DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0009] DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings. Various characteristic features shown in the following embodiments can be combined with each other.

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

[0011] In addition, in various information processing according to an embodiment, an input and an output according to the input can be realized. Here, as long as an output is obtained as a result of the input, the form of information referenced in such information processing (hereinafter referred to as reference information) is not limited. The reference information may be, for example, rule-based information such as a database, a lookup table, or a predetermined function (including a judgment formula such as a regression formula constructed by a statistical method), or may be a trained model that has previously trained the correlation between the input and the output, or may be a large-scale language model that can output a desired result by inputting a prompt.

[0012] In one embodiment, the term "unit" may include, for example, a combination of hardware resources implemented by a circuit in the broad sense and software information processing that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. In one embodiment, various information is handled, and this information is represented by, for example, physical values ​​of signal values ​​representing voltage and current, high and low signal values ​​as a binary bit collection consisting of 0 or 1, or quantum superposition (so-called quantum bits), and communication and calculation can be performed on the circuit in the broad sense.

[0013] Furthermore, a circuit in the broad sense is a circuit realized by at least appropriately combining a circuit, circuitry, a processor, and a memory. The processor may be a general-purpose processor or a dedicated circuit. In other words, it includes an application specific integrated circuit (ASIC), a programmable logic device (e.g., a simple programmable logic device (SPLD), a complex programmable logic device (CPLD), and a field programmable gate array (FPGA)), etc.

[0014] 1. Hardware Configuration This section describes the hardware configuration.

[0015] <Information Processing System 1> 1 is a configuration diagram showing an information processing system 1. The information processing system 1 comprises a communication line 2, a server device 10, a plurality of recruiter terminals 20, and a plurality of job seeker terminals 30. The server device 10, the recruiter terminals 20, and the job seeker terminals 30 are configured to be able to communicate with each other via the communication line 2. The connection between the server device 10, the recruiter terminals 20, and the job seeker terminals 30 may be wired or wireless.

[0016] The information processing system 1 constitutes at least a part of a recruitment and job search system used, for example, by multiple recruiters (a first recruiter U1 and a second recruiter U2) and multiple job seekers (a first job seeker U3 and a second job seeker U4). The information processing system 1 mainly performs tasks such as searching for job seekers by recruiters and sending scouting documents to job seekers. In one embodiment, the information processing system 1 is made up of one or more devices or components. These components will be described below.

[0017] <Server device 10> Fig. 2 is a block diagram showing a hardware configuration of the server device 10. As shown in Fig. 2, the server device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, and a communication bus 14. The control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 are electrically connected to each other inside the server device 10 via the communication bus 14.

[0018] <Control unit 11> The control unit 11 performs processing and control of the overall operation related to the server device 10. The control unit 11 is, for example, a central processing unit (CPU). The control unit 11 realizes various functions related to the server device 10 by reading out a predetermined program stored in the storage unit 12. That is, information processing by software stored in the storage unit 12 can be specifically realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11. These will be described in more detail in the next section. Note that the control unit 11 is not limited to being single, and the server device 10 may have multiple control units 11 for each function. Also, the server device 10 may be configured with a combination of these.

[0019] <Storage section 12> The storage unit 12 stores various information defined by the above description. This can be implemented, for example, as a storage device such as a solid state drive (SSD) that stores various programs and the like related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11, or as a memory such as a random access memory (RAM) that stores temporarily required information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to the program calculations. The storage unit 12 stores various programs, variables, etc. related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11.

[0020] <Communications Division 13> The communication unit 13 is preferably a wired communication means such as USB, IEEE1394, Thunderbolt (registered trademark), wired LAN network communication, etc., but may also include wireless LAN network communication, mobile communication such as 3G / LTE / 5G, BLUETOOTH (registered trademark) communication, etc. as necessary. In other words, it is more preferable to implement it as a collection of multiple communication means. In other words, the server device 10 may communicate various information from the outside via the communication unit 13 and the network.

[0021] The server device 10 may be in an on-premise form or in a cloud form. The server device 10 in a cloud form may provide the above-mentioned functions and processes in the form of, for example, SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud computing.

