DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0036] [Embodiment] The following describes in detail preferred embodiments of a recruitment and job search support device and a recruitment and job search support method according to the present invention, with reference to the accompanying drawings. Note that the present invention is not limited to these embodiments and includes various modifications and improvements. In other words, the components described below include those that would be easily conceivable to a person skilled in the art or that are substantially identical, and the components described below can be combined as appropriate. Furthermore, various omissions, substitutions, or modifications of the components can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, in the drawings, the scale and number of components may differ from the scale and number of the actual components to make each component easier to understand.

[0037] FIG. 1 is a diagram for explaining an overview of a system according to one embodiment. First, with reference to the diagram, the prerequisites for this embodiment will be explained. The system 1 is used by a recruiter / job seeker supporter 2, a recruiter 3, and a job seeker 4. In reality, the system 1 includes multiple recruiters 3 and multiple job seekers 4. To simplify the explanation, the example shown in the diagram shows an example in which the system 1 is used by one recruiter 3 and one job seeker 4.

[0038] Furthermore, it is preferable that system 1 is realized by a computer system. When system 1 is realized by a computer system, the device operated by recruiter and job search supporter 2 will be referred to as recruiter and job search support device 20, the device operated by recruiter 3 will be referred to as recruiting device 30, and the device operated by job seeker 4 will be referred to as job search device 40.

[0039] The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 supports each of the multiple recruiters 3 and multiple job seekers 4 included in the system 1 in determining appropriate work schedules.

[0040] The recruiter 3 is a person who uses the system 1 in search of labor. The recruiter 3 may be a company, etc. The recruiter 3 may hire multiple job seekers 4. In this case, the recruiter 3 can also be said to be an employer who hires workers. In other words, the recruiter 3 is a recruiter in relation to those who have not yet been hired, and an employer in relation to those who have already been hired.

[0041] A job seeker 4 uses the system 1 in search of job information. A job seeker 4 may be an individual who provides labor. A job recruiter 3 may be employed by multiple job seekers 4. In this case, the job seeker 4 can also be said to be a worker who provides labor. In other words, a job seeker 4 is a job seeker in relation to someone who has not yet been hired, and a worker in relation to someone who has already been hired.

[0042] The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 supports finding a combination of multiple recruiters 3 and multiple job seekers 4 that meets their mutual requirements. After finding a combination that meets their mutual requirements, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 supports the procedures up until the actual start of employment. Furthermore, after employment begins, if a job seeker 4 is unable to provide labor on the scheduled work day, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 will help find another job seeker 4. In other words, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 provides a wide range of support to meet the supply and demand for labor between recruiters 3 and job seekers 4.

[0043] As an example, when the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 receives a request to post a job from one recruiter 3, it presents the job information to multiple job seekers 4 using the system 1. Furthermore, when the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 receives an application from one job seeker 4, it inquires with the recruiter 3 about whether or not the job seeker 4 will be hired, along with information about the job seeker 4. Once the decision is made to hire the job seeker 4, the recruiter 3 gives work instructions to the job seeker 4, and the job seeker 4 works under the work instructions of the recruiter 3.

[0044] FIG. 2 is a diagram showing the functions of the recruitment and job search support device according to this embodiment. The recruitment and job search support device 20 has at least a working conditions notice creation function 5, a multiple person simultaneous contracting function 6, a substitute registration function 7, and a substitute recommendation function 8. These functions may operate independently of each other, or may cooperate with each other. Furthermore, the recruitment and job search support device 20 may include any one of these functions, or may include all of these functions. Each of these functions will be described below in order as the first to fourth embodiments.

[0045] [First embodiment] The first embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 3 to 9. In the first embodiment, the working conditions notice creation function 5 will be described.

[0046] 3 is a first flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the first embodiment. First, with reference to the same figure, the flow up to the hiring decision among the series of flows of the working conditions notice creation function 5 will be described.

[0047] (Step S511) First, a shift is created by the recruiter 3. The shift created by the recruiter 3 is a schedule showing the date and time and the workers who will work on that date and time. For a shift, slots for the required number of personnel are prepared for each date and time, and there are slots for which workers have already been assigned and slots for which there are shortages.

[0048] (Step S512) Here, if there is no shortage of slots in the shift (i.e., step S512; NO), the following process is not performed. If there is a shortage of slots in the shift (i.e., step S512; YES), the process proceeds to step S513.

[0049] (Step S513) Next, the recruiter 3 creates a job offer for the shift shortage. The job offer describes the employment conditions.

[0050] (Step S514) Next, the recruiter 3 sends the created job offer to the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 and requests that the job offer information be posted.

[0051] (Step S515) Next, upon receiving a request to post job information from the employer 3, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 posts the job information. The job information may be posted on a job information posting site independently operated by the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2, or may be posted through another platform.

[0052] (Step S516) The job seeker 4 browses the job information and searches for the job information that he or she desires. When the job seeker 4 finds the job information that he or she desires, he or she applies to the recruitment and job seeking supporter 2.

[0053] (Step S517) When the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 accepts the application from the job seeker 4, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 presents information about the job seeker 4 to the recruiting party 3.

[0054] (Step S518) Based on the information from the job seeker recruitment supporter 2, the recruiter 3 determines whether to hire or reject the job seeker 4.

[0055] (Step S519) The recruiter 3 sends the result of the decision as to whether to hire or reject the job seeker 4 to the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2.

[0056] (Step S520) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 sends the job seeker 4 the result of the decision by the recruiter 3 as to whether the job seeker has been hired or rejected.

[0057] 4 is a second flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the first embodiment. Next, with reference to the same figure, the flow after the hiring decision is made will be described, among the series of flows of the working conditions notice creation function.

[0058] (Step S521) When the recruiter 3 decides to hire the job seeker 4, the recruiter / job search supporter 2 prepares a working conditions notice. The working conditions notice is prepared using information obtained from the recruiter 3 in step S514 and information obtained from the job seeker 4 in step S516.

[0059] (Step S522) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 presents the created working conditions notice to the recruiter 3.

[0060] (Step S523) The recruiter 3 checks the working conditions notice presented by the recruiter and job seeker supporter 2. At this time, if there are any corrections or additions to the working conditions notice, the recruiter 3 corrects and adds to the working conditions notice.

[0061] (Step S524) When the Notice of Working Conditions is finalized, the recruiter 3 notifies the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 of this fact. The recruiter 3 may also send the finalized Notice of Working Conditions to the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2.

[0062] (Step S525) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 notifies the job seeker 4 of the finalized notice of working conditions.

[0063] (Step S526) The job seeker 4 checks the working conditions notice notified by the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 and accepts the working conditions notice.

[0064] FIG. 5 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the recruitment and job search support device according to the first embodiment. Referring to FIG. 5, an example of the functional configuration of the recruitment and job search support device 20 for implementing the working conditions notice creation function 5 described above will be described. The recruitment and job search support device 20 includes a recruitment information acquisition unit 251, a presentation unit 252, a final information acquisition unit 253, a working conditions notice creation unit 254, a notification unit 255, and a recruitment and job search database 256. Each of these functional units is implemented using, for example, electronic circuits. Each functional unit may also include internal storage means such as semiconductor memory or a magnetic hard disk drive, as needed. Each function may also be implemented by a computer with a CPU (Central Processing Unit) and software. While the recruitment and job search database 256 is described as being included as part of the functional configuration of the recruitment and job search support device 20, it may also exist outside the recruitment and job search support device 20, such as a virtual storage unit on the cloud.

