Description

[Technical field]

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

[0002] Patent Document 1 describes a job vacancy management system. The job vacancy management system includes a job vacancy management server and a user terminal connected to the job vacancy management server via a communication network. The job vacancy management server is a server that manages an online job information site. Users who are job seekers can view job information from companies by accessing the job information site from their own user terminals.

[0003] The job management server includes a control device having an interview condition acquisition function, a job seeker information acquisition function, an interview availability determination function, an interview commitment notification function, an interview date and time determination function, a job information presentation function, and an application acceptance function, and an external storage device. The external storage device has an interview commitment condition management table, a job seeker information management table, and an interview schedule management table implemented therein.

[0004] The interview commitment conditions management table stores interview commitment conditions registered in advance by each company or the like that is an employer. The job seeker information management table stores profile information registered in advance by users. The interview schedule management table stores information on available dates and times for interviews registered in advance by employers.

[0005] A user accesses the job information site from his / her own user terminal and logs in with his / her own account. A job information list screen including a list of companies offering jobs, job types, work locations, benefits, etc. is displayed on the display of the user terminal. When the user selects a company from the list, the job management server judges whether the user meets the company's interview guarantee conditions.

[0006] If it is determined that the user meets the interview commitment conditions, a job offer screen for those who have agreed to an interview is displayed on the user terminal. The job offer screen for those who have agreed to an interview displays a message informing the user that they can proceed to the interview without document screening, a button for moving to a screen for selecting an interview date and time, and the like. When the user operates the button, an interview date selection screen is displayed.

[0007] The interview schedule selection screen displays information about available dates and times for interviews that are registered in the interview schedule management table. Specifically, it displays the available dates and times for interviews that have been registered in advance by the company, excluding dates and times for which interviews have already been scheduled. When the user operates the selection button for the desired date and time from the available dates and times, an application completion screen is displayed. The application completion screen displays information to confirm the selected interview date and time, etc. [Prior art documents] [Patent documents]

[0008] [Patent Document 1] JP 2020-140460 A Summary of the Invention [Problem to be solved by the invention]

[0009] In the above-mentioned recruitment management system, it is judged whether the user meets the interview guarantee conditions, and when it is judged that the user meets the interview guarantee conditions, a message is displayed informing the user that the interview can be proceeded to without document screening. In this case, the user can select the date and time of the interview on the interview schedule selection screen.

[0010] Incidentally, in an interview system that conducts online interviews, there is a need to start the interview as soon as possible after the applicant applies. In this case, the applicant can efficiently take the online interview, and the interviewer who conducts the online interview with the applicant can also efficiently conduct the online interview. Therefore, it is required to start the online interview as soon as possible after the application is submitted.

[0011] The present disclosure aims to provide an interview system that can start an online interview as soon as possible after application. [Means for solving the problem]

[0012] The interview system according to the present disclosure is an interview system that includes (1) a server, an applicant terminal capable of communicating with the server and used by the applicant, an interviewer terminal capable of communicating with the server and used by the interviewer who interviews the applicant, and a recruiter terminal capable of communicating with the server and used by the recruiter, in which the interviewer interviews the applicant in response to a request from the recruiter. The server has a function of accepting an application from an applicant from the applicant terminal, a function of generating an interview request document for the applicant terminal, a function of sending the interview request document to the applicant terminal, a function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal, a function of accepting an interview date and time selected by the applicant from the candidate interview dates and times, a function of notifying the interviewer terminal of the interview date and time, a function of generating a video of an interview between the applicant and the interviewer to be conducted on the date and time, a function of sending the video to the recruiter, and a function of accepting a request from the recruiter terminal before the interview that the recruiter will personally conduct the interview. The applicant terminal has a function of receiving an interview request document from the server, a function of having the applicant select an interview date and time from candidate interview dates and times, a function of receiving the acceptance or rejection from the recruiter, and a function of applying to the recruiter through an external site. The server's function of accepting applications accepts applications from applicants via the external site. The function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal displays multiple time slots at which the interviewer is available for interviews and at constant time intervals, and the first of the multiple time slots is the time slot following the time slot that includes the time when the applicant's application was accepted. The function of accepting interview dates and times makes it possible to select the time slot following the time slot that includes the time when the application was accepted. After the function of accepting requests is executed, the recruiter himself conducts the interview. In other words, after the function of accepting requests to interviewers is executed, the recruiter himself can change the interview.

