Description

[Technical Field]

[0001] The present invention relates to a job matching system. [Background technology]

[0002] BACKGROUND ART Conventionally, a job matching system is known that distributes job information from recruiters to information terminals of job seekers and matches jobs between job seekers and recruiters (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

[0003] The job matching system in Patent Document 1 is equipped with a storage unit that stores data for settling travel expenses from the location of the employer to the workplace. By storing the data, the employer can settling travel expenses. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0004] [Patent Document 1] Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2002-189875 Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0005] Although the job matching system disclosed in Patent Document 1 allows for the settlement of travel expenses, the job seeker is required to pay the travel expenses in advance. Therefore, if the work location is far away, the travel expenses become expensive, placing a heavy burden on the job seeker.

[0006] The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned problems, and its object is to provide a job matching system that can reduce the burden on job seekers. [Means for solving the problem]

[0007] The job matching system of the present invention is characterized by comprising a communications unit that communicates with the job seeker's information terminal, the employer's information terminal, and the transportation company's information terminal; a memory unit that stores information about the job seeker, the employer, and the transportation company; a matching control unit that distributes job information from the employer to the job seeker and sends the job seeker's information to one of the employers selected by the job seeker via the communications unit, thereby matching jobs between the job seeker and the employer; a contract management unit that manages the job contract agreed upon between the job seeker and the employer; and a transportation expense management unit that manages transportation expenses from the job seeker's location to the workplace, and the transportation expense management unit calculates the transportation expenses and, after the contract is concluded, sends ticket data provided by the transportation company to the job seeker via the communications unit.

[0008] According to this configuration, the matching control unit distributes job information from employers to job seekers and sends the job seeker's information to one employer selected by the job seeker via the communication unit, thereby matching jobs between the job seeker and the employer. After a contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer, the transportation expense management unit calculates the transportation expenses from the job seeker's location to the workplace and sends ticket data related to the job seeker's travel provided by the transportation company to the job seeker via the communication unit. This allows the job seeker to travel to the workplace without paying transportation expenses in advance, thereby reducing the burden on the job seeker. Furthermore, if a job seeker wants to work during their free time (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "spare time"), by signing a job contract through this job matching system, the travel expenses required for the trip can be covered by the job matching system, allowing them to enjoy traveling while working during their free time. Furthermore, since the job seeker does not have to purchase tickets themselves, this job matching system is easy for job seekers to use.

[0009] Another characteristic feature is that the system further includes a points management unit that calculates points according to the distance traveled by the job seeker, and the points management unit transmits the points to the job seeker via the communication unit after the contract is concluded.

[0010] According to this configuration, the points management unit calculates points according to the distance traveled by the job seeker, and after a contract is concluded, transmits the points to the job seeker via the communication unit. The more traveled the job seeker makes using the job matching system, the more points he or she can earn. Therefore, the points can increase motivation to use the job matching system to search for other job information, and can also increase the number of job seekers using the system. This allows employers to target a larger number of job seekers for employment.

[0011] Another characteristic feature is that the transportation cost management unit calculates the transportation costs based on the vacancy rate of the means of transportation provided by the transportation business operator.

[0012] According to this configuration, the transportation expense management unit calculates transportation expenses based on the vacancy rate of transportation means provided by the transportation company, which varies depending on the time of year, route, etc. Therefore, for example, transportation expenses can be calculated at a lower rate than the normal rate during the off-season. This allows the transportation expenses paid by the employer to the transportation company to be set at a lower rate, thereby reducing the burden on the employer. Furthermore, since the utilization rate of transportation means provided by the transportation company can be improved, it is also possible to increase the sales of the transportation company.

[0013] Another characteristic feature is that after the contract is concluded, the matching control unit further distributes job information related to online work offered by other employers based on the content of the contract and information about the job seeker.