[0065] The employment information acquisition unit 251 acquires employment information from the job recruitment device 30 and the job search device 40. The employment information is information required to create a working conditions notice. The employment information acquired by the employment information acquisition unit 251 includes at least information about the employer and information about the job seeker. The employment information acquisition unit 251 provides the acquired employment information to the working conditions notice creation unit 254.

[0066] The working conditions notice preparation unit 254 prepares a working conditions notice based on the employment information acquired by the employment information acquisition unit 251. The working conditions notice preparation unit 254 may use employment and job search information stored in the employment and job search database 256 in addition to or instead of the employment information acquired by the employment information acquisition unit 251. The employment and job search information stored in the employment and job search database 256 may include registration information of the employer 3 and the job seeker 4, information regarding employment advertisements, etc.

[0067] The presentation unit 252 presents the working conditions notice created by the working conditions notice creation unit 254 to the recruiter 3. Here, since the system 1 includes multiple recruiters 3, the presentation unit 252 presents the working conditions notice to the recruiter 3 whose information is included in the recruitment information acquired by the recruitment information acquisition unit 251.

[0068] The confirmation information acquisition unit 253 acquires information indicating that the contents of the working conditions notice have been finalized as a result of the employment employer 3 confirming the working conditions notice presented by the presentation unit 252. Note that the information indicating that the contents of the working conditions notice have been finalized may include the contents of the finalized working conditions notice.

[0069] After the finalization information acquisition unit 253 acquires information indicating that the contents of the working conditions notice have been finalized, the notification unit 255 notifies the job seeker 4 of the finalized working conditions notice. Here, since the system 1 includes multiple job seekers 4, the notification unit 255 notifies the job seeker 4 whose information is included in the recruitment information acquired by the recruitment information acquisition unit 251 of the finalized working conditions notice.

[0070] In the above example, a case has been described in which the notice of working conditions is created by the job offer and job search support device 20 after employment has been confirmed. Because the name of the job seeker 4 is stated in the notice of working conditions, it is preferable to create the notice of working conditions after employment has been confirmed. In this case, the employment information includes information indicating that the recruiter 3 has decided to hire the job seeker 4. Furthermore, the notice of working conditions presented by the presentation unit 252 includes the name of the recruiter 3.

[0071] However, this embodiment is not limited to this example. For example, the timing when the notice of working conditions is created by the job offer and job search support device 20 may be before employment is confirmed. In this case, the name of the job seeker 4 is not stated in the notice of working conditions. In other words, when presenting a notice of working conditions before the recruiter 3 decides to hire the job seeker 4, the presentation unit 252 may present a notice of working conditions that does not include the name of the recruiter 3.

[0072] 4, the final information acquisition unit 253 further acquires the content of the revised notice of working conditions as a result of the employer confirming and correcting the notice of working conditions presented by the presentation unit 252. Furthermore, the notification unit 255 notifies the job seeker 4 of the content of the revised notice of working conditions.

[0073] 6 is a diagram showing an example of a working conditions notice generated by the job recruitment and job search support device according to the first embodiment. With reference to the same figure, an example of a working conditions notice D50 generated by the job recruitment and job search support device 20 will be described.

[0074] The name of the job seeker 4 is entered in code D51. If the notice of working conditions is prepared before employment is confirmed, code D51 may be left blank. Code D51 is an item that depends on whether employment has been confirmed or not and on the job seeker 4. Code D52 is the contract period. Code D52 is an item that depends on the job offer content. Code D53 is the place of work that will be performed. Code D53 is an item that depends on either the job offer content or the employer 3. Code D54 is the content of the work to be performed. Code D54 is an item that depends on either the job offer content or the employer 3. Code D55 is the working hours that will be entered. Code D55 is an item that depends on the job offer content.

[0075] Code D56 contains information about holidays. Code D57 contains information about vacations. Codes D56 and D57 are items that are not displayed if the job offer is for a part-time job. In other words, it can be said that codes D56 and D57 are items specific to applications for full-time employment or long-term part-time work. Code D59 contains other items. Code D59 is an item that depends on either the job offer content or the employer 3. Code D59 may contain a mixture of items that depend on the job offer content and items that depend on the employer 3. Code D59 may also include items that are included in all notices of working conditions.

[0076] In this way, the working conditions notice includes items that depend on the employer 3, items that depend on the job seeker 4, items that depend on the content of the job offer, items that depend on whether the job offer is a spot part-time job, items that are included in all working conditions notices, etc. The job offer and job search support device 20 may leave blank any content for which information is missing at the time of creating, presenting, or notifying the working conditions notice.

[0077] Furthermore, when presenting a draft version of the notice of working conditions to the employer 3, the employment recruitment and job search support device 20 may highlight items that require particular confirmation. Instead of highlighting, other fonts that can be highlighted may be used. That is, some items in the notice of working conditions presented to the employer 3 by the presentation unit 252 may be highlighted. Highlighted items in the draft version may be displayed normally when the final notice of working conditions is notified to the job seeker 4. That is, some highlighted items in the notice of working conditions presented by the presentation unit 252 may not be highlighted in the notice of working conditions notified to the job seeker 4 by the notification unit 255. By performing this processing, the employment recruitment and job search support device 20 can send a formal notice of working conditions to the job seeker 4 while having the employer 3 confirm important items.

[0078] FIG. 7 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the job sourcing device according to the first embodiment. With reference to the same figure, an example of the functional configuration of the job sourcing device 30 will be described.

[0080] The job vacancy device information presentation unit 32 presents information to the job vacant party 3. The presentation of information by the job vacancy device information presentation unit 32 may be, for example, a visual presentation such as displaying a screen on a display, or an auditory presentation such as outputting audio information from a speaker.

[0081] Based on the operation of the job recruitment device control unit 33, the job recruitment device communication unit 34 communicates information with the job recruitment and job search support device 20 via a predetermined communication network. The predetermined communication network may be the Internet or the like. Specifically, the job recruitment device communication unit 34 transmits job recruitment device output information to the job recruitment and job search support device 20 and acquires job recruitment device input information from the job recruitment and job search support device 20.

[0082] The job recruitment device control unit 33 acquires operation information from the job recruitment device operation acquisition unit 31, and acquires job recruitment device input information from the job recruitment device communication unit 34. The job recruitment device control unit 33 performs predetermined processing based on the acquired information. The job recruitment device control unit 33 presents the results of the predetermined processing to the recruiter 3 or outputs them to the job recruitment and job search support device 20. Specifically, the job recruitment device control unit 33 outputs presentation information to the job recruitment device information presentation unit 32, and outputs job recruitment device output information to the job recruitment device communication unit 34.

[0083] FIG. 8 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of the job search device according to the first embodiment. An example of the functional configuration of the job search device 40 will be described with reference to the diagram. The job search device 40 includes a job search device operation acquisition unit 41, a job search device information presentation unit 42, a job search device control unit 43, and a job search device communication unit 44.