[0022] <Employer Terminal 20> 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the recruiter terminal 20 and the job seeker terminal 30. The recruiter terminal 20 is an information processing terminal used by the recruiter. Recruiters include organizations such as profit-making corporations (e.g., companies, etc.), non-profit organizations (e.g., cooperatives, incorporated foundations, etc.), and public corporations (e.g., local governments, etc.) or their personnel. Recruiters also include human resource agencies that act as agents of organizations and act as intermediaries between job seekers and organizations. Human resource agencies are also called headhunters, agents, etc.

[0023] 3A, the recruiter terminal 20 comprises a control unit 21, a memory unit 22, a communication unit 23, an input unit 24, an output unit 25, and a communication bus 26. The control unit 21, the memory unit 22, the communication unit 23, the input unit 24, and the output unit 25 are electrically connected within the recruiter terminal 20 via the communication bus 26. Descriptions of the control unit 21, the memory unit 22, and the communication unit 23 will be omitted as they are similar to the descriptions of the respective units in the server device 10.

[0024] <Input section 24> The input unit 24 accepts operation inputs made by the user. The operation inputs are transferred as command signals to the control unit 21 via the communication bus 26. The control unit 21 may execute predetermined control or calculations based on the transferred command signals as necessary. The input unit 24 may be included in the housing of the recruiter terminal 20, or may be externally attached. For example, the input unit 24 may be implemented as a touch panel integrated with the output unit 25. When the input unit 24 is implemented as a touch panel, the user can input tap operations, swipe operations, and the like to the input unit 24. As the input unit 24, a switch button, a mouse, a track pad, a QWERTY keyboard, and the like can be adopted instead of a touch panel.

[0025] <Output section 25> The output unit 25 displays a screen of a graphical user interface (GUI) that can be operated by the user. The output unit 25 may be included in the housing of the recruiter terminal 20, or may be attached externally. Specifically, the output unit 25 may be implemented as a display device such as a CRT display, a liquid crystal display, an organic EL display, a plasma display, or the like. It is preferable that these display devices are implemented by using different devices depending on the type of recruiter terminal 20.

[0026] <Job Seeker Terminal 30> The job seeker terminal 30 is an information processing terminal used by a job seeker. "Job seekers" include, for example, employed people (people looking to change jobs), prospective new graduates (job seekers), and the like.

[0027] 3B, the job seeker terminal 30 includes a control unit 31, a memory unit 32, a communication unit 33, an input unit 34, an output unit 35, and a communication bus 36. The control unit 31, the memory unit 32, the communication unit 33, the input unit 34, and the output unit 35 are electrically connected within the job seeker terminal 30 via the communication bus 36. Descriptions of the control unit 31, the memory unit 32, the communication unit 33, the input unit 34, and the output unit 35 will be omitted as they are the same as the descriptions of the respective units in the recruiter terminal 20.

[0028] 2. Functional configuration In this section, the functional configuration of the present embodiment will be described. Information processing by software stored in the storage unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11 (at least one processor included in the information processing system 1).

[0029] FIG. 4 is a block diagram showing functions realized by the server device 10 (control unit 11), the recruiter terminal 20 (control unit 21), and the job seeker terminal 30 (control unit 31).

[0030] As shown in Fig. 4A, server device 10 (control unit 11) includes a basic display control unit 111, a job seeker search unit 112, a job seeker list display control unit 113, a designation receiving unit 114, an information display control unit 115, and a scout document creation unit 116. As shown in Fig. 4B, recruiter terminal 20 (control unit 21) includes a display unit 211 and an operation acquisition unit 212. As shown in Fig. 4C, job seeker terminal 30 (control unit 31) includes a display unit 311 and an operation acquisition unit 312.

[0031] <Basic display control unit 111> The basic display control unit 111 is configured to display various information on the recruiter terminal 20 or the job seeker terminal 30. For example, the basic display control unit 111 displays registration information of job seekers registered in the database, etc. on the display unit 211 of the recruiter terminal 20 or the display unit 311 of the job seeker terminal 30 in response to a request from each user (recruiters U1, U2 or job seekers U3, U4).

[0032] The registration information of job seekers registered in the database includes the job seeker's resume, work history, and other profile information. A "resume" is a document that mainly describes the job seeker's profile, current situation, educational background, employment history, desired working conditions, etc., while a "work history" is also called a résumé, and is a document in which a job seeker conveys to an employer his or her work history, experience, skills, qualifications, etc. related to his or her past work. The job seeker registration information may also include conditions such as the job seeker's desired industry and job type.