[0014] According to this configuration, after a job contract is concluded between a job seeker and a recruiter, the matching control unit distributes job information related to online work offered by other recruiters based on the contents of the contract and the job seeker's information. This allows the job seeker to choose to work online without traveling during their spare time, such as outside of working hours for the job contracted with the recruiter or during travel time, thereby enabling them to effectively utilize their spare time by combining various jobs. Furthermore, by having the matching control unit distribute job information to such job seekers, job information can be distributed to a wider range of job seekers, not just those who are only interested in online work.

[0015] Another characteristic feature is that the travel agency further comprises an accommodation management unit that manages the accommodation of the job seeker, the communication unit communicates with the information terminal of the travel agency, and the accommodation management unit distributes information about accommodations near the workplace to the job seeker after the contract is concluded.

[0016] According to this configuration, after a job contract is concluded between a job seeker and a single employer, the accommodation management department distributes information about accommodations near the workplace to the job seeker, allowing the job seeker to select accommodations as an extension of operating the job matching system. This means that the job seeker does not need to close the job matching system and search for accommodations separately, making it an easy-to-use job matching system for job seekers.

[0018] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the job matching system according to the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. However, the present invention is not limited to the following embodiment, and various modifications are possible without departing from the spirit of the present invention.

[0019] [Overall structure] The job matching system according to this embodiment will be described using Figures 1 and 2. Figure 1 is an overall system diagram of the job matching system according to this embodiment. The job matching system is configured by connecting a platform 1, a job seeker's information terminal 2, a recruiter's information terminal 3, a transportation company's information terminal 4, and a travel company's information terminal 5, all of which are communicatively connected via a network 6 such as the Internet. The job seeker's information terminal 2 is, for example, a smartphone, tablet terminal, or computer. The recruiter's information terminal 3, the transportation company's information terminal 4, and the travel company's information terminal 5 are, for example, laptops, desktop computers, or the like.

[0020] Platform 1 communicates with information terminals 2, 3 of job seekers and employers to distribute job information to job seekers and match jobs between job seekers and employers. Platform 1 also communicates with information terminals 4, 5 of transportation companies and travel companies to transmit ticket data provided by transportation companies to job seekers and distribute accommodation information related to the job seeker's workplace. Therefore, the job matching system according to this embodiment is executed by platform 1.

[0021] [Platform] Each unit of the platform 1 will be described below. As shown in FIG. 2, the platform 1 includes a control unit 10, a communication unit 11, and a memory unit 12. The control unit 10 includes a processor and controls the operation of the platform 1, such as the communication unit 11 and the memory unit 12. As will be described later, the control unit 10 executes various operations of the job matching system by causing a matching control unit 13, a contract management unit 14, a transportation expense management unit 15, and a point management unit 16 to function. The processor includes an ASIC, an FPGA, a CPU, or other hardware for executing applications stored in the memory unit 12 (the same applies hereinafter).

[0022] The communication unit 11 is an interface for transmitting and receiving data via the network 6 to and from the information terminal 2 of the job seeker and the information terminal 3 of the recruiter.

[0023] The storage unit 12 is configured with a non-transitory storage medium such as an HDD or SSD, or a temporary storage medium such as RAM, and stores programs and applications executed by the processor. This storage unit 12 stores information about job seekers acquired via the communication unit 11 in the job seeker DB 20. The job seeker information includes, for example, the job seeker's name, age, gender, contact information, career history, work record, desired job type, number of working days, and work location. The job seeker DB 20 may store such job seeker information in association with a job seeker ID assigned to each job seeker.

[0024] Furthermore, the memory unit 12 stores the information on recruiters, transportation companies, and travel companies acquired via the communication unit 11 in the recruiter DB 30, transportation company DB 40, and travel company DB 50, respectively. The recruiter information includes, for example, the name or title of the recruiter, their location or workplace, contact information, payment information, and recruitment information. The recruitment information may include the job type and working style, and may relate to long-term employment, short-term employment, or day labor. The working style may be distinguishable as either online work or offline work. The recruiter DB 30 may store such information on recruiters in association with a recruiter ID assigned to each recruiter.