Specifically, job search device control unit 43 outputs presentation information to job search device information presentation unit 42, and outputs job search device output information to job search device communication unit 44.

[0088] FIG. 9 is a block diagram showing an example of the internal configuration of the recruitment and job search support device, recruitment device, or job search device according to the first embodiment. At least some of the functions of recruitment and job search support device 20, recruitment device 30, or job search device 40 can be implemented using a computer. As shown in the figure, the computer includes a central processing unit 901, RAM 902, an input / output port 903, input / output devices 904 and 905, and a bus 906. The computer itself can be implemented using existing technology. The central processing unit 901 executes instructions contained in a program read from RAM 902 or the like. In accordance with each instruction, the central processing unit 901 writes data to RAM 902, reads data from RAM 902, and performs arithmetic and logical operations. RAM 902 stores data and programs. Each element in RAM 902 has an address and can be accessed using the address. RAM is an abbreviation for "random access memory." Input / output port 903 is a port through which central processing unit 901 exchanges data with external input / output devices. Input / output devices 904 and 905 are input / output devices. Input / output devices 904 and 905 exchange data with central processing unit 901 via input / output port 903. Bus 906 is a common communication path used within the computer. For example, central processing unit 901 reads and writes data from RAM 902 via bus 906. Also, for example, central processing unit 901 accesses an input / output port via bus 906. Furthermore, all or part of the functional units provided in recruitment and job search support device 20, recruitment device 30, or job search device 40 may be realized using hardware such as ASIC, PLD, or FPGA. Furthermore, all or part of the functional units may be realized by a combination of software and hardware.

[0089] [Summary of the first embodiment] According to the above-described embodiment, the recruitment information acquisition unit 251 of the job recruitment support device 20 acquires recruitment information including at least information about the recruiter 3 and the job seeker 4, the working conditions notice creation unit 254 creates a working conditions notice based on the acquired recruitment information, the presentation unit 252 presents the working conditions notice created by the working conditions notice creation unit 254 to the recruiter 3 whose information is included in the recruitment information acquired by the recruitment information acquisition unit 251, the finalized information acquisition unit 253 acquires information indicating that the contents of the working conditions notice have been finalized as a result of the recruiter 3 confirming the working conditions notice presented by the presentation unit 252, and the notification unit 255 notifies the job seeker 4 whose information is included in the recruitment information acquired by the recruitment information acquisition unit 251 of the finalized working conditions notice after the finalized information acquisition unit 253 acquires information indicating that the contents of the working conditions notice have been finalized. According to this embodiment, by adopting such a configuration, a draft version of the working conditions notice can be automatically created. According to this embodiment, a draft version of the notice of working conditions is automatically created, which reduces the burden on the employer 3 and allows both the employer and the job seeker to determine their work schedules in a convenient manner.

[0090] [Second embodiment] Next, a second embodiment will be described with reference to Figures 10 to 14. In the second embodiment, a multiple-user simultaneous contract function 6 will be described.

[0091] 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the second embodiment. A series of flows of the multiple person simultaneous contract function 6 will be explained with reference to the same figure.

[0092] (Step S611) First, job information is posted by recruiter / job seeker supporter 2. This step involves the same processing as step S515 described above. The job information may be posted on a job information posting site independently operated by recruiter / job seeker supporter 2, or may be posted through another platform.

[0093] (Step S612) Here, this embodiment differs from the first embodiment in that multiple job seekers 4 can apply at the same time. In the following description, the job seeker 4 who actually applies will be referred to as the first job seeker 4-1, and the job seeker 4 who also applies will be referred to as the second job seeker 4-2. When applying, the first job seeker 4-1 provides information identifying the second job seeker 4-2 to the recruiting / job seeking supporter 2. Furthermore, the device operated by the first job seeker 4-1 will sometimes be referred to as the job seeking device 40-1, and the device operated by the second job seeker 4-2 will sometimes be referred to as the job seeking device 40-2.

[0094] (Step S613) When a job seeker 4 applies, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 determines whether multiple people have applied.

[0095] (Step S614) If multiple applications have not been made (i.e., step S613; NO), normal processing is carried out. Description of normal processing is omitted. If multiple applications have been made (i.e., step S613; YES), processing proceeds to step S615.

[0096] (Step S615) If multiple applications have been made, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 inquires of the second job seeker 4-2 indicated in the application made by the first job seeker 4-1 whether or not he / she intends to apply for the job vacancy identified by the first job seeker 4-1.

[0097] (Step S616) In response to the inquiry from the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2, the second job seeker 4-2 replies that he / she intends to apply.

[0098] (Step S617) Here, if multiple simultaneous applications are submitted by the first job seeker 4-1, which may be three or more, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 will compile the multiple simultaneous applicants indicated in the application submitted by the first job seeker 4-1.

[0099] (Step S618) After summarizing the simultaneous applicants, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 presents the applicants to the recruiter 3. Here, all of the multiple simultaneous applicants indicated in the application submitted by the first job seeker 4-1 may be presented, or only the applicants who responded in step S616 that they intend to apply may be presented.

[0100] (Step S619) The employer 3 determines whether to hire or reject the job seeker 4 based on the information from the recruiting job seeker supporter 2. The hiring decision in step S619 differs from step S518 described above in that it targets multiple job seekers 4. The employer 3 may hire all job seekers 4 who have applied at once, or may hire only some of the multiple job seekers 4 who have applied.

[0101] (Step S620) The recruiter 3 sends the results of its decision on whether to hire or reject the applications of multiple job seekers 4 to the recruiter and job seeker supporter 2.

[0102] (Step S621) The recruiter and job seeker supporter 2 sends the results of the decision as to whether the job seekers 4 (in the illustrated example, the first job seeker 4-1 and the second job seeker 4-2) who applied simultaneously to the recruiter 3 were hired or rejected.

[0103] Next, an example of a screen configuration displayed on the job seeking device 40 will be described with reference to FIGS.

[0104] 11 is a first diagram showing an example of a screen configuration when a job seeker applies for a job using the system according to the second embodiment. Reference numeral D61 is a diagram showing an example of a screen configuration displayed on the job search device 40-1 operated by the first job seeker 4-1. Reference numeral D61 includes reference numerals D611, D612, and D613 as screen configurations.

[0105] Job information is displayed in code D611. The first job seeker 4-1 checks the job information displayed in code D611 and decides whether or not to apply. Code D612 is a button for applying alone. Code D613 is a button for applying together with multiple people. The first job seeker 4-1 applies for the job displayed in code D611 by operating code D612 or code D613.

[0106] Fig. 12 is a second diagram showing an example of a screen configuration when a job seeker applies for a job using the system according to the second embodiment. Reference numeral D62 is a diagram showing an example of a screen configuration displayed on the job search device 40-1 operated by the first job seeker 4-1. When reference numeral D613 shown in Fig. 11 is operated, the screen of reference numeral D62 shown in Fig. 12 is displayed. Reference numeral D62 includes reference numerals D621 and D622 as screen configurations.

[0107] Since symbols D621 and D622 have the same components, only symbol D621 will be described. The illustrated example shows a case where information on two people applying at the same time can be entered, but by providing symbol D62n (n is a natural number of 1 or greater) not shown, it may be configured so that information on three or more people can be entered.