[0033] <Job Seeker Search Department 112> The job seeker search unit 112 is configured to search for job seekers whose registration information is registered in the database. Specifically, the job seeker search unit 112 searches the database for job seekers who satisfy the search conditions based on the search conditions.

[0034] The search conditions are input from the recruiter terminal 20. Examples of the search conditions include keywords included in the registered information, tags (labels) added to the registered information, and ranges of numerical values ​​(e.g., age, annual income, etc.) included in the registered information.

[0035] <Job Seeker List Display Control Unit 113> The job seeker list display control unit 113 is configured to cause the recruiter terminal 20 to display a working screen displaying a list of a plurality of job seekers whose registration information is registered in the database.

[0036] The job seeker list display control unit 113 may display the search results of job seekers by the job seeker search unit 112 on the work screen as a list of job seekers. This enables the information display control unit 115, the scout document creation unit 116, etc., which will be described later, to efficiently create scout documents for the searched job seekers.

[0037] The job seeker list display control unit 113 may cause a list of job seekers different from the search results to be displayed on the employer terminal 20. For example, the job seeker list display control unit 113 may cause a target list to be displayed on the employer terminal 20 as a list of job seekers. The target list (which may also be called a bookmark list) is a list in which any job seekers that the employer is considering as candidates for scouting are registered.

[0038] The work screen displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 may include a work area that displays a list of job seekers, and a menu display area that displays a work menu that accepts input from the user (recruiter terminal 20). The work menu displays, for example, objects (menu items) for selecting the type of information to be displayed in the work area (for example, information about job seekers, information about job postings, information about scout documents, information about messages received from job seekers, etc.).

[0039] When an item for displaying a list of job seekers (searching for job seekers) is selected in the work menu, a list of job seekers is displayed in the work area of ​​the work screen. For example, a search for job seekers is performed based on a search query entered by the user, and the extracted job seekers are displayed in a list in the work area. On the other hand, when an item other than displaying a list of job seekers (searching for job seekers) is selected in the work menu, information corresponding to the selected item is displayed in the work area of ​​the work screen.

[0040] The menu display area should be located to the left of the work area. This allows the user to create a scout document while keeping the menu display area displayed when the registration information display screen and scout document creation screen described below are displayed on the recruiter terminal 20.

[0041] 5 is a diagram showing an example of a work screen WD displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The work screen WD includes a menu display area MA, a work area WA, and a display switching object DO.

[0042] The menu display area MA is a side panel arranged adjacent to the work area WA on the left side of the work area WA. In the menu display area MA, multiple menu items MI are displayed vertically. The display of the menu display area MA on the work screen WD can be switched by an input operation to a display switching object DO.

[0043] As shown in Figure 5, when an input operation is performed on the display switching object DO while the menu display area MA is displayed, the menu display area MA becomes hidden and the work area WA expands to the left edge of the work screen WD. The display switching object DO also moves to the left in accordance with the expansion of the work area WA. On the other hand, when an input operation is performed on the display switching object DO while the menu display area MA is not displayed, the left edge of the work area WA and the display switching object DO move to the right, and the menu display area MA is displayed to the left of the work area WA.

[0044] As shown in Fig. 5, when the item for searching for job seekers ("Search for Candidates" in the example of Fig. 5) is selected in the menu display area MA, a search criteria input field CF and a job seeker list JL are displayed in the work area WA. The job seeker list JL displays a list of information (part of the registered information) of job seekers who meet the search criteria entered in the search criteria input field CF. The job seeker list JL can be scrolled up and down.

[0045] <Designation Reception Section 114> The designation receiving unit 114 is configured to receive, from the recruiter terminal 20, the designation of a job seeker whose registered information is to be displayed by the information display control unit 115 described below.

[0046] The designation receiving unit 114 may receive a designation of a job seeker whose registration information is to be displayed from the list of job seekers displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 by the job seeker list display control unit 113.

[0047] The designation receiving unit 114 receives, for example, an input of a selection for any job seeker (registered information) in the job seeker list JL of Fig. 5 at the employer terminal 20. The designation receiving unit 114 may receive a selection of one job seeker, or may receive a selection of multiple job seekers.