[0013] This interview system includes a server, an applicant terminal used by an applicant, and an interviewer terminal used by an interviewer, and an interview is conducted in response to a request from a recruiter. The server has a function of generating an interview request document for the applicant terminal, a function of transmitting the interview request document to the applicant terminal, and a function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal. The interview request document is transmitted to the applicant terminal and the candidate interview dates and times are displayed, so that the process from application to selection of the interview date and time can be made smooth. The server has a function of accepting an interview date and time selected by the applicant from the candidate dates and times, and a function of notifying the interviewer terminal of the interview date and time. By setting the candidate interview dates and times as dates and times that are convenient for the interviewer, a date and time that is convenient for the interviewer is selected, so that the burden on the interviewer can be reduced. Furthermore, when the server accepts the interview date and time from the applicant terminal, the interview date and time is notified to the interviewer terminal. Therefore, the interview date and time is automatically notified without the interviewer having to adjust the interview date and time himself, so that the burden on the interviewer can also be reduced in this respect. The server has a function of generating a video of an interview between an applicant and an interviewer, and a function of transmitting the generated video to a recruiter. The recruiter can obtain a video of an interview between an applicant and an interviewer simply by making a request, so that the burden on the recruiter can be reduced. The applicant terminal has a function of applying to the recruiter through an external site, and the application acceptance function of the server accepts applications from applicants through the external site. That is, the server accepts applications from applicants in cooperation with the external site, so that the load on the server can be reduced and information on applicants can be acquired efficiently. Furthermore, the function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal displays multiple time slots with a fixed time interval. The first time slot of the multiple time slots is the time slot following the time slot that includes the time when the application was accepted, and the applicant terminal can select the next time slot. Therefore, the applicant can be interviewed immediately in the next time slot after applying, so that the online interview can start as soon as possible. Therefore, the applicant can be interviewed efficiently, and the interviewer can also conduct the online interview efficiently. Furthermore, the server accepts a request from the recruiter terminal for the recruiter to conduct the interview himself / herself before the interview is conducted.Therefore, recruiters can interview applicants themselves when they feel like it.

[0014] (2) In the above (1), the function of generating videos may generate videos of interviews conducted by the recruiter himself / herself. In this case, the recruiter can later review the videos of the interviews with the applicants and evaluate the applicants.

[0015] (3) In the above (2), the interview system may further include a supervisor terminal that can communicate with the server and is used by the recruiter's supervisor. The supervisor terminal may have a function to display a video of the interview that the recruiter conducted himself / herself. In this case, the recruiter's supervisor can view the video of the interview of the recruiter, so that the supervisor can know whether the recruiter is conducting the interview appropriately.

[0016] (4) In any of the above (1) to (3), the function of accepting requests may be executable only if it is a certain time before the date and time of the interview. In this case, it is possible to prevent the change of interviewer to the recruiter after a certain time before the date and time of the interview. In other words, it is possible to prevent the sudden change of interviewer just before the interview.

[0017] (5) In any of the above (1) to (4), after the function of accepting a request is executed, the applicant and the interviewer may be restricted from being changed from a recruiter to an interviewer. In this case, once the interviewer has been changed to a recruiter, it is possible to prohibit the interviewer from being changed back to an interviewer.

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

[0019] (7) In any of the above (1) to (6), the server may have a function of recording the video of the interview conducted by the interviewer and the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself. In this case, since the recording time of the video of the interview can be known, it is possible to warn people whose interview is taking too long. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the volume of the video data of the interview and reduce the cost of the server. Effect of the Invention

[0020] According to the present disclosure, online interviews can begin as soon as possible after application. [Brief description of the drawings]

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

[0022] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the interview system according to the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the description of the drawings, the same or corresponding elements are given the same reference numerals, and duplicated descriptions are omitted as appropriate. In addition, the drawings are partially exaggerated or simplified for ease of understanding, and the descriptions of the screen layout, etc. are not limited to those shown in the drawings. In other words, the screen layout, etc. used in the interview system are not limited to the examples described below and can be changed as appropriate.

