[Means for solving the problem] 【0007】 To achieve this objective, a first aspect of the present invention is a method for managing job advertisements, comprising the steps of: receiving job advertisement data relating to multiple job advertisements from multiple recruitment management systems; receiving a selection of job advertisements included in the job advertisement data from a terminal used by a recruitment agency; if the selected job advertisement is viewable by a recruitment agency other than a client, transmitting recommendation screen display information to the terminal after the selection for displaying a recommendation screen for recommending job seekers for the selected job advertisement; receiving job seeker data entered on the recommendation screen displayed using the recommendation screen display information from the terminal; and transmitting the job seeker data to a recruitment management system that manages the selected job advertisement. 【0008】 Furthermore, a second aspect of the present invention is a method according to the first aspect, further comprising the step of transmitting list data for displaying a list of all or some of the one or more job seekers registered by the recruitment agency in response to a request from the terminal. 【0009】 Furthermore, a third aspect of the present invention is the method of the second aspect, wherein the list is a list of one or more job seekers registered by the recruitment agency who meet the prescribed conditions. 【0010】 Furthermore, a fourth aspect of the present invention is the method of the third aspect, wherein the predetermined condition is the degree of suitability with the selected job advertisement. 【0011】 Furthermore, a fifth aspect of the present invention is the method of the second aspect, wherein the list is a list in which all or some of the one or more job seekers registered by the recruitment agency are ordered according to predetermined conditions. 【0012】 Furthermore, a sixth aspect of the present invention is a method according to any of the first to fifth aspects, wherein the job seeker data includes at least one of a resume file and a work history file. 【0013】 Furthermore, a seventh aspect of the present invention is a method according to any of the first to sixth aspects, further comprising the step of transmitting to the terminal information about the recruiting company that created the selected job advertisement or a URL from which such information can be obtained, if the selected job advertisement is viewable by a recruitment agency other than the business partner. 【0014】 Furthermore, an eighth aspect of the present invention is a method according to any of the first to seventh aspects, wherein the selection is the selection of an outline of a job advertisement included in the job advertisement data. 【0015】 Furthermore, a ninth aspect of the present invention is a program for causing a computer to perform a method for managing job advertisements, the method comprising: receiving job advertisement data relating to a plurality of job advertisements from a plurality of recruitment management systems; receiving a selection of job advertisements included in the job advertisement data from a terminal used by a recruitment agency; if the selected job advertisement is viewable by a recruitment agency other than a client, sending recommendation screen display information to the terminal after the selection for displaying a recommendation screen for recommending job seekers for the selected job advertisement; receiving job seeker data entered on the recommendation screen displayed using the recommendation screen display information from the terminal; and sending the job seeker data to a recruitment management system that manages the selected job advertisement. 【0016】 Furthermore, a tenth aspect of the present invention is an apparatus for performing a method for managing job advertisements, which receives job advertisement data relating to multiple job advertisements from multiple recruitment management systems, receives a selection of job advertisements included in the job advertisement data from a terminal used by a recruitment agency, and if the selected job advertisement is viewable by a recruitment agency other than a client, after the selection, transmits recommendation screen display information to the terminal for displaying a recommendation screen for recommending job seekers to the selected job advertisement, receives job seeker data entered on the recommendation screen displayed using the recommendation screen display information from the terminal, and transmits the job seeker data to a recruitment management system that manages the selected job advertisement. [Effects of the Invention] 【0017】 According to one aspect of the present invention, multiple job advertisements aggregated from multiple recruitment management systems are made viewable on a terminal used by a recruitment agency. If a selected job advertisement is viewable by a recruitment agency other than its existing clients, the agency can recommend job seekers to that selected job advertisement. This allows recruitment agencies to manage the latest job information and to recommend job seekers to a wider range of clients beyond their own existing clients. [Brief explanation of the drawing] 【0018】 [Figure 1] This is a diagram showing a system according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 2] This diagram shows the flow of a method according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 3] This figure shows a screen for viewing job advertisements according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Figure 4] This figure shows a job seeker recommendation screen according to one embodiment of the present invention. [Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0019】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the drawings. 【0020】 Figure 1 shows a system according to one embodiment of the present invention. The device 100 for managing job advertisements communicates with a recruitment agency terminal 110 used by a recruitment agency and multiple recruitment management systems 120 via an IP network such as the Internet. Each recruiting company can use one or more recruitment management systems and manage job advertisements by accessing each recruitment management system from its respective recruiting company terminal 130. In Figure 1, multiple recruitment management systems are shown together, but in reality they are separate systems. 