluation of the interviewer by the recruiter named AAA, the evaluation of the interviewer by the recruiter named BBB, and the evaluation of the interviewer by the recruiter named CCC are displayed.

[0139] The evaluation of the interviewer by the recruiter is determined, as an example, by the number of times the like button D100 (see FIG. 12) is pressed (the number of lit like buttons D100). In the example of FIG. 19, it shows that for the interviewer named Yamada, the like button D100 was pressed 15 times by the recruiter named AAA, 22 times by the recruiter named BBB, and 6 times by the recruiter named CCC.

[0140] For example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 notifies the interviewer terminal T2 of the evaluation of the interviewer stored in the storage unit 31. As an example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 may notify the interviewer terminal T2 of the evaluation displayed on the evaluation screen D150. In this case, the interviewer can enhance the motivation for the interview.

[0141] For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 may output compatibility data between the interviewer and the applicant from the evaluation of the applicant displayed on the evaluation screen D150. As an example, the compatibility data is data obtained by quantifying the degree of matching between the interviewer and the applicant. The compatibility data may be the number of times the like button D100 is pressed, or may be data in which elements different from the number of times the like button D100 is pressed are taken into account. For example, the numerical value of the compatibility data may be determined by the number of times the like button D100 is pressed, the age of the interviewer, and the gender of the interviewer. For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines an interviewer whose numerical value of the compatibility data with the applicant applying for the position is equal to or greater than a certain value. In this case, an interviewer with good compatibility with the applicant can be automatically determined.

[0142] Next, the effects obtained from the interview system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described in more detail. As shown in FIG. 1, the interview system 1 includes a server 10, an applicant terminal T1 used by an applicant X, and an interviewer terminal T2 used by an interviewer Y, and an interview is conducted in response to a request from a recruiter. The server 10 has a function of generating an interview request document M for the applicant terminal T1, a function of transmitting the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1, and a function of displaying the candidate date and time of the interview on the applicant terminal T1. Since the interview request document M is transmitted to the applicant terminal T1 and the candidate date and time of the interview are displayed, the process from application to selection of the interview date and time can be made smooth.

[0143] Server 10 has a function of receiving the interview date and time selected by applicant X from the above candidate date and time, and a function of notifying the interview date and time to the interviewer terminal T2. By setting the candidate date and time of the interview as a convenient date and time for interviewer Y, a convenient date and time for interviewer Y is selected, so the load on interviewer Y can be reduced. Furthermore, when server 10 receives the interview date and time from applicant terminal T1, the interview date and time is notified to interviewer terminal T2. Therefore, even if interviewer Y himself does not adjust the interview date and time, the interview date and time is automatically notified, so the load on interviewer Y can also be reduced in this regard. Server 10 has a function of generating a video of the interview by applicant X and interviewer Y, and a function of transmitting the generated video to the recruiter. Since the recruiter can obtain the video of the interview by applicant X and interviewer Y as long as they request it, the load on the recruiter can be reduced.

[0144] Applicant terminal T1 has a function of applying to the recruiter through external site G, and in the function of receiving the application of server 10, the application by applicant X is received via external site G. That is, since server 10 cooperates with external site G to receive the application of applicant X, the load on server 10 can be reduced and the information of applicant X can be efficiently obtained.

[0145] Furthermore, as shown in FIGS. 6, 8(a) and 8(b), in the function of displaying the candidate date and time of the interview on applicant terminal T1, a plurality of time zones with a fixed time interval are displayed. The first time zone among the plurality of time zones is the time zone next to the time zone including the time when the application was received, and applicant terminal T1 can select the next time zone. Therefore, applicant X can receive the online interview immediately in the next time zone after applying, so the online interview can be started as soon as possible. Therefore, applicant X can receive the online interview efficiently, and interviewer Y can also conduct the online interview efficiently.

[0146] In this embodiment, the time interval of each time zone may be 30 minutes or less. In this case, applicant X can receive the online interview after waiting for at most 30 minutes. Therefore, the online interview can be received more efficiently.

[0147] In this embodiment, the server 10 may have a function of displaying (counting down) the time until the interview starts on the applicant terminal T1. In this case, the applicant X can grasp how many minutes are left until the interview starts by looking at the applicant terminal T1.

[0148] In this embodiment, the external site G may include a job hunting site and the site of the company to which the recruiter belongs. In this case, the applicant X can apply from the job hunting site or from the company site. Therefore, applications can be made more efficiently.