[0108] Reference symbol D621 includes reference symbols D621A and D621B as components. Reference symbol D621A is an input box for inputting the name of a person who will simultaneously apply. Reference symbol D621B is an input box for inputting the service ID of the person described in reference symbol D621A. By inputting the service ID into reference symbol D621B, information that has already been registered can be referenced, and the information can be automatically entered into reference symbol D621A. In other words, according to this embodiment, it is preferable that people who will simultaneously apply are already registered for the service.

[0109] Note that this embodiment is not limited to an example in which simultaneous applicants must already be registered with the service. For example, it is possible to configure the system so that prior service registration is not required by inputting the contact information (e.g., email addresses) of simultaneous applicants in the field D621.

[0110] 13 is a first diagram showing an example of a screen configuration displayed to other job seekers who have applied at the same time as one job seeker has applied using the system according to the second embodiment. Reference numeral D63 is a diagram showing an example of a screen configuration displayed by the job search device 40-2 operated by the second job seeker 4-2. Reference numeral D63 can also be said to be an example of a display screen displayed in response to the inquiry in step S615 described above. Reference numeral D63 comprises reference numerals D631, D633, and D633 as a screen configuration.

[0111] Code D631 displays job information. The content displayed in code D631 may be the same as the content displayed in code D611 described above. Code D63 displays the fact that the second job seeker 4-2 has applied for the job posting displayed in code D631 and a message asking the user to decide whether or not to accept the application. Code D632 is a button for accepting the application. Code D633 is a button for rejecting the application. The second job seeker 4-2 indicates his or her intention as to whether or not to accept the application for the job posting displayed in code D631 by operating code D632 or code D633. The intention displayed by the second job seeker 4-2 is provided to the job seeker / job seeker supporter 2 in step S616 described above.

[0112] Note that the code D63 may also indicate information for identifying the first job seeker 4-1 who has applied. The code D63 may also indicate a message from the first job seeker 4-1. Specific examples of a message from the first job seeker 4-1 include, for example, a phrase to invite the second job seeker 4-2, or the reason for applying at the same time.

[0113] Furthermore, the code D63 may also include information identifying all of the people who applied at the same time as the first job seeker 4-1, the status of each application (whether the application was accepted or rejected), etc. Furthermore, the code D63 may also include comments, etc., from each of the people who applied at the same time as the first job seeker 4-1.

[0114] FIG. 14 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a recruitment and job search support device according to the second embodiment. Referring to FIG. 14, an example of the functional configuration of recruitment and job search support device 20 for implementing the multiple-person simultaneous contract function 6 described above will be described. The recruitment and job search support device 20 includes an application acquisition unit 261, an application intention confirmation unit 262, a multiple-person simultaneous contract control unit 263, an application notification unit 264, an employment decision information acquisition unit 265, an employment decision notification unit 266, and a recruitment and job search database 267. Each of these functional units is implemented using, for example, electronic circuits. Each functional unit may also include internal storage means such as semiconductor memory or a magnetic hard disk drive, as needed. Each function may also be implemented by a computer with a CPU and software. While the recruitment and job search database 267 is described as being included as part of the functional configuration of the recruitment and job search support device 20, it may also exist outside of the recruitment and job search support device 20, such as a virtual storage unit on the cloud. The job posting and job seeking database 267 may be the same as the job posting and job seeking database 256 described above.

[0115] The application acquisition unit 261 acquires applications from a first job seeker 4-1 for a job advertisement posted by a recruiter 3. The applications include applications from multiple job seekers including at least the first job seeker 4-1 and the second job seeker 4-2.

[0116] The application intention confirmation unit 262 confirms the intention to apply of the second job seeker 4-2 included in the application acquired by the application acquisition unit 261. Specifically, the application intention confirmation unit 262 presents the display screen of code D63 as described above to the job search device 40-2 and acquires a response, thereby confirming the intention to apply of the second job seeker 4-2.

[0117] The multiple-person simultaneous contract control unit 263 controls simultaneous contracts by multiple people. Specifically, the multiple-person simultaneous contract control unit 263 controls simultaneous contracts by multiple people by exchanging information with the application acquisition unit 261, the application intention confirmation unit 262, the application notification unit 264, the employment decision information acquisition unit 265, the employment decision notification unit 266, and the job offer / job seeker database 267.

[0118] When multiple people apply at the same time, the application notification unit 264 notifies the recruiting party 3 of the applications. When multiple people apply at the same time, some of the applications may be rejected. However, the first job seeker 4-1 who applied has confirmed that he or she will apply. Therefore, the application notification unit 264 notifies the recruiting party 3 of information related to at least the application of the first job seeker 4-1 from among the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261. The application notification unit 264 further notifies the recruiting party 3 of information related to applications for which the application intention has been confirmed by the application intention confirmation unit 262.

[0119] The employment decision information acquisition unit 265 acquires information from the employer 3 including the results of the decision made by the employer 3 as to whether or not to employ the job seeker 4, based on the information notified by the application notification unit 264.

[0120] The hiring decision notification unit 266 notifies the job seekers 4 (in one example, the first job seeker 4-1 and the second job seeker 4-2) included in the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261 of the result of the decision made by the employer 3 as to whether or not to hire the job seekers 4.

[0121] The timing of the hiring decision made by the recruiter 3 is arbitrary. For example, the hiring decision made by the recruiter 3 may be made after confirming the intention to apply for all of the multiple simultaneous applications. In this case, the hiring decision information acquisition unit 265 may acquire information on whether or not to hire the job seeker 4 after the application notification unit 264 has notified the application acquisition unit 261 that it has confirmed the intention of all job seekers 4 included in the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261. The application notification unit 264 may notify the recruiter 3 of the applications in the order in which the intention to apply is confirmed, or may notify the recruiter 3 of the applications after the intention to apply for all applications has been confirmed.

[0122] In other words, by notifying the recruiter 3 of an application each time an intention to apply is confirmed, the recruiter 3 may make hiring decisions in the order in which the intention to apply is confirmed. In this case, the application notification unit 264 may notify the recruiter 3 in order, starting with the job seeker 4 whose intention to apply has been confirmed by the application intention confirmation unit 262, and the hiring decision notification unit 266 may notify each job seeker 4 in order, starting with the job seeker 4 whose intention to apply has been confirmed by the application intention confirmation unit 262, of the decision made by the recruiter 3 as to whether or not to hire them. By notifying the recruiter 3 of an application each time an intention to apply is confirmed, the recruiter 3 can be notified as soon as possible that an application has been received from a job seeker 4.

[0123] Furthermore, after the intention to apply for all applications has been confirmed, the recruiter 3 may be notified of the applications, allowing the recruiter 3 to make an employment decision for each job seeker 4. In this case, the application notification unit 264 may notify the recruiter 3 after confirming the intention of all job seekers 4 included in the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261, and the employment decision notification unit 266 may simultaneously notify each job seeker 4 of the decision made by the recruiter 3 as to whether or not to employ each job seeker 4 whose intention to apply has been confirmed by the application intention confirmation unit 262. By notifying the recruiter 3 of the applications after the intention to apply for all applications has been confirmed, the recruiter 3 can reduce the effort required to make a decision for each job seeker 4.