[0023] The interview system according to one embodiment includes either a personnel recruiting system or a recruitment selection system for recruiting personnel, and enables efficient interviews of applicants. In the interview system, for example, applicants and interviewers conduct interviews using smartphones, personal computers, or mobile devices at any time and place, and recruiters, such as companies, use videos of the interviews to evaluate applicants.

[0024] Conventionally, there has been known a recruitment selection system in which an applicant films himself / herself and creates a video of himself / herself, etc., and a recruiter receives and evaluates the video filmed by the applicant. However, in this recruitment selection system, the applicant unilaterally creates a video and sends it to the recruiter, so that the recruiter cannot see the applicant's natural conversation, etc., which can cause a problem that it is difficult to judge whether to hire the applicant.

[0025] Conventionally, recruiters of companies interview applicants while working on tasks other than recruitment selection. However, in order to interview applicants, it is necessary to secure time for the interview, and it takes time to prepare for the interview, so the recruiter cannot concentrate on his / her original task. For example, if the recruiter is a manager of a restaurant, he / she has to spend time on interviews in addition to his / her original task of operating the restaurant, so the recruiter's burden is heavy.

[0026] In the interview system according to one embodiment, an interviewer belonging to an organization different from the recruiter interviews the applicant online at the request of the recruiter, and the recruiter receives a video of the interview. Therefore, the recruiter can receive the video of the interview of the applicant and evaluate the applicant at the request, which significantly reduces the burden on the recruiter.

[0027] More specifically, recruiters can receive videos of applicants having interviews with interviewers simply by making a request, significantly reducing the time and effort required for recruitment. Furthermore, because recruiters can receive videos of applicants having interviews with interviewers, they can grasp the interactive exchange between the applicant and the interviewer, that is, the appearance of the applicant communicating two-way. As a result, recruiters can grasp the facial expressions, speaking style, and topic characteristics of the applicant when speaking with others, allowing them to more accurately determine whether or not to hire the applicant.

[0028] Since recruiters can fast-forward or skip the video depending on the interview situation of the applicant, they can quickly decide whether to accept the applicant. In other words, they can fast-forward or skip the video of the applicant they do not want to see, and can take their time to watch the video of the applicant they want to see. As a result, the time required to decide whether to accept the applicant can be significantly reduced. Furthermore, by conducting online interviews, the burden on the applicant and the interviewer can also be reduced.

[0029] In this disclosure, an "applicant" refers to a person who applies for a job vacancy by a recruiter, such as a person who applies for a part-time job, a person who applies for a contract employee, and a person who applies for a full-time employee. An "interviewer" is a person who conducts an online interview with an applicant. For example, an "interviewer" is a person different from the recruiter, who is a person who is arranged to conduct an interview with an applicant. In addition, an "interviewer" may be a person who is entrusted with interviewing an applicant.

[0030] However, in some cases, interviews are conducted in a manner that is unfavorable to applicants, such as a pressure interview, and there is room for improvement in terms of the quality of the interviews. Therefore, the interview system according to the following embodiment includes an office that manages interviewers, and the office keeps track of the interviewer's evaluation. The interviewer's evaluation is notified to an interviewer terminal, which will be described later. For example, if an applicant gives an interviewer a low evaluation, the office notifies the interviewer of the low evaluation and provides guidance to the interviewer as necessary. This makes it possible to improve the quality of the interview conducted by the interviewer.

[0031] A "recruiter" is a person or organization that recruits applicants, and may be, for example, a management entity such as a business enterprise. A "recruiter" may be not only a general company, but also a private enterprise or an office. A "recruiter" may be a person who evaluates applicants, and includes a hiring manager such as a restaurant manager, and a veteran part-time worker designated by the hiring manager. A "recruiter" may be a person who decides whether to hire or not hire an applicant, and includes, for example, a restaurant manager, manager, head office employee, person in a position of authority, and the owner. A "supervisor" is the superior of the recruiter. A "supervisor" may be, for example, a supervisor, area manager, head office employee, person in a position of authority, or the owner who manages multiple stores.

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

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

[0034] Each functional element of the "information terminal" is realized by loading specific software into a processor or memory unit (for example, the main memory unit or auxiliary memory unit described above) and executing the software. The processor operates the communication control unit, input device, or output device described above in accordance with the software, and reads and writes data in the memory unit. Data or databases used in the processing of the "information terminal" are stored in the memory unit.