[0149] In this embodiment, the applicant terminal T1 may have a function of evaluating the interviewer Y who conducted the interview, and the server 10 may have a function of notifying the evaluation to the administrative office (for example, the administrative office terminal T4) that manages the interviewer Y. In this case, the applicant X can evaluate the interviewer Y. Since the evaluation by the applicant X is notified to the administrative office that manages the interviewer Y, the administrative office that manages the interviewer Y can grasp the evaluation of the interview conducted by the interviewer Y. Therefore, it contributes to the improvement of the quality of the interviewer Y.

[0150] In this embodiment, the server 10 may have a function of allowing the recruiter to evaluate the interviewer Y, a function of analyzing the interview video D6, a function of storing the evaluation of the interviewer Y obtained from at least one of the recruiter and the interview video D6, and a function of notifying the evaluation of the interviewer Y stored by the storing function to the interviewer terminal T2. In this case, the evaluation of the interviewer Y obtained from the recruiter and the evaluation of the interviewer Y obtained by analyzing the interview video D6 can be stored. Furthermore, the stored evaluation of the interviewer Y is notified to the interviewer terminal T2. Therefore, the interviewer Y can grasp his / her own evaluation, so the motivation for the interview can be enhanced, which contributes to the improvement of the quality of the interview.

[0151] As described above, in the interview system 1, in response to a request from the recruiter, the interviewer Y conducts an interview with the applicant X. However, there may be cases where the recruiter wishes to conduct an online interview with the applicant X himself / herself because he / she wants to hear more details from the applicant X or has time, etc. To achieve this, the server 10 of the interview system 1 has an interview replacement unit 22, which is a function of receiving a request from the recruiter's terminal T3 to conduct an online interview himself / herself before the interview is conducted. After this function is executed, the recruiter conducts an online interview himself / herself. Hereinafter, an example of the interview replacement unit 22 will be described.

[0152] As shown in FIG. 20, for example, the interview replacement unit 22 displays a list screen D160 of the applicant X on the recruiter's terminal T3. The list screen D160 has a name display unit D161 that displays the names of the applicant X, an organization name display unit D162 that displays the names of the organizations, a status display unit D163, a reservation confirmation display unit D164, a scheduled execution display unit D165, and a status update display unit D166.

[0153] The name display unit D161 displays a list of the names of the applicant X. The organization name display unit D162 displays, for example, a list of the stores to which the applicant X has applied. The status display unit D163 displays the status of the reservation for the interview with the applicant X. For example, when the date and time of the interview with the applicant X are confirmed, the status display unit D163 displays "interview confirmed". The reservation confirmation display unit D164 displays the date and time when the reservation for the interview with the applicant X was confirmed, and the scheduled execution display unit D165 displays the date and time of the interview (the date and time when the interview is scheduled to be conducted). The status update display unit D166 displays the date and time when the status display unit D163 was updated.

[0154] On the list screen D160, the recruiter can select an interview with applicant X. For example, the recruiter can select an interview with applicant X whose organization name is displayed in the organization name display section D162. For example, if the recruiter is the store manager, only the information of the applicant whose organization is his / her store may be displayed on the list screen D160. For example, the recruiter looks at the scheduled time display section D165 and selects an interview with applicant X when the time displayed in the scheduled time display section D165 is a time when an interview is possible.

[0155] As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, when the recruiter selects an interview with applicant X on the list screen D160, the interview shift section 22 displays the applicant information screen D170 on the recruiter's terminal T3. FIG. 21 shows an example where the recruiter has selected an interview with applicant X whose name is "AAAA" in FIG. 20. The applicant information screen D170 includes an applicant information display section D171 that displays the name, email address, and phone number of applicant X, an organization name display section D172, a reservation confirmation time display section D173, a scheduled date and time display section D174, a status update time display section D175, and an interviewer identification code display section D176.

[0156] The display contents of the organization name display section D172, the reservation confirmation time display section D173, the scheduled date and time display section D174, and the status update time display section D175 are the same as the display contents of the organization name display section D162, the reservation confirmation time display section D164, the scheduled time display section D165, and the status update time display section D166 described above. The identification code (ID) of interviewer Y who is scheduled to interview applicant X is displayed in the interviewer identification code display section D176. Note that the name of interviewer Y may be displayed on the applicant information screen D170. The applicant information screen D170 has, for example, an interview shift button D177 and a return button D178. When the return button D178 is pressed, the interview shift section 22 displays the list screen D160 on the recruiter's terminal T3.

[0157] For example, the function of replacing the person who conducts the interview by the interview replacement unit 22 is executable only when the interview date and time are before a certain time. That is, the replacement function is executable only when it is before a certain time from the date and time displayed on the scheduled execution date and time display unit D174. Thereby, replacement after a certain time before the person who conducts the interview (for example, immediately before the interview) can be prohibited. "Before a certain time" is, for example, before 3 hours. However, "before a certain time" may be before 24 hours and is not particularly limited. For example, when the interview date and time are before a certain time, the interview replacement button D177 can be pressed, and when the interview date and time are after a certain time, the interview replacement button D177 cannot be pressed.