[0048] <Information display control unit 115> The information display control unit 115 is configured to display the registration information of a job seeker designated by a user (recruiter) on the recruiter terminal 20. Specifically, the information display control unit 115 displays, side by side on the recruiter terminal 20, a registration information display screen that displays the registration information of the job seeker designated in the designation receiving unit 114, and a scout document creation screen for creating a scout document for the job seeker whose registration information is displayed on the registration information display screen.

[0049] The registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be arranged horizontally or vertically. If the arrangement is horizontal, the registration information display screen may be located to the left of the scout document creation screen, or vice versa. If the arrangement is vertical, the registration information display screen may be located above the scout document creation screen, or vice versa.

[0050] Another area or screen may be placed between the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen. Also, the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be placed adjacent to each other so as to share their respective borders. By placing the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen adjacent to each other, the display areas of these screens are close to each other, improving the work efficiency of scout document creation.

[0051] Furthermore, the sizes (horizontal and vertical sizes) of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be the same or different from each other.

[0052] The information display control unit 115 may display the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen overlapping a part of the work screen. This allows the user (the recruiter) to create a scout document while being aware of the current work situation. Also, by closing the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen, the user can return to the original work screen.

[0053] When the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are arranged side by side, the vertical size of each of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be the same as the vertical size of the work screen (or work area). Also, when the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are arranged side by side, top to bottom, the horizontal size of each of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be the same as the horizontal size of the work screen (or work area). This makes it possible to ensure sufficient area suitable for each purpose on the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen while still allowing a portion of the work screen to be visible.

[0054] The information display control unit 115 may display the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen superimposed on the work screen so that the user (employer terminal 20) can input information into the work menu. This allows the user (employer) to select an item in the work menu while creating a scout document, thereby switching the function from the scout document creation task to a task related to another item.

[0055] In addition, if the input to the work menu is possible (at least a part of each item menu is displayed), at least one of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be displayed overlapping a part of the menu display area. Also, the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may be displayed so as not to overlap the menu display area (i.e., to overlap only the work area).

[0056] The registered information display screen displays more detailed information (typically, all of the registered information that can be made public) than the information included in the list of job seekers displayed by the job seeker list display control unit 113. Note that the name of the job seeker included in the basic information of the job seeker may be displayed on the registered information display screen and made viewable by the user only when there is a reply from the job seeker to the scout document.

[0057] The registration information display screen may be scrollable up and down. If the registration information display screen is scrollable up and down, the registration information display screen may include a header that is always displayed at the top of the registration information display screen. The header may display at least basic information about the job seeker. This improves the work efficiency of creating scout documents because the basic information about the job seeker continues to be displayed on the registration information display screen even when the registration information display screen is scrolled.

[0058] The header may display at least one of information regarding the job seeker's login date and time and information regarding the update date and time of the registered information. This allows the user (employer) to create a scouting document while checking the activity status of the job seeker.

[0059] "Information relating to login date and time" includes, for example, the time (number of days) that has elapsed from the last login date and time to the current time, the last login date and time, etc. "Information relating to the update date and time of registered information" includes, for example, the time (number of days) that has elapsed from the last update date and time of registered information to the current time, the last update date and time, etc. By displaying the time (number of days) that has elapsed up to the current time as information relating to login date and time or information relating to the update date and time of registered information, the user (employer) can easily grasp whether or not a job seeker has been active recently.

[0060] If the registration information display screen can be scrolled up and down, the registration information display screen may include a footer that is always displayed at the bottom of the registration information display screen. The footer may display at least an action instruction reception object that receives input of instructions for an action for the job seeker from the recruiter terminal 20. This allows the action instruction reception object to continue to be displayed on the registration information display screen even if the registration information display screen is scrolled, making it easier for the user (the recruiter) to execute actions, including creating a scout document, regardless of which part of the registration information display screen is displayed on the recruiter terminal 20.

[0061] "Actions for job seekers" include, for example, creating a scouting document to be sent to the job seeker, registering the job seeker in a target list, etc. A plurality of action instruction reception objects may be displayed on the registration information display screen.

[0062] In addition to the action instruction reception object, the footer may also display information related to the scout document (for example, the number of scout documents that can be sent (the number of scout mails in stock)).