[0124] In addition, the setting of whether to notify the employer 3 of an application each time the intention to apply is confirmed, or to notify the employer 3 of an application after the intention to apply for all applications has been confirmed, may be changeable by the employer 3 at will.

[0125] In addition, when multiple people apply simultaneously, some job seekers 4 may not want to work if only certain people are hired and certain others are rejected. Therefore, at the time of application, confirmation may be made as to whether or not the job seeker will work even if he or she is not hired along with other simultaneous applicants. In this case, the application acquisition unit 261 may also acquire from the first job seeker 4-1 an intention to not accept employment if not all of the multiple job seekers 4 who applied simultaneously are hired but one is, or to accept employment even if one of the multiple job seekers 4 who applied simultaneously is hired. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to communicate the intention of the job seeker 4 to the employer 3 in advance, making it possible to prevent cancellations after employment has been confirmed.

[0126] Furthermore, the recruiting party 3 may be configured to be able to know which job seeker 4 has proactively applied when making a hiring decision. In this case, the application notification unit 264 may also notify the recruiting party 3 of information indicating which job seeker 4, among multiple job seekers 4 who applied at the same time, is the first job seeker 4-1 who applied. It can also be said that a job seeker 4 who has proactively applied has a strong desire to work. Therefore, the recruiting party 3 can make a hiring decision taking such information into consideration.

[0127] [Summary of the second embodiment] According to the above-described embodiment, the recruitment and job search support device 20 is provided with an application acquisition unit 261, which acquires applications for a recruitment posted by a recruiter 3 from a first job seeker 4-1 for a plurality of job seekers including at least a first job seeker 4-1 and a second job seeker 4-2; an application intention confirmation unit 262 which confirms the intention of application of a second job seeker 4-2 included in the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261; and an application notification unit 264 which notifies the application of at least the application of the first job seeker 4-1 among the applications acquired by the application acquisition unit 261. The employment decision information acquisition unit 265 notifies the recruiter 3 of information regarding the recruitment and information regarding the application for which the intention has been confirmed by the application intention confirmation unit 262, and by including the employment decision information acquisition unit 265, acquires information including the result of the decision made by the recruiter 3 as to whether or not to hire the job seeker 4 based on the information notified by the application notification unit 264, and by including the employment decision notification unit 266, notifies the job seeker 4 included in the application acquired by the application acquisition unit 261 of the result of the decision made by the recruiter 3 as to whether or not to hire the job seeker 4. By adopting such a configuration, the recruitment and job search support device 20 can realize the multiple person simultaneous contract function 6. Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the multiple person simultaneous contract function 6 allows the recruiter 3 and the job seeker 4 to each appropriately decide on their work schedule.

[0128] [Third embodiment] Next, a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 15 to 20. In the third embodiment, the substitute registration function 7 will be described. In the following description, an example will be described in which a first job seeker 4-1 registers a second job seeker 4-2 as a substitute. A substitute is a person who works in place of the job seeker 4 when, after a work schedule has been confirmed between the employer 3 and the job seeker 4, the job seeker 4 is unable to work due to certain circumstances. A substitute can also be called a pinch hitter. In the following description, a case will be described in which the first job seeker 4-1 and the second job seeker 4-2 are strangers, but they may also be acquainted with each other.

[0129] 15 is a first flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the third embodiment. With reference to the same figure, an example of the flow of the substitute registration function 7 before the recruiter 3 posts a job advertisement, i.e., the flow of pre-registering a substitute, will be described.

[0130] (Step S711) First, the first job seeker 4-1 logs into the service using his / her service ID and clicks the "pinch hitter registration button (substitute registration button)" displayed on his / her personal page.

[0131] (Step S712) Thereafter, the first job seeker 4-1 searches for stores where he or she has worked in the past. Here, it is preferable that the first job seeker 4-1 can register as a substitute at a store where he or she has worked in the past. This is because the need for a substitute may arise suddenly, and it is preferable that the person who can serve as a substitute is familiar with the target workplace.

[0132] (Step S713) Next, the first job seeker 4-1 selects a store where he or she has worked in the past and clicks the "pinch hitter application button (substitute application button)."

[0133] (Step S714) The first job seeker 4-1 applies to the recruiter 2 to act as a pinch hitter (substitute).

[0134] (Step S715) Based on the information in the application, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 sends a pinch hitter application (substitute application) to the target recruiter 3.

[0135] (Step S716) The recruiter 3 checks the pinch hitter application (substitute application) and determines whether to approve or reject the first job seeker 4-1 who made the application as a substitute.

[0136] (Step S717) The recruiting party 3 sends the result of its decision to the recruiting / job seeking supporter 2 as to whether to approve or reject the first job seeker 4-1 as a substitute.

[0137] (Step S718) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 sends the result of the decision made by the recruiter 3 as to whether to approve or deny the first job seeker 4-1 who has applied to be a pinch hitter (substitute).

[0138] In the illustrated example, a case where one person is registered as a substitute has been described, but multiple substitutes may be pre-registered for one job posting made by the recruiter 3. Furthermore, pre-registration of substitutes may be performed for each job posting (for a specific job posting), or for each recruiter 3 (for a specific recruiter 3).

[0139] 16 is a second flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the third embodiment. With reference to the same figure, an example of the flow of the substitute registration function 7, that is, the flow when a determination is made as to whether or not a substitute will be applied after the employer 3 posts a job advertisement, that is, the flow when an event occurs that causes the second job seeker 4-2 to want to cancel, will be described. Note that the flow from when the employer 3 posts a job advertisement until the hiring of the second job seeker 4-2 is confirmed is the same as the flow described with reference to FIG. 3.

[0140] (Step S721) After the above-mentioned pre-registration of a substitute, an event occurs in which the second job seeker 4-2 wishes to cancel work that has already been scheduled. The event of wanting to cancel occurs between the time the employment is confirmed and the day of work. In actual operation, the period during which the job seeker 4 can cancel may be set, such as up to a few hours before the scheduled work day.

[0141] In the conventional method, when an event that requires cancellation occurs, the second job seeker 4-2 must submit a cancellation request to the employer 3, and the employer 3 must then begin searching for a replacement. However, according to this embodiment, since a replacement has already been registered, it is possible to select a suitable person from among those who have registered replacements as the replacement.

[0142] (Step S722) The second job seeker 4-2 logs in to the service using his / her service ID, checks his / her personal page, selects the job offer that has already been confirmed, and clicks the "cancel button" to select the job offer that he / she wishes to cancel.

[0143] (Step S723) The second job seeker 4-2 selects the job offer he or she wishes to cancel, thereby specifying the job offer, and inquires of the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 whether or not a substitute has been registered in advance.

[0144] (Step S724) Recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 checks whether a substitute has been registered in advance for the job offer that has been inquired about.

[0145] (Step S725) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 checks whether a substitute has been registered in advance and sends the result to the second job seeker 4-2.

[0146] (Step S726) Next, if a substitute has been registered in advance, a "Pinch hitter request button (substitute request button)" will be displayed on the My Page of the second job seeker 4-2. If a substitute has not been registered in advance, this button will not be displayed and the job cannot be canceled by appointing a substitute.

[0147] (Step S727) The second job seeker 4-2 indicates his / her intention to be a substitute by operating the "pinch hitter request button (substitute request button)."