[0025] The transport company DB 40 may store information on transport companies in association with a transport company ID assigned to each transport company. Transport companies include, for example, railway companies, airline companies, bus companies, etc. The information on transport companies includes, for example, route information for the means of transportation provided by the transport company, vacancy rates, and fare setting tables according to the vacancy rates.

[0026] The travel business DB 50 may store information about travel businesses in association with a travel business ID assigned to each travel business. Travel businesses include, for example, travel agencies, rental car companies, etc. The travel business information includes, for example, information about accommodations and rental cars provided by the travel business, and information about leisure facilities near the workplace. The job seeker DB 20, employer DB 30, transportation business DB 40, and travel business DB 50 stored in the memory unit 12 may be updated as appropriate.

[0027] The control unit 10 operates the matching control unit 13 to distribute job information stored in the employer DB 30 in the storage unit 12 to job seekers. Specifically, the matching control unit 13 may refer to the job seeker DB 20 stored in the storage unit 12 to distribute job information that matches the job type, number of working days, work location, etc. desired by the job seeker. The job information is distributed to the job seeker's information terminal 2 via the communication unit 11 and displayed on the display unit 22 of the information terminal 2.

[0028] The job seeker selects the desired job from the distributed job information. After confirming the job selection by the job seeker, the matching control unit 13 transmits the job seeker's information to the selected employer via the communication unit 11. Information regarding the employer's hiring decision is transmitted from the employer's information terminal 3 via the communication unit 11 to the platform 1 and stored in the memory unit 12. The matching control unit 13 references the information regarding hiring decision and transmits the information to the job seeker's information terminal 2.

[0029] The contract management unit 14 functions under the control of the control unit 10. The contract management unit 14 references information regarding whether or not a job seeker is hired, and if a job seeker is hired, manages the work contract agreed upon between the job seeker and the employer. Specifically, the contract management unit 14 presents a contract screen to the job seeker when applying for a job and obtains consent or an electronic signature, and presents a contract screen to the employer when deciding to hire the job seeker and obtains consent or an electronic signature, thereby electronically concluding a work contract between the job seeker and the employer.

[0030] The transportation expense management unit 15 functions under the control of the control unit 10 and manages transportation expenses from the job seeker's location to the workplace. Specifically, the transportation expense management unit 15 calculates transportation expenses when the job seeker uses public transportation to travel from the job seeker's location to the workplace. The job seeker's location may be the job seeker's address, or may be a location where the job seeker is staying for other work or leisure. The transportation expense management unit 15 may calculate transportation expenses by referring to the job seeker's address or residence stored in the job seeker DB 20 and the employer's workplace, etc. stored in the employer DB 30. The transportation expense management unit 15 may also calculate transportation expenses based on the travel route registered by the job seeker via the application unit 23. In either case, the transportation expense management unit 15 calculates the transportation expenses required for the job seeker's travel based on the job seeker's boarding location, such as a boarding station, and the job seeker's disembarking location, such as a disembarking station.

[0031] The calculation of transportation expenses may be performed by referring to the information of the transportation company stored in the transportation company DB 40. The transportation expense management unit 15 may calculate transportation expenses based on, for example, the vacancy rate and fare table stored in the transportation company DB 40. The vacancy rate varies depending on the route of the means of transportation provided by the transportation company, the time of year, etc. Therefore, by calculating transportation expenses according to the vacancy rate, it is possible to calculate transportation expenses that are cheaper than the regular fare, for example, if the vacancy rate is high. This allows employers to reduce transportation expenses. Furthermore, by selling tickets and the like through the platform 1, transportation companies can promote the sale of tickets and the like.