[0035] The interview system 1 may be a distributed processing system consisting of multiple computers, or may be a client-server system or a cloud system. The interview system 1 may be equipped with an interview program. The interview system 1 according to this embodiment includes, for example, a main module, a data acquisition module, a judgment module, and an output module.

[0036] Each functional element of the interview system 1 functions by executing the data acquisition module, judgment module, and output module. As one example, the interview system 1 may be provided in a state where it is permanently recorded on a tangible storage medium such as a CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, or semiconductor memory. In addition, the interview program may be provided via a communications network as a data signal superimposed on a carrier wave.

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

[0038] Each functional element of the server 10 is realized by loading a specific software into the processor or main memory and executing the software. The processor operates the communication control unit, input device, or output device described above in accordance with the software, and reads and writes data in the main memory or auxiliary memory. Data or databases required for processing by the server 10 are stored in the main memory or auxiliary memory.

[0039] In this embodiment, the server 10 includes a storage unit 31 that stores the received information, and a display control unit 32 that controls the screens displayed on the applicant terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, the recruiter terminal T3, and the secretariat terminal T4. Each screen displayed on the applicant terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, the recruiter terminal T3, and the secretariat terminal T4 is controlled by the display control unit 32, for example.

[0040] The interview system 1 is a system that executes an interview between an applicant and an interviewer in response to a request from a recruiter. For example, the interview system 1 (a server 10 as an example) has, as functional components, an application notification receiving unit 11, an applicant information registration unit 12, an interview request document generating unit 13, an interview request notifying unit 14, an interview date and time deciding unit 15, an interviewer deciding unit 16, an interview video generating unit 17, an interview video sending unit 18, an employment result notifying unit 19, an employment contract unit 20, an interviewer evaluation unit 21, an interview rotation unit 22, a number of times recording unit 23, and a recording time recording unit 24.

[0041] The application notice receiving unit 11 has a function of receiving applications from applicants from the applicant terminal T1. As shown as an example in Fig. 2, the application notice receiving unit 11 receives applications from applicants from the applicant terminal T1 via an external site G. In other words, the applicant terminal T1 has a function of allowing applications to be made via the external site G.

[0042] The external site G is, for example, a recruitment site. A recruitment site refers to a site that provides online recruitment information, as well as information on job hunting and job change activities. A recruitment site is, for example, a recruitment medium. A recruitment medium is a medium that acts as an intermediary between applicants and companies for recruitment.

[0043] When an applicant applies, an external site G is displayed on the applicant terminal T1. As an example, the external site G is a site displayed by a server external to the interview system 1. For example, the external site G is a site built by a company different from the company that built the interview system 1.

[0044] The external site G may be the site of the company to which the recruiter belongs. In other words, the external site G may be the company's own site. One example of the external site G is a job offer screen D1 displayed on the applicant terminal T1. The job offer screen D1 displays, for example, image information D11 of the workplace, a map D12 of the workplace, a message D13 from the recruiter, recruiter information D14, working conditions D15, job content D16, benefits D17, and an interview application button D18.

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

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

[0047] The applicant basic information input screen D2 displays, for example, an organization name D21, an applicant name input section D22, an applicant phonetic spelling input section D23, an applicant gender input section D24, an applicant date of birth input section D25, an applicant email address input section D26, an applicant telephone number input section D28, and a Next button D27. The organization name D21 may be an organization name input section in which an organization (e.g., a store or company) to which an application is to be made is selected. Note that the applicant basic information input screen D2 does not need to display, for example, all of the organization name D21, the applicant name input section D22, the applicant phonetic spelling input section D23, the applicant gender input section D24, the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, and the Next button D27, and may display, for example, only the applicant date of birth input section D25, the applicant email address input section D26, the applicant telephone number input section D28, and the Next button D27.

[0048] For example, the application notification receiving unit 11 accepts an application from an applicant when applicant information is entered into the applicant name input section D22, applicant phonetic spelling input section D23, applicant gender input section D24, applicant date of birth input section D25, applicant email address input section D26, and applicant phone number input section D28 and the next button D27 is pressed.