[0148] (Step S728) The second job seeker 4-2 notifies the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 of his / her intention to request a substitute.

[0149] Fig. 17 is a third flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the third embodiment. This figure is a continuation of the flow shown in Fig. 16. Next, an example of the flow of the substitute registration function 7, which is the flow when a determination is made as to whether or not a substitute is applicable after the employer 3 posts a job advertisement, that is, the flow when an event occurs that makes the second job seeker 4-2 want to cancel, will be described.

[0150] (Step S731) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 requests a first job seeker 4-1 who has been registered as a substitute in advance for the job offer that has been cancelled. If multiple substitutes have been registered for the job offer, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 requests each of the multiple job seekers 4 to act as a substitute. In this case, the requests for substitutes may be made in order (until a substitute is confirmed) based on a predetermined priority order.

[0151] (Step S732) The first job seeker 4-1 who has received the request to act as a substitute selects the "apply for employment" button on his / her personal page for the job posting for which he / she is to act as a substitute.

[0152] (Step S733) When the "Apply for Candidacy" button is selected, the first job seeker 4-1 applies to the recruiting supporter 2 to apply for candidacy.

[0153] (Step S734) When the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 receives the application for candidacy, the recruiter 3 that posted the job for which a substitute is being offered identifies the job seeker 4 who has applied to be a substitute and requests confirmation as to whether the substitute will be approved or denied. If multiple job seekers 4 have applied to be a substitute, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 provides the recruiter 3 with information on the multiple job seekers 4 who have applied to be a substitute.

[0154] (Step S735) The employer 3 checks the second job seeker 4-2 who has applied for cancellation and the first job seeker 4-1 who has applied to be a substitute, and determines whether to approve or reject the substitute. If multiple job seekers 4 have applied to be a substitute, the employer 3 may select which one to choose as the substitute.

[0155] (Step S736) The recruiter 3 notifies the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 of the result of its decision as to whether to approve or reject the substitute. If multiple job seekers 4 apply to be substitutes, the recruiter 3 may also notify the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 of information regarding which person will be selected as the substitute.

[0156] (Step S737) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 notifies the second job seeker 4-2 and the first job seeker 4-1 of the result of the recruiter's 3 decision to approve or deny the substitute.

[0157] FIG. 18 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the type of work and the hourly wage according to the third embodiment. Here, substitutes may be pre-registered as described above, and an incentive may be provided for becoming a substitute to motivate them to apply to be a substitute. For example, the hourly wage for performing regular work and the hourly wage for working as a substitute may be different from each other. The diagram shows examples of the hourly wage for performing regular work and the hourly wage for working as a substitute.

[0158] Specifically, the hourly wage for regular work is 1,200 yen, and the hourly wage for working as a substitute is 1,440 yen. In other words, the hourly wage for working as a substitute is set to be 20% higher. The difference may be borne by the employer 3 in exchange for saving the employer 3 the trouble of finding a substitute, or it may be borne by the second job seeker 4-2 as a penalty for the second job seeker 4-2's cancellation. Alternatively, the employer 3 and the second job seeker 4-2 may each bear a portion of the cost.

[0159] FIG. 19 is a diagram showing an example of the relationship between the type of cancellation and the penalty according to the third embodiment. Here, different penalties may be imposed depending on the type of cancellation, so that a second job seeker 4-2 who wants to cancel will be motivated to find a substitute and cancel rather than making a normal cancellation. For example, different penalties may be imposed for a normal cancellation without finding a substitute and a cancellation made by finding a substitute. The diagram shows the penalties for a normal cancellation without finding a substitute and a cancellation made by finding a substitute.

[0160] Specifically, if a normal cancellation is made without arranging a replacement, the second job seeker 4-2 may be penalized by being restricted from applying for a job. Furthermore, if a cancellation is made with a replacement, no penalty may be imposed. By imposing a heavier penalty on cancellations without a replacement than on cancellations with a replacement, cancellations without a replacement can be reduced. This system reduces the effort required for employers 3 to fill gaps in shifts caused by sudden cancellations.

[0161] FIG. 20 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a recruitment and job search support device according to the third embodiment. An example of the functional configuration of recruitment and job search support device 20 for implementing substitute registration function 7 as described above will be described below. Recruitment and job search support device 20 includes a substitute application acquisition unit 271, a work history database 272, an experience acquisition unit 273, an approval confirmation unit 274, a substitute database 2741, a cancellation request acquisition unit 275, a substitute registration confirmation unit 276, an inquiry unit 277, a substitute determination unit 278, a salary calculation unit 2791, and a penalty assignment unit 2792. Each of these functional units is implemented using, for example, electronic circuits. Each functional unit may also include internal storage means such as semiconductor memory or a magnetic hard disk drive, as necessary. Each function may also be implemented by a computer with a CPU and software. Although the work history database 272 and the substitute database 2741 are described as being included as part of the functional configuration of the recruitment and job search support device 20, they may also exist outside the recruitment and job search support device 20, such as in a virtual memory unit on the cloud.

[0162] In the illustrated example, the job search device 40-1 is the job search device 40 used by the first job seeker 4-1 who has pre-registered a substitute, and the job search device 40-2 is the job search device 40 used by the second job seeker 4-2 who has encountered an event that he or she wishes to cancel.

[0163] The substitute application acquisition unit 271 acquires a substitute application from the job search device 40-1. A substitute application is an application made by a job seeker 4 to a specific job recruiter 3. A substitute application can also be said to be an application to act as a substitute for a worker employed by the job recruiter 3.

[0164] The work history database 272 stores the work history of the job seeker 4 who has made work plans and performed work using the system 1. The work history database 272 may acquire information in cooperation with other platforms.

[0165] When the substitute application acquisition unit 271 acquires a substitute application, the experience acquisition unit 273 acquires information from the work history database 272 about the past employment experience of the job seeker 4 indicated in the substitute application by the employer 3 (in this case, the past employment experience of the first job seeker 4-1 by the employer 3).

[0166] The approval confirmation unit 274 presents to the employer 3 information about the job seeker 4 (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) who has submitted a substitute application, and information about the past employment experience of the job seeker 4 (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) by the employer 3 indicated in the substitute application. Note that since the system 1 includes multiple employers 3, the approval confirmation unit 274 presents the information to the specific employer 3 indicated in the substitute application. The approval confirmation unit 274 confirms whether or not the job seeker 4 (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) who has submitted a substitute application should be approved as a substitute. As a result of the confirmation, the approval confirmation unit 274 registers information about the job seeker 4 who has been approved as a substitute by the employer 3 in the substitute database 2741.

[0167] The functional units described above are those for pre-registering a substitute. Below, we will explain the functional units for carrying out processing after an event that you want to cancel has occurred.

[0168] The cancellation request acquisition unit 275 acquires a request for cancellation of work from a job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) who has applied for a job offer made by a job recruiter 3 and is scheduled to work in the future.

[0169] The substitute registration confirmation unit 276 confirms whether a substitute has been registered in advance for the job offer indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275. The substitute registration confirmation unit 276 may confirm the presence or absence of a substitute by inquiring about information from the substitute database 2741 described above. In the substitute database 2741, there may be cases where a person who has previously been employed by the employer 3 indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275 and who has applied to act as a substitute for the employer is registered as a substitute. Therefore, the substitute database 2741 may confirm the presence or absence of a substitute by searching the substitute database 2741 using the employer 3 indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275 as a key.