[0063] The registration information display screen may include a creation instruction receiving object (an example of an action instruction receiving object) that receives input of an instruction to create a scout document from the recruiter terminal 20. In this case, the information display control unit 115 may display the registration information display screen upon receiving a job seeker designation in the designation receiving unit 114, and may also display the scout document creation screen side by side with the registration information display screen upon receiving input to the creation instruction receiving object from the recruiter terminal 20. This allows the registration information display screen alone to be displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 at the stage when the designation of the job seeker is received, and then the scout document creation screen to be displayed according to an instruction from the recruiter, who is the user. As a result, for example, it is possible to present the registration information to the user in a state of high visibility by displaying only the registration information display screen in a wide size, and then to display a reduced-sized registration information display screen together with the scout document creation screen as an auxiliary, thereby improving the user's convenience in both the operations of viewing the registration information and creating the scout document.

[0064] As described above, when the scout document creation screen is displayed later in response to an instruction to create a scout document, the size of the registration information display screen may be reduced (typically changed to the same size as the scout document creation screen) in conjunction with the appearance of the scout document creation screen. For example, when the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are displayed side by side horizontally, the horizontal size of the registration information display screen may be reduced when the scout document creation screen appears. Also, for example, when the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are displayed side by side vertically, the vertical size of the registration information display screen may be reduced when the scout document creation screen appears.

[0065] In addition, even if only the registration information screen is displayed out of the registration information screen and the scout document creation screen, the registration information screen should be displayed overlaid on the work screen so that the user (employer terminal 20) can input information into the work menu.

[0066] The information display control unit 115 may display the registration information display screen at a predetermined position in the display area of ​​the recruiter terminal 20 by sending the registration information display screen from the right end to the left, and may also receive input from the recruiter terminal 20 to the creation instruction reception object and send the scout document creation screen from the right end to the left while moving the registration information display screen from a predetermined position to the left, thereby displaying the scout document creation screen on the right side of the registration information display screen. This allows the scout document creation screen to be additionally displayed on the right side of the registration information display screen so that the user, the recruiter, can easily create a scout document. In addition, by making both the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen appear by the action of sending them from the right end of the display area, the display of each of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen can be appealed to the user.

[0067] "Display area" refers to an area controllable by control unit 11 (allocated to an application executed by control unit 11) in the image display area of ​​output unit 25 (e.g., a display) of recruiter terminal 20. A work screen displaying a list of job seekers, etc., is typically displayed in the entire display area.

[0068] The registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen may each include a close reception object that receives input of an instruction to close the screen. In this case, the information display control unit 115 may receive input from the recruiter terminal 20 to the close reception object of the registration information display screen to close both the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen, and may receive input from the recruiter terminal 20 to the close reception object of the scout document creation screen to close only the scout document creation screen out of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen. This allows the scout document creation screen to be closed when the registration information display screen is closed, thereby reducing the effort required to close the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen. Also, by closing only the scout document creation screen, it is possible to display only the registration information display screen.

[0069] If only the scout document creation screen is closed by inputting into the close reception object of the scout document creation screen, the scout document creation screen is displayed again by inputting into the creation instruction reception object of the registration information display screen. Also, if only the scout document creation screen is closed, the size of the registration information display screen may be restored to the size before the scout document creation screen was displayed. Note that only the registration information display screen may include a close reception object. In this case, the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are always closed as a set. Also, the close reception object of the registration information display screen may be placed in the header.

[0070] The registration information display screen may include a switching instruction receiving object that receives an input of an instruction to switch the job seeker whose registration information is to be displayed. In this case, the information display control unit 115 may receive an input from the employer terminal 20 to the switching instruction receiving object, close the scout document creation screen, and display the registration information of the job seeker to be switched to on the registration information display screen. This makes it possible to switch the job seeker whose registration information is to be displayed without closing the registration information display screen. Also, by closing the scout document creation screen when switching, it is possible to prevent erroneous operations such as sending a scout document created for the job seeker before the switch to the job seeker after the switch.

[0071] The "switching instruction" includes, for example, an instruction to switch to the next or previous job seeker in a list of job seekers (e.g., search results, target list, etc.), an instruction to switch to a specific job seeker, etc. After the registration information of a new job seeker is displayed on the registration information display screen, a scout document creation screen for that job seeker is displayed by inputting an instruction to create a scout document for that job seeker into the registration information display screen's creation instruction receiving object.