[0032] After the contract management unit 14 concludes a job contract, the transportation expense management unit 15 requests the transportation company via the communication unit 11 for ticket data related to the transportation means from the job seeker's boarding location to the drop-off location. The ticket data transmitted from the transportation company to the platform 1 is stored in the transportation company database 40 in the storage unit 12. The transportation expense management unit 15 transmits the ticket data stored in the storage unit 12 to the job seeker's information terminal 2 via the communication unit 11. This allows the job seeker to travel to the workplace without paying transportation expenses in advance. This eliminates the financial burden of having to pay expensive transportation expenses in advance when the workplace is far away, making it easier to match jobs between employers offering remote work and job seekers. Furthermore, if a job seeker wants to work during their free time (hereinafter sometimes referred to as "spare time"), such as when traveling, the transportation expenses required for the trip can be covered by the job matching system, allowing them to enjoy traveling while working during their free time. The ticket data may be a QR code (registered trademark) or a barcode, or may be an alphanumeric code that can be issued at a ticket vending machine.

[0033] The point management unit 16 functions through the control unit 10 and manages points according to the distance traveled by the job seeker. Specifically, the point management unit 16 calculates points according to the distance traveled by the job seeker. The points may be points provided by the transportation company, or may be local points provided by the prefecture or city where the workplace is located. If multiple transportation companies are involved in the job seeker's travel, points may be calculated for each transportation company, or points related to one transportation company selected by the job seeker may be calculated. The point management unit 16 may also calculate points according to the job seeker's transportation costs and number of working days, or may calculate points taking all of these into consideration.

[0034] After a work contract is concluded by the contract management unit 14, the points management unit 16 transmits points to the job seeker via the communication unit 11. If the points are provided by, for example, a railway operator, which is a transportation business, they can be used at many stores and have a wide range of uses. Furthermore, if the points are regional points such as those of a prefecture or city, the use of the regional points can help revitalize the local government's economy. The more a job seeker travels or works using the job matching system, the more points they can earn. Therefore, the points can increase motivation to use the job matching system to search for other job information, and can also increase the number of job seekers using the system. This allows job seekers to target a wider range of employers for employment.

[0035] The accommodation management unit 17 functions under the control of the control unit 10 and manages the accommodation of job seekers. Specifically, the accommodation management unit 17 distributes information about accommodations near the workplace to job seekers after a work contract has been concluded by the contract management unit 14. The accommodation information may be distributed by referencing information stored in the travel agency DB 50, or may be distributed as a link to a site or the like provided by the travel agency. The accommodation management unit 17 may also distribute information about leisure facilities near the workplace stored in the travel agency DB 50 to job seekers.

[0036] [Information terminal] Next, the job seeker's information terminal 2 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the job seeker's information terminal 2 comprises a control unit (not shown), an input unit 21, a display unit 22, and an application unit 23. The control unit, input unit 21, and display unit 22 are functions that are pre-installed in the information terminal 2. The control unit comprises a processor. The application unit 23 is software for using the job matching system according to this embodiment. The application unit 23 and a program for executing the application unit 23 are stored in a memory unit (not shown) of the job seeker's information terminal 2. When the control unit executes the program stored in the information terminal 2, the application unit 23 operates.

[0037] The application unit 23 obtains information about the job seeker input via the input unit 21, and communicates with the platform 1 to display job information and the like distributed from the platform 1 on the information terminal 2 via the display unit 22. The application unit 23 also displays a screen for selecting job information and a screen for inputting the travel section for the job seeker's travel, etc.

[0038] Similarly, the information terminal 3 of the recruiter, the information terminal 4 of the transportation company, and the information terminal 5 of the travel company each have a control unit (not shown) equipped with a processor. The control unit executes a program for using the job matching system stored in a memory unit (not shown), thereby communicating information between the platform 1 and the information terminals 3, 4, and 5.

[0039] [Job Matching System] Next, the processing flow of the job matching system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 10. Fig. 3 is an explanatory diagram of a series of operations of the job matching system.

[0040] First, the job seeker accesses a website provided by the platform 1 using the information terminal 2. Alternatively, the job seeker downloads an application provided by the platform 1, thereby obtaining the application unit 23 on the information terminal 2 and running the application unit 23. The job seeker registers as a member and enters his / her name, age, contact details, career history, etc. into an input screen displayed by the website or application unit 23 via the input unit 21 of the information terminal 2. The entered information is sent to the platform 1 via the information terminal 2 and the communication unit 11 and stored in the job seeker DB 20 in the memory unit 12 (#01 in FIG. 3). The control unit 10 may issue a job seeker ID and send the job seeker ID to the job seeker.