[0158] When the interview replacement button D177 is pressed when it is pressable, the interview replacement unit 22 displays an interview replacement confirmation screen D180 for confirming whether to change the person who conducts the interview to the recruiter on the recruiter's terminal T3 as shown in FIG. 22. The interview replacement confirmation screen D180 has an email address display unit D181, a cancel button D182, and a decision button D183. The email address of the recruiter is displayed on the email address display unit D181. When the cancel button D182 is pressed, the interview replacement unit 22 displays, for example, the list screen D160 on the recruiter's terminal T3. When the decision button D183 is pressed, the interview replacement unit 22 accepts a request from the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself.

[0159] After accepting a request from the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself, the replacement from the recruiter who interviews the applicant to the interviewer Y is restricted. That is, once the person who conducts the interview is changed to the recruiter, the person who conducts the interview cannot be changed back to the interviewer Y again. Thereby, it is possible to avoid the interviewer Y being manipulated according to the convenience of the recruiter.

[0160] After the recruiter accepts a request to conduct an interview himself / herself, it is regulated to change the interviewer from the recruiter to another person. At this time, even if the interview with applicant X is selected on the list screen D160, as shown in FIG. 23, the interview replacement button D177 cannot be pressed on the applicant information screen D170. In this state, instead of the interview replacement button D177, a disabled replaced button D179 is displayed. Further, after the recruiter accepts a request to conduct an interview himself / herself, a replaced mark may be displayed at the location of the name display section D161 on the list screen D160 together with the name of the applicant with whom the recruiter will conduct the interview (for example, on the left side of the name). In this case, members of the same organization as the recruiter can grasp the applicants (applicants who cannot be replaced) who have already been replaced.

[0161] When the interview replacement unit 22 receives a request for the recruiter to conduct an interview himself / herself, as shown in FIG. 24, an interview information notification email D190 is sent to the recruiter's email address. The interview information notification email D190 is displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3. The interview information notification email D190 includes a recruiter name display section D191 that displays the recruiter's name, an interview information display section D192, a recruiter interview guidance link D193, an applicant information display section D194, an applicant interview guidance link D195, and an organization information display section D196.

[0162] The interview information display section D192 displays, for example, the title of the interview and the date and time of the interview. The applicant information display section D194 displays, for example, the applicant's name, kana of the name, email address, and phone number. The organization information display section D196 displays, for example, the company name and store name. The recruiter can conduct an online interview with applicant X by clicking the recruiter interview guidance link D193 at the date and time of the interview. The applicant interview guidance link D195 is a link that enables applicant X to conduct an online interview with the recruiter by clicking. Note that the applicant interview guidance link D195 may be omitted.

[0163] When the recruiter clicks on the recruiter interview guidance link D193 at the interview date and time, an online interview is conducted between the recruiter and applicant X. Fig. 9 shows the interview video D6 in which an online interview is conducted between applicant X and interviewer Y. For example, in the online interview conducted between the recruiter and applicant X, the recruiter is displayed instead of interviewer Y in the interview video D6. When the online interview is conducted and the stop button D63 of the interview video D6 is pressed, the online interview ends. When the interview between the recruiter and applicant X is completed, the interview video generation unit 17 creates a video file in which the interview video D6 is recorded. In this way, the function for generating a video (interview video generation unit 17) generates the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself / herself (interview video D6).

[0164] The supervisor's terminal T5 has a function of displaying the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself / herself. For example, similar to the recruiter's terminal T3 shown in Fig. 12, a playback screen D9, which is the playback video of the interview video D6, is displayed on the supervisor's terminal T5. However, the remarks column D91 or the evaluation screen D10 may not be displayed on the playback screen D9 displayed on the supervisor's terminal T5. Also, the playback screen D9 displayed on the supervisor's terminal T5 may be for viewing only.

[0165] The number recording unit 23 records the number of times the function of receiving a request for the recruiter to conduct an interview himself / herself is executed. Thereby, it is possible to grasp which recruiter has replaced interviewer Y how many times. The number recorded by the number recording unit 23 may be made displayable on the supervisor's terminal T5. In this case, the supervisor can grasp which recruiter frequently replaces the interviewer. Further, the recruiter's terminal T3 of the recruiter whose number recorded by the number recording unit 23 exceeds a certain value may be notified to that effect. Also, the number recording unit 23 may record at least one of when the recruiter replaced the interview for an interview several hours ahead and at what time zone the interview was replaced.