[0170] If the substitute registration confirmation unit 276 confirms that a substitute has been registered, the inquiry unit 277 makes an inquiry to each of the one or more substitutes registered for the job offer indicated in the cancellation request. The inquiry includes an inquiry as to whether or not it is possible for the substitute to work in place of the job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) indicated in the request acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275.

[0171] The substitute determination unit 278 determines which of one or more substitutes registered for the job offer will work in place of the job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) indicated in the cancellation request, in accordance with the response to the inquiry made by the inquiry unit 277. If there are multiple substitute candidates, the substitute determination unit 278 may make an inquiry to the employer 3 to confirm which substitute candidate to nominate as the substitute.

[0172] The salary calculation unit 2791 pays a higher salary to the substitute job seeker 4 (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) for working as a substitute than for working normally. An example of the salary calculation method is as described with reference to FIG. 18.

[0173] The penalty granting unit 2792 grants different penalties to the job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation application acquisition unit 275 depending on whether the cancellation is confirmed because a substitute is found or not. An example of the penalty to be granted is as described with reference to FIG. 19.

[0174] [Summary of the third embodiment] According to the above-described embodiment, the job recruitment and job search support device 20 includes a substitute application acquisition unit 271 that acquires substitute applications, which are applications made to a specific recruiter 3 to substitute for a worker 4 employed by the recruiter 3. The experience acquisition unit 273 acquires information about the job seeker's past employment experience by the recruiter 3 indicated in the substitute application acquired by the substitute application acquisition unit 271. The approval confirmation unit 274 presents information about the job seeker 4 who submitted the substitute application and information about the job seeker's past employment experience by the recruiter 3 indicated in the substitute application to the recruiter 3 indicated in the substitute application, and confirms whether or not to approve the job seeker 4 who submitted the substitute application as a substitute. This configuration allows the job seeker 4 to be registered as a substitute (pinch hitter) for a spot job. Furthermore, the job recruitment and job search support device 20 can refer to the job seeker's past work history and register the job seeker 4 as a substitute (pinch hitter) based on the job seeker's work history, for example, after the job seeker 4 finishes a long-term part-time job. Therefore, according to this embodiment, even if a change occurs in the work schedule after the employer and the job seeker have decided on the work schedule, the schedule can be suitably revised.

[0175] It should be noted that a job seeker 4 registered as a substitute may be given priority in receiving a notification when a job offer is issued by the target employer 3. By adopting such a configuration, it is possible to encourage the job seeker 4 to register as a substitute.

[0176] The cancellation request acquisition unit 275 acquires a request for work cancellation from a job seeker 4 who has applied for a job offer made by a job recruiter 3 and is scheduled to work in the future, the substitute registration confirmation unit 276 verifies whether a substitute has been registered in advance for the job offer indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275, the inquiry unit 277 inquires of each of one or more substitutes registered for the job offer as to whether they are able to work in place of the job seeker 4 indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275, and the substitute determination unit 278 determines which of the one or more substitutes registered for the job offer will work in place of the job seeker 4 indicated in the cancellation request acquired by the cancellation request acquisition unit 275, in accordance with the response to the inquiry made by the inquiry unit 277. By employing such a configuration, according to this embodiment, the job recruiter and the job seeker can preferably revise their work plans even if changes occur to the plans after they have been decided.

[0177] [Fourth embodiment] Next, a fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. 21 and 22. In the fourth embodiment, the substitute recommendation function 8 will be described. In the following description, an example will be described in which an event occurs that causes a second job seeker 4-2 to want to cancel an already confirmed job offer. This embodiment differs from the third embodiment in that it is not necessary to register a substitute in advance (in other words, it is possible to request a substitute even if a substitute has not been registered in advance). In the following description, the person who will substitute for the second job seeker 4-2 in the event that causes a job seeker to want to cancel will sometimes be referred to as the first job seeker 4-1.

[0178] In the following explanation, it is preferable that the first job seeker 4-1 and the second job seeker 4-2 are acquainted with each other. By having the trustworthy first job seeker 4-1 act as his / her substitute, the second job seeker 4-2 can cancel his / her plans without causing any inconvenience to the employer 3.

[0179] 21 is a flowchart showing the flow of the system according to the fourth embodiment. With reference to the same figure, an example of the flow of the substitute recommendation function 8 will be described, which is a case where an event occurs in which the second job seeker 4-2 wants to cancel the plan after the employer 3 posts a job offer and before the day the work is scheduled to take place.

[0180] (Step S811) First, an event occurs that makes the second job seeker 4-2 want to cancel work that has already been scheduled. The event that makes the second job seeker 4 want to cancel occurs between the time that employment is confirmed and the day of work. In actual operation, the period during which the job seeker 4 can cancel may be set to, for example, up to a few hours before the scheduled work day.

[0181] (Step S812) The second job seeker 4-2 logs in to the service using his / her service ID, checks his / her personal page, selects the job offer that has already been confirmed, and clicks the "Cancel button" to select the job offer that he / she wishes to cancel. Note that steps S811 and S812 may be the same as steps S721 and S722 described above.

[0182] (Step S813) The second job seeker 4-2 indicates his / her desire to have a substitute by operating the "referral request button" displayed on his / her personal page. The substitute recommendation function 8 according to this embodiment differs from the substitute registration function 7 described in the third embodiment in that the second job seeker 4-2 finds and recommends a substitute himself / herself. In this embodiment, the second job seeker 4-2 may register a substitute before the event that he / she wishes to cancel occurs. If a substitute has been registered in advance, the approval step by the employer 3 and the first job seeker 4-1 described below may also be performed in advance.

[0183] (Step S814) The second job seeker 4-2 inputs the service ID of the person he / she recommends as a substitute. Note that the following explanation is based on the premise that the person he / she recommends as a substitute has been registered with the service in advance. However, this embodiment is not limited to this example, and the person he / she recommends as a substitute does not have to be registered with the service. In this case, the second job seeker 4-2 may input information identifying the person he / she recommends as a substitute, such as an email address, a telephone number, or an ID of another service, in this step.

[0184] (Step S815) The second job seeker 4-2 makes a request to the recruiting job seeker supporter 2 to introduce a substitute.

[0185] (Step S816) When the job seeker supporter 2 receives the request to introduce a substitute from the second job seeker 4-2, the job seeker supporter 2 inquires the first job seeker 4-1 specified in the request to introduce a substitute as to whether he or she approves or disapproves of being the substitute.

[0186] (Step S817) When the first job seeker 4-1 receives an inquiry from the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 about whether to approve or deny being a substitute, the first job seeker 4-1 checks detailed information about the job offer identified by the inquiry. The first job seeker 4-1 checks the details of the job offer information and considers whether to approve or deny being a substitute.

[0187] (Step S818) The first job seeker 4-1 notifies the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 of the result of their consideration of whether to approve or deny the substitution. If the first job seeker 4-1 denies the request, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 notifies the second job seeker 4-2 of this and the process ends. In this case, the second job seeker 4-2 does not cancel the plan or performs a normal cancellation.