[0041] Similarly, the employer downloads a program provided by the platform 1 and registers as a member. The employer enters the employer's name, address, contact information, employment information, etc. into an input screen displayed by the program. The entered information is sent to the platform 1 via the information terminal 3 and the communication unit 11, and is stored in the employer DB 30 in the memory unit 12 (#02 in FIG. 3). The control unit 10 may issue an employer ID and send the employer ID to the employer.

[0042] To search for a desired job, a job seeker inputs search criteria such as the desired job type, work style, work location, work period, hourly wage, etc. into a job search screen displayed on the website or by the application unit 23. The input information is stored in the job seeker DB 20 in the memory unit 12 via the communication unit 11.

[0043] The matching control unit 13 refers to the job type and other information desired by the job seeker stored in the job seeker DB 20, narrows down the job information stored in the employer DB 30, or changes the display order, and delivers the job information to the job seeker (#03 in FIG. 3). For example, if the job seeker wishes to work short-term in Yamaguchi Prefecture, the matching control unit 13 selects job information with a work location in Yamaguchi Prefecture and a short working period from the job information stored in the employer DB 30 and delivers it to the job seeker. The job information may be sorted, for example, in descending order of hourly wage. The job seeker can display different job information by changing the search conditions and display conditions.

[0044] The job information distributed by the matching control unit 13 is displayed on the display unit 22 of the job seeker's information terminal 2. The job seeker browses the job information, selects the desired job, and applies for it. An application for a job is made by pressing an apply button on a job screen displayed on a website or by the application unit 23. At the time of application, the application unit 23 may display a confirmation screen on the information terminal 2 asking whether the job seeker agrees to the contract regarding the work, and may transmit the application information to the platform 1 only if the job seeker agrees. When an application is made, a screen 101 is displayed on the display unit 22, as shown in FIG. 4. The screen 101 indicates that the application has been completed. At this time, the screen may also display the date by which the job seeker will be notified of the employment. Completion of the application refers to a state in which the job seeker agrees to the contract regarding the work and the job seeker's information has been sent to the employer, or a state in which the employer selected by the job seeker has been stored in the memory unit 12.

[0045] The matching control unit 13 transmits the job seeker's information stored in the job seeker DB 20 to the recruiter selected by the job seeker via the communication unit 11. Messages and other exchanges between the job seeker and the recruiter may be conducted via the matching control unit 13. When the recruiter makes a hiring decision and information regarding the hiring decision is sent from the job seeker's information terminal 3 to the platform 1, the information is stored in the memory unit 12. The matching control unit 13 references the information regarding the hiring decision and sends the information to the job seeker's information terminal 2. In this way, a job is matched between the job seeker and the recruiter (#04 in FIG. 3). The application unit 23, having received the information regarding the hiring decision from the platform 1, may notify the information terminal 2 that the application has been confirmed or rejected, or may display a screen showing this information (see FIG. 10). Confirmation of the application refers to a state in which a job has been matched between the job seeker and the recruiter and a contract has been concluded. The job contract agreed upon between the job seeker and the recruiter is managed by the contract management unit 14.

[0046] After a job match is made between a job seeker and an employer, or after the job seeker has completed their job application, the transportation expense management unit 15 calculates transportation expenses. The calculation of transportation expenses may be performed by referring to the job seeker's address and the employer's workplace stored in the job seeker DB 20 and the employer DB 30, or by referring to the travel route specified by the job seeker. As shown in FIG. 4, the job seeker, for example, selects the "Apply for a train ticket to work" button 101a displayed on screen 101 to input the boarding station and the disembarking station into the application unit 23. As shown in FIG. 5, the application unit 23 displays a screen 102 on the display unit 22 to confirm the input information and prompts the job seeker to confirm the travel route. When the "Apply for a train ticket" button 102a displayed on screen 102 is selected, screen 103 shown in FIG. 6 is displayed. Screen 103 displays the completion of the train ticket application. In this manner, the job seeker inputs the travel route (#05 in FIG. 3).