[0072] The scout document creation screen displays input fields for creating a scout document (scout email). For example, the scout document creation screen displays an input field for the subject of the scout document, an input field for the body of the scout document, an input field for the job posting to be attached to the scout document, etc.

[0073] The scout document creation screen may be scrollable up and down. The scout document creation screen may include a footer that is always displayed at the bottom of the scout document creation screen. The footer may display at least an action instruction reception object that receives input of instructions for actions related to scout document creation from recruiter terminal 20.

[0074] In addition, when the scout document creation screen is displayed by the user's operation after the registration information display screen including the footer is displayed first, the information display control unit 115 may display the scout document creation screen including the footer and erase the footer of the registration information display screen. In this case, the information displayed in the footer of the registration information display screen (for example, the number of scout documents that can be sent) may be displayed in the footer of the scout document creation screen.

[0075] The scout document creation screen includes an operation input receiving object that receives operation input for creating a scout document. When the scout document creation screen is located to the right of the registration information display screen, the operation input receiving object may be located to the right of the center of the scout document creation screen. This allows the object operated when creating a scout document to be located closer to the right side of the work screen (display area of ​​recruiter terminal 20), improving the operability of the user (the recruiter).

[0076] "Operations for creating a scout document" include, for example, selecting a job posting to attach to the scout document, confirming the scout document (displaying the contents of the scout document to be sent), sending the scout document, and canceling the operation (returning to the previous step).

[0077] By arranging the scout document creation screen to the right of the registration information display screen and by arranging the operation input accepting object on the scout document creation screen to the right of the scout document creation screen, the scout document creation area and action buttons can be consolidated to the right of the display area of ​​the output unit 25 of the recruiter terminal 20. Also, since monitors, displays, etc. for information processing devices are usually horizontally long, by arranging the scout document creation screen and the registration information display screen side by side, more registration information and information related to the scout document can be displayed, improving the visibility of the information of the user, the recruiter. Furthermore, by making each screen vertically scrollable and always displaying the operation input accepting object (action button) on the right side of the entire screen in the footer, user operability is improved.

[0078] When scout document information for a job seeker to be displayed on the registered information display screen is stored by the scout document creation unit 116 described below, the information display control unit 115 may cause the recruiter terminal 20 to display a scout document creation screen into which the scout document information has been input. This allows the user (recruiter) to resume creating a scout document for a job seeker from the last input state after interrupting the creation of a scout document for that job seeker or switching the job seeker to be displayed on the registered information display screen while creating a scout document for that job seeker.

[0079] Specifically, the information display control unit 115 displays on the recruiter terminal 20 a scout document creation screen with the stored scout document information pre-entered into the input field, either simultaneously with the registration information display screen, or after receiving user operation after the registration information display screen is displayed.

[0080] Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which the registration information display screen RD is displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The registration information display screen RD is displayed so as to overlap the work screen WD of Fig. 5. In the example of Fig. 6, the registration information display screen RD is displayed so as to have the same vertical size as the work screen WD and so as to align its right edge with that of the work screen WD. The registration information display screen RD includes a header HD, a main body area BA, and a footer FT.

[0081] The header HD displays the job seeker's basic information (specifically, registration number, affiliated organization, current annual salary, etc.), the period since the job seeker's last login date and time ("1 month ago" in the upper part of Fig. 6), the period since the registration information was last updated ("1 month ago" in the lower part of Fig. 6), a first close reception object OB1, and a switching instruction reception object OB2. Note that in the case of a job seeker who has already sent a scout document, the name of the job seeker may be displayed instead of the affiliated organization.

[0082] When an input operation is performed on the first close reception object OB1, the registration information display screen RD is closed. When an input operation is performed on the switching instruction reception object OB2, the display content of the registration information display screen RD is updated to the registration information of the next job seeker or the previous job seeker in the list of job seekers displayed on the work screen WD.

[0083] The main body area BA displays details of the registration information, a list addition reception object OB3, a scout transmission reception object OB4 (an example of an operation input reception object), a language switching object OB5, and an information switching tab TB. When an input operation is performed on the list addition reception object OB3, the job seeker whose registration information is displayed is added to the target list. When an input operation is performed on the scout transmission reception object OB4, a scout creation screen is displayed on the recruiter terminal 20.