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

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

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

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

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

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

[0055] The interview request document M includes the applicant's name M1, a greeting M2, an interview date and time selection request M3, and a remark M4. The applicant's name entered in the applicant name input section D22 is displayed as the applicant's name M1. The greeting M2 includes, for example, the name of the organization to which the recruiter belongs (for example, the name of the store) and a standard greeting.

[0056] For example, the interview date and time selection request M3 includes a URL showing a link to a site that displays possible interview date and time candidates between the applicant and the interviewer, and a message to select the interview date and time from the possible date and time candidates. The remarks M4 include, for example, how to proceed with the interview, a message to send a URL for the online interview, and notes.

[0057] The interview request notification unit 14 has a function of sending the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1. The applicant terminal T1 has a function of receiving the interview request document M from the server 10. For example, the interview request notification unit 14 sends the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1 as the body of an e-mail. Since the interview request document M includes an interview date and time selection request message M3, an applicant who receives the interview request document M can understand that they need to adjust the interview date and time from the interview date and time selection request message M3.

[0058] The interview date and time determination unit 15 has a function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal T1. As shown in Fig. 6, on the applicant terminal T1, for example, a date and time for an interview to be conducted immediately is displayed in the available interview date and time display section D32. "Interview now" refers to a function that allows an applicant to have an interview as soon as possible.

[0059] Meanwhile, there is a need among job applicants to be interviewed as soon as possible after applying. However, in reality, it is difficult to be interviewed on the same day of application, and the above needs of applicants cannot be met. In contrast, the interview system 1 according to this embodiment makes it possible to be interviewed as quickly as a few minutes after applying. Therefore, the interview system 1 allows applicants to be interviewed on the same day of application, thereby meeting the above needs.

[0060] The available interview date and time display section D32 is displayed on the applicant terminal T1, for example, in a form that is included in the interview date and time arrangement screen D3. However, only the available interview date and time display section D32 may be displayed on the applicant terminal T1. In this way, the layout of the interview date and time arrangement screen D3 and the available interview date and time display section D32 is not particularly limited.

[0061] For example, the available interview date and time display section D32 displays multiple time periods during which an interviewer is available for an interview and at fixed time intervals. A "time period" indicates a band of time (fixed period of time) from one time to another, for example, a fixed period of time from the start time of the interview to the end time of the interview. A "time interval" indicates a time period (frame of time) during which the interview takes place, for example, the longest expected length of the interview. In the example of FIG. 6, the time period and time interval are 30 minutes. However, the time period and time interval may be less than 30 minutes (20 minutes as an example), and can be changed as appropriate.

[0062] The first time period of the multiple time periods displayed in the available interview date and time display section D32 is the time period following the time period including the time when the applicant's application was accepted. The "time when the application was accepted" is, for example, the time when a screen displaying candidate interview dates and times (for example, the interview date and time adjustment screen D3) is accessed. FIG. 6 shows an example where an applicant applied between 12:30 and 13:00 on Sunday, August 21st (for example, 12:45), and the "time period including the time when the applicant's application was accepted" is from 12:30 to 13:00 on Sunday, August 21st.

[0063] And, since the "next time period to the time period including the time when the applicant's application was accepted" is from 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21st, the available interview date and time display section D32 displays the time period from 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21st first (for example, at the top). Therefore, an applicant who applies from 12:30 to 13:00 on Sunday, August 21st (for example, 12:45 on Sunday, August 21st) can be interviewed from 13:00.

[0064] In other words, the applicant can select the next time slot after the time slot that includes the time when the application was accepted as the interview time slot. In the example of Figure 6, for the time slot after 13:00 to 13:30 on Sunday, August 21, multiple time slots are displayed at regular time intervals, such as 13:30 to 14:00 on the same day, 14:00 to 14:30 on the same day, etc.

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

[0066] For example, the available interview date and time list D31 displays a time period D35 and an available interview time period D36. Different dates and times are displayed in the time period D35 depending on the applicant's screen operation, and the date and time displayed in the time period D35 can be changed by the operation. The available interview time period D36 indicates the time periods when an interviewer is available for an interview.