【0021】 The device 100 comprises a communication unit 101 such as a communication interface, a processing unit 102 such as a processor or CPU, and a storage unit 103 including a storage device or storage medium such as memory or a hard disk. The device can be configured by executing a program for performing each process or operation in the processing unit 102. The device 100 may include one or more devices, computers, or servers. The program may also include one or more programs and can be recorded on a computer-readable storage medium to form a non-transient program product. The program is stored in a storage device or storage medium such as a database 104 accessible from the storage unit 103 or the device 100 via an IP network, and instructions included in the program can be executed by at least one processor in the processing unit 102. The data described below as being stored in the storage unit 103 may be stored in a storage device or storage medium such as a database 104, and vice versa. 【0022】 First, the apparatus 100 receives recruitment advertisement data regarding one or more recruitment advertisements from each of the plurality of employment management systems 120 (S201). Specifically, a personnel agency receives an invitation from an account on the employment management system of an employing company with which the agency has a contract, and in response, creates an account to log in to the employment management system and become able to view the recruitment advertisements of the employing company. Then, by linking the created account within the service provided by the apparatus 100, the personnel agency can import the recruitment advertisements viewable with the linked account into the service. By linking the plurality of accounts used by the personnel agency within the service, it becomes possible to aggregate and manage the recruitment advertisements managed by the plurality of employment management systems that the personnel agency should view. The personnel agency may have multiple accounts for the same employment management system. By repeatedly acquiring the recruitment advertisement data in a predetermined unit such as daily, the personnel agency can easily manage the latest recruitment information. 【0023】 Next, the apparatus 100 transmits viewing screen display information for displaying a viewing screen of all or part of the acquired plurality of recruitment advertisements to the personnel agency terminal 110 (S202). As will be described later, the viewing screen can include one or more recruitment advertisements that can be viewed not only by one or more employing companies that are business partners of the personnel agency but also by others. In this case, the company using the personnel agency terminal 110 does not need to have an account in the recruitment management system where such recruitment advertisements are managed, and even if it has an account, it does not need to link it. For example, in at least any one of the plurality of employment management systems 120, when an employing company creates a recruitment advertisement, it can be set whether a personnel agency other than the business partner can view it. And it is only necessary that the apparatus 100 is set so that the service provided by the apparatus 100 can import the recruitment advertisements set as such. The viewing screen can, if necessary, enable searching for a plurality of recruitment advertisements, classifying them by date, employing company, job type, etc., and ordering them. 【0024】 The browsing screen display information is transmitted, for example, as a file in HTML format, and can be read by the web browser of the human resources agency terminal 110 to display the browsing screen on the display screen of the human resources agency terminal 110. When a dedicated application is installed on the human resources agency terminal 110, the browsing screen display information may include the data necessary for the application to display the browsing screen. Here, the "browsing screen" can adopt various forms such as a web page, a modal window, a pop-up window, etc. when displayed on a web browser, and can be a screen of the application when displayed on a dedicated application. In any case, as long as it is a screen including an area for viewing necessary information, it corresponds to the browsing screen. The same technology can be applied to other screens mentioned in this specification. 【0025】 And on the human resources agency terminal 110, a person in charge of the human resources agency using the terminal can select any one of the plurality of job advertisements displayed. FIG. 3 shows a browsing screen according to an embodiment of the present invention, and the browsing screen 300 shows a case where a job advertisement 310 for the job type "Web advertising operation" of the employing company named BBB Co., Ltd. is selected. 【0026】 The job advertisement 310 is from a job-seeking company that is not a business partner of the company using the human resources agency terminal 110, and in the example of FIG. 3, it is displayed together with a display element "Non-business partner job seeker" indicating that fact. When the job advertisement 310 is from a business partner of the company using the human resources agency terminal 110, such a display element may not be displayed. In the example of FIG. 3, it is also possible to narrow down to only job advertisements with the attribute of "Non-business partner job seeker". Also, in the example of FIG. 3, a display element "New addition" indicating that it is a newly added job advertisement is also shown. Whether it corresponds to "new" or not can be appropriately determined by the device 100 according to predetermined conditions to be satisfied. Also, since the job advertisement may be updated, a display element "Update" indicating that fact may be shown. 