[0084] The language switching object OB5 accepts switching of the display language of the registered information on the registered information display screen RD. The information switching tab TB accepts selection of the content (category) of the registered information displayed in the main body area BA. The information switching tab TB may be a tab for switching between information of different natures or categories, such as "CV" and "Message". The language switching object OB5 is an object displayed in a manner different from that of the information switching tab TB. Here, switching the display language of the registered information is not switching between information of different natures or categories, so the display language of the registered information may be switched by the language switching object OB5, which is an object different from the information switching tab TB.

[0085] The footer FT displays the number of scout documents that can be sent, a list addition reception object OB3, and a scout transmission reception object OB4. The list addition reception object OB3 and the scout transmission reception object OB4 are the same as those displayed in the main body area BA.

[0086] FIG. 7 is a diagram showing an example of a state in which the registration information display screen RD and the scout document creation screen SD are displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The scout document creation screen SD is displayed so as to overlap the work screen WD of FIG. 5. In the example of FIG. 7, the scout document creation screen SD has the same vertical size as the work screen WD and the same horizontal size as the registration information display screen RD (i.e., the vertical and horizontal sizes are the same as the registration information display screen RD), and is displayed so that its right edge coincides with the work screen WD and its left edge overlaps with the right edge of the registration information display screen RD. Also, in the state of FIG. 7, the registration information display screen RD has moved to the left compared to the state of FIG. 6, and its horizontal size has been reduced. The scout document creation screen SD includes a second close reception object OB6, a main body area BAS, and a footer FTS.

[0087] When an input operation is performed on the second close reception object OB6, only the scout document creation screen SD is closed, and the screen transitions to a state in which only the registration information display screen RD is displayed superimposed on the work screen WD, as shown in FIG.

[0088] The main body area BAS displays the creation steps of the scout document and input fields corresponding to the creation steps (first input field IF1 and second input field IF2 in the example of FIG. 7). The first input field IF1 accepts input of the job posting to be attached to the scout document. The first input field IF1 displays the name of the selected job posting and a job posting reception object OB7 that accepts the selection of the job posting. When an input operation is performed on the job posting reception object OB7, a list of job postings that can be attached (job posting list screen LD described below) is displayed. The second input field IF2 accepts input of the subject and body of the scout document.

[0089] The footer FTS displays the number of scout documents that can be sent and a content confirmation reception object OB8. When an input operation is performed on the content confirmation reception object OB8, the scout document creation step proceeds, and for example, a scout text created based on the contents entered in the first input field IF1 and the second input field IF2 is displayed in the main body area BAS.

[0090] In the state of Fig. 7, the footer FT is not displayed on the registration information display screen RD. In other words, the footer FT, which includes an action instruction reception object that receives operations by the user, may be displayed only on either the registration information display screen RD or the scout document creation screen SD, or may be displayed only on the scout document creation screen SD when the scout document creation screen SD is displayed. This ensures that the object on which the user performs an action is always located in the same direction (for example, to the right of the work area), improving the user's operability.

[0091] In addition, when an input operation is performed on the second close reception object OB6 of the registration information display screen RD in the state of Fig. 7, both the registration information display screen RD and the scout document creation screen SD are closed. Furthermore, when an input operation is performed on the switching instruction reception object OB2 of the registration information display screen RD in the state of Fig. 7, the scout document creation screen SD is closed and the display contents of the registration information display screen RD are updated.

[0092] <Scout Document Creation Department 116> The scout document creation unit 116 is configured to create a scout document via input to a scout document creation screen on the recruiter terminal 20.

[0093] The scout document creation unit 116 may store the scout document information entered on the scout document creation screen for each job seeker. For example, the scout document creation unit 116 saves text entered from the recruiter terminal 20 into an input field on the scout document creation screen, information on an attached job posting selected by the recruiter terminal 20, etc. as scout document information in, for example, the storage unit 22, etc. The recording of the scout document information may be performed periodically, or may be performed in response to a specific action (for example, closing the scout document creation screen).