[0067] The interviewer belongs to, for example, a company different from the recruiter. The interviewer does not need to know which recruiter the applicant is going to interview with. For example, the company has multiple interviewers registered. As an example, the company has 10 or more and 1000 or less interviewers registered. For example, the company has an office that manages multiple interviewers.

[0068] The interviewer may be an employee of the company, or, for example, an interviewer who is employed as an employee who has a side job. In this case, the person employed as an interviewer can effectively use his or her time or experience as a side job. The interviewer may also be a contractor that has been entrusted with the interview. In other words, an interviewer as a contractor may be matched with an applicant. The contractor may be a business company or a sole proprietor.

[0069] For example, available interview time slots D36 are displayed in a different color from time slots other than available interview time slots D36 of time slot D35. In Fig. 6, available interview time slots D36 are shown by diagonal lines as an example. As an example, a plurality of interviewers are reserved in advance, and available interview time slots D36 indicate a time slot when at least one of the plurality of interviewers is available for an interview.

[0070] The applicant terminal T1 has a function that allows the applicant to select an interview date and time from candidate interview dates and times. The applicant may select an available interview date and time from the available interview date and time display section D32 described above, or may select an available interview date and time from the available interview time slots D36. For example, if the applicant selects a time slot from the available interview time slots D36, the time slot selected by the applicant is displayed in a different color from the other time slots in the available interview time slots D36 (time slots not selected by the applicant). In FIG. 6, as an example, the time slot selected by the applicant is shown with a darker diagonal line than the other time slots in the available interview time slots D36.

[0071] The later date interview appointment button D33 is a button that is pressed, for example, when there are no available interview time slots in the available interview date and time display section D32. When the later date interview appointment button D33 is pressed, for example, the time slot of the day following the day originally displayed in the available interview date and time display section D32 is displayed. The confirmation button D34 is a button that confirms the interview date and time. For example, when an applicant selects an interview date and time from the available interview date and time display section D32 or available interview time slots D36 and presses the confirmation button D34, the interview date and time determination section 15 confirms the date and time of the interview between the applicant and the interviewer. In this way, the interview date and time determination section 15 allows the applicant to easily confirm the date and time of the interview with the interviewer.

[0072] The interview date and time determination unit 15 has a function of accepting an interview date and time selected by an applicant from the candidate interview dates and times. For example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 accepts the confirmed interview date and time when the applicant presses the confirmation button D34 with the interview date and time selected from the available interview date and time display unit D32 or the available interview time slot D36.

[0073] For example, the interview date and time scheduling unit 15 may be an external tool used as the interview system 1. When the interview date and time scheduling unit 15 is an external tool in this way, it is possible to simplify the functions to be implemented in the interview system 1. However, the interview date and time scheduling unit 15 does not have to be an external tool.

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

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

[0076] As an example, the interview date and time determination unit 15 may notify the interviewer terminals T2 of all interviewers who are free on the date and time selected by the applicant among the multiple interviewers. Then, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines one interviewer who will interview the applicant. The interviewer determination unit 16, for example, automatically determines one interviewer who will interview the applicant. However, the interviewer determination unit 16 may determine the interviewer by a method other than automatic.

[0077] For example, the interviewer selection unit 16 registers the date and time of the interview in the calendar of the selected interviewer and displays an interview date and time confirmation screen D5 on the interviewer terminal T2. The interview date and time confirmation screen D5 includes, for example, an interview date and time D51, a text D52 requesting the interview, an interview invitation link D53 with the applicant, and applicant information D54.

[0078] The interview invitation link D53 includes a URL for an online interview with the applicant to be held on the interview date and time D51. The interviewer can conduct an online interview with the applicant by clicking the interview invitation link D53. The applicant's information D54 includes, for example, the applicant's name, the applicant's email address, and the applicant's phone number. In this case, the interviewer can contact the applicant if a sudden change in the date and time is required. However, the information displayed in the applicant's information D54 is not limited to the above example.

[0079] For example, when the interview date and time decision unit 15 has finalized the interview date and time, it displays an interview information screen D4 on the applicant terminal T1 as shown in Fig. 8(a). The interview information screen D4 includes, as an example, an interview participation button D41, an interview information link D42, a countdown to the interview start time D43, the interview start time D44, and an interviewer screen D45.