[0166] The recording time recording unit 24 records the recording times of the interview videos of interviewer Y and the interview videos of the recruiter's own interview. If the interview time is long, there is concern that a large amount of video data will be accumulated in the server 10, resulting in high system costs. In contrast, when the recording time recording unit 24 records the recording time as described above, it is possible to identify interviewer Y and the recruiter with a long interview time, and it is possible to alert the identified interviewer Y and the recruiter. Also, in order to avoid the accumulation of a large amount of video data, the online interview may be forcibly terminated when the recording time of the online interview exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes or more).

[0167] As described above, before the interview is conducted, the server 10 has an interview replacement unit 22 that receives a request from the recruiter terminal T3 for the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself. Therefore, when the recruiter wants to conduct the interview with applicant X by himself / herself, he / she can conduct the interview with the applicant by himself / herself. Furthermore, as described above, since the server 10 has a function of notifying the recruiter that an interview reservation has been made, the recruiter can grasp the content of the interview he / she conducts. As described above, in the function of generating a video, a video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself / herself may be generated. In this case, the recruiter can review the video with applicant X he / she interviewed later and evaluate the applicant.

[0168] As described above, the interview system 1 may further include a supervisor terminal T5 used by the recruiter's supervisor, and the supervisor terminal T5 may have a function of displaying a video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself / herself. In this case, since the recruiter's supervisor can view the video of the recruiter's interview, the supervisor can grasp whether the recruiter is conducting the interview appropriately.

[0169] As described above, the function of receiving a request may be executable only when it is before a certain time before the interview date and time. In this case, it is possible to suppress the replacement of the interviewer for the recruiter after a certain time before the interview date and time. That is, it is possible to suppress a sudden replacement of the interviewer immediately before the interview.

[0170] As described above, after the function of receiving a request is executed, the replacement of the interviewer from the recruiter who interviews applicant X to the interviewer may be restricted. In this case, after the person conducting the interview is once replaced by the recruiter, it is possible to prohibit the person conducting the interview from being returned to interviewer Y again.

[0171] As described above, server 10 may have a count recording unit 23 that records the number of times the function of receiving a request is executed. In this case, the number of times the person conducting the interview is replaced by the recruiter can be recorded.

[0172] As described above, server 10 may have a recording time recording unit 24 that records the recording times of the interview video of interviewer Y and the interview video conducted by the recruiter himself / herself. In this case, since the recording time of the interview video can be grasped, it is possible to call attention to those whose interview time is too long, etc. Therefore, an increase in the capacity of the interview video data can be suppressed, and the cost borne by server 10 can be reduced.

[0173] The embodiments of the interview system and interview method according to the present disclosure have been described above. As described above, the recruiter can evaluate the applicant while watching the interview video D6, and can also evaluate the interviewer while watching the interview video D6. Also, after the interview ends, the applicant evaluates the interviewer. That is, the applicant inputs an evaluation of the interviewer into the evaluation form for evaluating the interviewer, and the evaluation form with the evaluation input is uploaded to server 10. For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines the interviewer according to the evaluation of the interviewer stored in server 10. Specifically, a higher-evaluated interviewer may be given more interview opportunities, and the interview opportunities given to a lower-evaluated interviewer may be reduced. In this case, it becomes possible to further improve the quality of the interviewer.

[0174] However, the interview system and interview method according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described embodiments, and may be modified or applied to other things without changing the gist described in each claim. That is, the configuration and function of each part of the interview system and the content and order of each step of the interview method can be appropriately changed without changing the above gist.

[0175] For example, in the foregoing embodiment, the display control unit 32 displays the screen of the interview system 1 on each of the applicant terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, and the recruiter terminal T3. In the foregoing embodiment, the job offer screen D1, the applicant basic information input screen D2, the interview date / time adjustment screen D3, the interview guidance screen D4, the interview date / time confirmation screen D5, the interview video D6, the interview record screen D7, the video transmission screen D8, the playback screen D9, the evaluation screen D10, the list screen D160, the applicant information screen D170, the interview shift confirmation screen D180, and the interview information notification email D190 have been described as examples of being displayed. However, the layouts and display contents of these screens and the like can be changed as appropriate. For example, the buttons displayed on the screen may be, for example, links, or may be in a form other than buttons.

[0176] In the foregoing embodiment, an example has been described in which the employment contract department 20 creates an employment contract and the employment contract is transmitted to the applicant terminal T1 together with a notification of acceptance or rejection. However, it is not necessary to create an employment contract, and it is also possible to omit the employment contract department 20.