[0094] After displaying the scout document creation screen on the recruiter terminal 20, the scout document creation unit 116 may display a list of job listings on the recruiter terminal 20, accept a selection of a job listing from the list of job listings, and attach the selected job listing to the scout document. This saves the user (the recruiter) the trouble of having to call up the list of job listings, improving the efficiency of creating scout documents.

[0095] The scout document creation unit 116 may display the job listing list on the recruiter terminal 20 so that it overlaps with at least one of the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen. The scout document creation unit 116 may also accept input of job listing search conditions in the job listing list, and display job listings that satisfy the search conditions.

[0096] Fig. 8 is a diagram showing an example of a job listing list screen LD displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The job listing list screen LD is displayed so as to overlap a part of the registration information display screen RD and a part of the scout document creation screen SD in Fig. 7. In the example of Fig. 8, the job listing list screen LD is smaller in vertical size than the registration information display screen RD and the scout document creation screen SD, and is displayed so as to overlap across the work screen WD, the registration information display screen RD, and the scout document creation screen SD. The job listing list screen LD includes a search condition input field PCF, a search execution reception object OB9, a third close reception object OB10, and a list display area LA.

[0097] A list of selectable job postings is displayed in the list display area LA. When the user selects one of the job postings displayed in the list display area LA, that job posting is attached to the scout document being created on the scout document creation screen SD, and the job posting list screen LD is closed. When search conditions are entered in the search condition input field PCF and an operation input is made to the search execution reception object OB9, only job postings that meet the search conditions are displayed in the list display area LA. When an input operation is made to the third close reception object OB10, the job posting list screen LD is closed.

[0098] <Display section> The display unit 211 of the recruiter terminal 20 and the display unit 311 of the job seeker terminal 30 each display a screen indicated by the screen data transmitted from the server device 10.

[0099] <Operation acquisition part> The operation acquisition unit 212 of the recruiting party terminal 20 accepts operations by a recruiter who uses the recruiting party terminal 20. The operation acquisition unit 312 of the job seeker terminal 30 accepts operations by a job seeker who uses the job seeker terminal 30.

[0100] 3. Information processing method This section describes an information processing method of the server device 10. This information processing method is executed by a computer, with each unit of the server device 10 acting as each step.

[0101] This information processing includes a job seeker search step, a job seeker list display control step, a designation receiving step, an information display control step, and a scout document creation step. In the job seeker search step, a job seeker is searched for based on search conditions. In the job seeker list display control step, a work screen displaying a list of multiple job seekers is displayed. In the designation receiving step, designation of a job seeker whose registration information is to be displayed is accepted. In the information display control step, a registration information display screen displaying the registration information of the designated job seeker and a scout document creation screen for creating a scout document for the job seeker whose registration information is displayed on the registration information display screen are displayed side by side. In the scout document creation step, a scout document is created via input to the scout document creation screen.

[0102] 9 is an activity diagram showing an example of the flow of information processing (scout document creation processing) executed by the information processing system 1. The information processing will be described below along with each activity in this activity diagram.

[0103] The scout document creation process begins with a search for job seekers on the recruiter terminal 20. The recruiter gives instructions to search for job seekers (input of search conditions) on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A101). The server device 10 receives the instructions from the recruiter terminal 20 and executes a search for job seekers (activity A102). After the search, the server device 10 outputs a list of the found job seekers to the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A103). This causes the list of job seekers to be displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A104).

[0104] Next, the recruiter selects a job seeker from the list of job seekers for whom a scout document is to be created (activity A105). The server device 10 causes the recruiter terminal 20 to output a registration information display screen that displays the registration information of the job seeker selected on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A106). As a result, the registration information display screen is displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A107).

[0105] After checking the registration information, the recruiter issues an instruction to create a scout document (activity A108). Upon receiving the instruction from the recruiter terminal 20, the server device 10 outputs a scout document creation screen to the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A109). As a result, the registration information display screen and the scout document creation screen are displayed side by side on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A110).

[0106] The recruiter creates a scout document (entering the subject, text, etc.) on the scout document creation screen displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 (activity A111). The server device 10 transmits the scout document created on the recruiter terminal 20 to the job seeker (activity A112).

[0107] 4. Effect The operation of this embodiment can be summarized as follows. That is, while referring to the job seeker's registration information on the registration information display screen, a scouting document for the job seeker can be created on the scouting document creation screen displayed alongside the registration information display screen.