[0188] (Step S819) If the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 approves that the first job seeker 4-1 will act as a substitute, the recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 inquires the recruiter 3 as to whether to approve or deny the first job seeker 4-1 working as a substitute for the second job seeker 4-2.

[0189] (Step S820) The employer 3 checks the information of the first job seeker 4-1 and considers whether to approve or deny the first job seeker 4-1 working as a substitute for the second job seeker 4-2.

[0190] (Step S821) The recruiter 3 notifies the recruiter and job seeker supporter 2 of the results of its consideration as to whether to approve or deny the first job seeker 4-1 working as a substitute for the second job seeker 4-2.

[0191] (Step S822) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 notifies the second job seeker 4-2 of the results of the review conducted by the recruiter 3.

[0192] (Step S823) The recruiter / job seeker supporter 2 also notifies the first job seeker 4-1 of the results of the review conducted by the recruiter 3.

[0193] FIG. 22 is a functional configuration diagram showing an example of the functional configuration of a recruitment and job search support device according to the fourth embodiment. An example of the functional configuration of recruitment and job search support device 20 for implementing substitute recommendation function 8 as described above will be described. Recruitment and job search support device 20 includes a substitute candidate application acquisition unit 281, an approval confirmation unit 282, a substitute database 283, a cancellation request acquisition unit 284, a substitute confirmation unit 285, a presentation unit 286, a work schedule database 287, a penalty assignment unit 288, and a salary calculation unit 289. Each of these functional units is implemented using, for example, electronic circuits. Each functional unit may also include internal storage means such as semiconductor memory or a magnetic hard disk drive, as necessary. Each function may also be implemented by a computer with a CPU and software. While the substitute database 283 and the work schedule database 287 are described as being included as part of the functional configuration of recruitment and job search support device 20, they may also exist outside of recruitment and job search support device 20, such as in a virtual storage unit on the cloud.

[0194] The substitute candidate application acquisition unit 281 acquires a substitute candidate application from a job seeker 4. A substitute candidate application is an application made by a job seeker 4 to a specific employer 3. A substitute candidate application is an application for a candidate to substitute for the applying job seeker 4, and includes at least information identifying the substitute. A substitute candidate application may be set for each job offer, or may apply to all work that the job seeker 4 is scheduled to do. When a substitute candidate application applies to all work that the job seeker 4 is scheduled to do, the substitute candidate application only needs to indicate at least the correspondence between the job seeker 4 and the job seeker 4 who will substitute for that job seeker 4.

[0195] The approval confirmation unit 282 inquires of the employer 3 as to whether it is okay to assign a substitute for the job seeker 4. Specifically, the approval confirmation unit 282 presents candidates for substitute job seekers 4 to the employer 3 indicated in the substitute candidate applications acquired by the substitute candidate application acquisition unit 281, and confirms whether the substitute will be approved to replace the job seeker 4 who made the substitute candidate application. The approval confirmation unit 282 may confirm whether the employer 3 will approve the substitute before the job seeker applies to cancel work, or may confirm whether the job seeker will approve the substitute after the job seeker applies to cancel work. The approval confirmation unit 282 registers information about the job seeker 4 who has been approved as a substitute by the employer 3 as a result of the confirmation in the substitute database 283.

[0196] The substitute database 283 stores the correspondence between the job seeker 4 and the substitute. The substitute database 283 may also store restrictions on who can act as a substitute (for example, when substitutes are permitted with restrictions on the type of job, etc.).

[0197] The cancellation request acquisition unit 284 acquires a cancellation request from the second job seeker 4-2 when an event occurs that makes the second job seeker 4-2 want to cancel. The second job seeker 4-2 can also be said to be a person who has applied for a job offer made by the employer 3 and is scheduled to work in the future. A cancellation request can also be said to be a request to cancel scheduled work.

[0198] When the cancellation application acquisition unit 284 acquires an application for work cancellation, the substitute determination unit 285 determines, in place of the job seeker 4 indicated in the application (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2), a person who has been confirmed by the approval confirmation unit 282 to approve the substitution (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1), as a substitute. The substitute determination unit 285 notifies the employer 3 of information about the confirmed substitute as substitute confirmation information.

[0199] The presentation unit 286 presents the work schedule of the job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) to a person (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) who will be substituting for the job seeker 4. In other words, the substituting first job seeker 4-1 can check the schedule of the second job seeker 4-2 in advance to confirm the dates on which he or she may work as a substitute.

[0200] The work schedule database 287 stores the work schedule of the job seeker 4. The presentation unit 286 refers to the work schedule database 287 to search for the schedule of the second job seeker 4-2 and presents it to the first job seeker 4-1.

[0201] The penalty granting unit 288 grants different penalties to the job seeker 4 (in this case, the second job seeker 4-2) indicated in the application acquired by the cancellation application acquisition unit 284, depending on whether the cancellation is confirmed with a substitute or without a substitute. An example of the penalty to be granted is as described with reference to FIG. 19.

[0202] The salary calculation unit 289 pays a higher salary to the substitute job seeker 4 (in this case, the first job seeker 4-1) for working as a substitute than for working normally. An example of the salary calculation method is as described with reference to FIG. 18.

[0203] [Summary of the Fourth Embodiment] According to the above-described embodiment, the job recruitment and job search support device 20 includes a substitute candidate application acquisition unit 281 that acquires substitute candidate applications, which are applications from job seekers 4 to specific employers 3 for candidates to fill the shoes of the job seeker 4 and include at least information identifying the substitute. The approval confirmation unit 282 presents the substitute candidates to the employers 3 identified in the substitute candidate applications acquired by the substitute candidate application acquisition unit 281, and confirms whether or not to approve the substitutes as substitutes for the job seeker 4 who submitted the substitute candidate application. This configuration allows the job seeker 4 to recommend an acquaintance if they are unable to work on the day of a job offer for which they have been hired, thereby preventing them from canceling without finding a substitute. Therefore, according to this embodiment, the job seeker 4 can cancel plans without causing inconvenience to the employers 3. Furthermore, the employers 3 can reduce the effort required to post new job offers and reduce the need to create gaps in their shift schedules.

[0204] In addition, all or part of the functions of each unit of each device provided in the recruitment and job search support device 20, recruitment device 30, and job search device 40 in the above-mentioned embodiment may be realized by recording a program for realizing these functions on a computer-readable recording medium, and reading and executing the program recorded on this recording medium into a computer system. Note that the term "computer system" here includes hardware such as an OS and peripheral devices.

[0205] Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" refers to portable media such as flexible disks, optical magnetic disks, ROMs, and CD-ROMs, as well as storage units such as hard disks built into computer systems. Furthermore, "computer-readable recording media" may also include devices that dynamically store programs for a short period of time, such as communication lines when transmitting programs over networks like the Internet or communication lines like telephone lines, or devices that store programs for a fixed period of time, such as volatile memory within computer systems that serve as servers or clients in such cases. Furthermore, the above-mentioned programs may be programs that realize some of the aforementioned functions, or may be programs that can realize the aforementioned functions in combination with programs already stored in the computer system.

[0206] Although the embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiments, and various modifications can be made without departing from the spirit of the present invention. Furthermore, it is also possible to combine multiple embodiments described above. [Explanation of symbols]