【0027】 When the device 100 receives a selection of a job advertisement from the recruitment agency terminal 110 (S203), if the selected job advertisement 310 is viewable by recruitment agencies other than the client, it sends recommendation screen information to the recruitment agency terminal 110 after the selection to display a recommendation screen for recommending job seekers to the selected job advertisement 310 (S204). In the example in Figure 3, when the job advertisement summary 310 is selected, its details 320 are displayed, and as part of the details 320, a "Recommend Job Seeker" button 321 is displayed. The device 100 can send recommendation screen display information in response to the selection of this button 321 by clicking or tapping, but the trigger for sending such information after receiving the selection of the job advertisement 310 can be determined as appropriate. For example, the job advertisement summary 310 itself may have a button for recommending job seekers, and the selection of this button may mean the selection of that advertisement. Furthermore, the viewing screen 300 or details screen 320 may also include information about the recruiting company that created the job advertisement 310 if the job advertisement 310 is from a recruiting company other than a business partner, and may also include a link to obtain such information. In the example in Figure 3, selecting link 322 displays information about the company on the recruitment company terminal 110, allowing users to learn about the company before making a recommendation. 【0028】 Figure 4 shows a job seeker recommendation screen according to one embodiment of the present invention. The recommendation screen 400 has input fields 410 for job seeker data. By entering the required information into the input fields and selecting the send button (not shown), the job seeker data is transmitted to the device 100 (S206). The "required" notation in Figure 4 is illustrative, and the recommendation screen 400 does not have to have input fields marked "required," and may have input fields not shown in Figure 4. The input fields 410 may include at least one of a resume file and a work history file, and therefore the job seeker data may include at least one of a resume file and a work history file. 【0029】 If necessary, the recommendation screen 400 may include a list 420 of all or some of the one or more job seekers registered by a company using the recruitment agency terminal 110 (S205). For example, the company can register registration data for one or more job seekers it manages in the service provided by the device 100, and by adding an extension function to the web browser that accesses the device 100 to retrieve the registration data for all or some of those job seekers, the list 420 can be displayed. Depending on the company's representative specifying a job seeker, all or part of the input fields 410 can be entered using the registration data for that job seeker held by the web browser. For example, if a resume file or work history file is included in the registration data retrieved by the recruitment agency terminal 110, and the file for that job seeker is automatically entered when the job seeker is specified, it is possible to prevent file mix-ups. 【0030】 List 420 can be a list of one or more job seekers registered by the company who meet certain conditions, or a list of all or some of the one or more job seekers registered by the company ordered according to certain conditions. These conditions may include, for example, the degree of suitability with the selected job advertisement. The determination of whether or not these conditions are met can be made using the recruitment agency terminal 110, or it may be made using the device 100. 【0031】 The device 100, upon receiving the job seeker data, transmits the job seeker data to the recruitment management system that manages the job advertisement selected on the recruitment agency terminal 110 (S207). Here, the job seeker data received by device 100 and the job seeker data received by device 100 may have different data formats, or some data may be added, modified, or deleted. 【0032】 In this way, by making multiple job advertisements aggregated from multiple recruitment management systems viewable on terminals used by recruitment agencies, and by allowing them to recommend job seekers to selected job advertisements that are also viewable by recruitment agencies other than their existing clients, recruitment agencies can manage the latest job information and also expand their options for recommending job seekers beyond their existing clients. Job seekers expect to be introduced to jobs that are a good fit for them, but developing new clients is costly, and expanding the range of jobs that can be introduced is not always easy. According to the present invention, job seekers can choose from a wide range of options for recommendations, thus promoting the acquisition of trust in recruitment agencies by job seekers. 【0033】 Furthermore, in the embodiments described above, unless the word "only" is used, such as "based only," "depending only," "in the case of only," or "referencing only," it is assumed in this specification that additional information may also be considered. Also, as an example, the statement "if a, then b" does not necessarily mean "always b in the case of a" or "b immediately after a," unless explicitly stated otherwise. In addition, the statement "each a constituting A" does not necessarily mean that A is composed of multiple components, but includes the possibility that the component is singular. 【0034】 Furthermore, it should be noted that the embodiments of the present invention described above are included in the disclosure herein, in any way that they are not inconsistent with each other. 【0035】 Furthermore, for the sake of clarity, even if there are aspects of operation in some method, program, terminal, device, server, or system (hereinafter referred to as "method, etc.") that differ from the operation described herein, each aspect of the present invention is intended to cover the same operation as any of the operations described herein, and the existence of operation different from the operation described herein does not mean that such method, etc. is outside the scope of each aspect of the present invention.