[0047] The travel route input by the job seeker is stored in the storage unit 12 via the communication unit 11. Information such as vacancy rates and fare setting tables sent by the transportation company is also stored in the storage unit 12 via the communication unit 11 (#06 in FIG. 3). The transportation cost management unit 15 calculates transportation costs by referring to the travel route and the vacancy rates and fare setting tables stored in the transportation company DB 40 (#07 in FIG. 3).

[0048] After calculating the transportation expenses, the transportation expense management unit 15 requests the transportation company for the ticket data (#08 in FIG. 3). The ticket data sent from the transportation company is stored in the storage unit 12 and then sent to the job seeker (#09 in FIG. 3). At this time, the transportation expense management unit 15 may request the employer for the transportation expenses. By using the ticket data to travel by means of transportation provided by the transportation company, the job seeker can travel to the workplace without having to pay transportation expenses in advance.

[0049] Next, the transportation expense management unit 15 calculates points (#10 in FIG. 3). Points may be calculated based on the job seeker's travel distance, transportation expenses, number of working days, etc. stored in the job seeker DB 20. After calculating the points, the transportation expense management unit 15 transmits the points to the job seeker (#11 in FIG. 3). If the points are related to a transportation company, the platform 1 may pay a point usage fee to the transportation company.

[0050] The points sent to the job seeker can be checked by, for example, selecting the "Check the amount of WESTER points awarded" button 101b on screen 101 displayed on display unit 22 shown in Fig. 4, or the "Check the amount of WESTER points awarded" button 103a on screen 103 shown in Fig. 6. Figs. 7 and 8 are point check screens, and screen 104 shown in Fig. 7 displays a list of jobs for which applications have been confirmed. When the job seeker selects the "Confirm" button 104a on screen 104, screen 105 shown in Fig. 8 is displayed, allowing the job seeker to check the points earned for one job.

[0051] After a job contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer, i.e., after the job seeker is notified that the job application has been confirmed, the matching control unit 13 distributes job information related to online work to the job seeker (#12 in FIG. 3). Job information related to online work is displayed, for example, in a list format on screen 106 shown in FIG. 9. Job seekers can check the details of the job information by selecting the "View details" button 106a on screen 106. Job information related to online work may also be displayed by selecting the "Find other jobs" button 107a on screen 107, which displays the confirmed application (see FIG. 10). In this case, job information related to offline work may be distributed in addition to online work. Job seekers can work online in their spare time to perform other work at their workplace, thereby increasing their income. The distribution of job information related to online work may be conducted before the contract is concluded or upon completion of the application.

[0052] Furthermore, the information on accommodations, etc. sent by the travel agency is stored in the storage unit 12 via the communication unit 11 (#13 in FIG. 3). This information may be updated as appropriate. After a job contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer, i.e., after the job seeker is notified that their application has been confirmed, the accommodation management unit 17 refers to the information stored in the travel agency DB 50 and distributes information on accommodations near the job seeker's workplace to the job seeker (#14 in FIG. 3). The accommodation information, etc. distributed to the job seeker is displayed, for example, on a screen 107 shown in FIG. 10. The job seeker can make a reservation for accommodation by selecting the "Images, etc." button 107b on the screen 107. Note that the reservation for accommodation may be made by the application unit 23, or by moving to an external website of the travel agency from the application unit 23. A link may be attached to the "Images, etc." button 107b.

[0053] Other Embodiments (a) The application unit 23 may display a personal page on which the job seeker can check his / her registration information, the jobs he / she is currently applying for, and the like.

[0054] (b) In the above embodiment, the matching control unit 13 distributes job information related to online work after a work contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer. However, at the time of distributing the job information (#03 in Figure 3), the job information related to online work and the job information related to offline work may be packaged and distributed to the job seeker. [Industrial Applicability]

[0055] The present invention can be used in a job matching system. [Explanation of symbols]