[0080] The interview participation button D41 includes the URL of the online interview with the interviewer that will take place at the interview start time D44. However, the interview participation button D41 cannot be pressed until a certain amount of time (e.g., 3 minutes) before the interview start time D44. The interview information link D42 is a link to an interview information site. The interview information site describes how to proceed with the interview that begins at the interview start time D44.

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

[0082] The interview start time D44 indicates the interview start time determined by the interview date and time determination unit 15. The interviewer screen D45 includes, for example, an icon displaying the face of the interviewer. This icon can be changed, for example, by the interviewer. As an example, the interviewer screen D45 may include a message indicating that the person in charge of the interview will be in charge of the interview, the icon, and the name of the interviewer. In this case, the applicant can easily know the name of the interviewer, etc. by looking at the interviewer screen D45.

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

[0084] The online interview between the applicant and the interviewer begins at the interview start time D44. When the applicant clicks the interview participation button D47 described above, the online interview between the applicant and the interviewer begins. As shown in Fig. 9, the interview video generation unit 17 displays the interview video D6 (video of the interview) on each of the applicant terminal T1 and the interviewer terminal T2, and records the interview video D6. This allows the applicant X and the interviewer Y to conduct the interview on their mobile terminals.

[0085] The interview video generating unit 17 generates a video of an interview between applicant X and interviewer Y. As an example, in the interview video D6 displayed on the applicant terminal T1, an image of interviewer Y may be displayed larger than an image of applicant X, and in the interview video D6 displayed on the interviewer terminal T2, an image of applicant X may be displayed larger than an image of interviewer Y. In this case, applicant X can get a good view of the face of interviewer Y, and interviewer Y can get a good view of applicant X's face.

[0086] As an example, the interview video D6 has a mute button D61, a participant button D62, a stop button D63, a screen sharing button D64, and a details button D65. When the mute button D61 is pressed, audio is not output to the interviewer. When the participant button D62 is pressed, a list of the interview participants is displayed. The interview participants are, for example, one applicant X and one interviewer Y.

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

[0088] For example, as shown in Fig. 10, an interview record screen D7 may be displayed on the interviewer terminal T2 while the interview is being conducted. The interviewer terminal T2 has a function of accepting a record of the interview with the applicant X, and for example, an interviewer Y records the interview with the applicant X on the interview record screen D7. As an example, the interview record screen D7 has the name D71 of the interviewer Y, a question D72 for the applicant X, and an answer field D73 in which the applicant X can enter an answer to the question. For example, the interview video generation unit 17 has a function of accepting the answer of the applicant X entered in the answer field D73.

[0089] The name of the interviewer Y may be input in the name D71, or may be automatically input in advance before the interview. The interview record screen D7 has, for example, a plurality of questions D72 (for example, five). As an example, the plurality of questions D72 are preset standard questions. However, the questions D72 are not limited to standard questions and may be customizable. Furthermore, at least one of the plurality of questions D72 may be provided by the recruiter. In this case, it is possible to ask the applicant X questions that match the needs of the recruiter.

[0090] For example, an answer field D73 is provided for each question D72. In the answer field D73, the interviewer Y inputs the answer from the applicant X to the question D72 for the applicant X. However, the answer of the applicant X may be input by the applicant X himself. Furthermore, the interview record screen D7 may have a completion button D74 for finalizing the input by the interviewer Y into the answer field D73. Pressing the completion button D74 completes the input of the answer into the answer field D73. As a result, a record of the interview is transmitted from the interviewer terminal T2 to the server 10, and the server 10 receives the record of the interview.

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

[0092] As shown in FIG. 11, for example, the interview video sending unit 18 displays a video sending screen D8 on the interviewer terminal T2. The video sending screen D8 has a display D81 indicating that the interview video D6 has been attached, a file selection button D82, and a remarks entry field D83. For example, the interview video D6 is automatically attached. Interviewer Y's notes on the interview are entered in the remarks entry field D83. The notes are, for example, the status of applicant X at the time of the interview. As an example of the notes, the fact that applicant X was late is entered. The interview video D6 and the content entered in the remarks entry field D83 are transmitted to the recruiter terminal T3 by the interview video sending unit 18.

[0093] For example, the interview video sending unit 18 may send the above-mentioned question D72 and the applicant X's answer to the question D72 to the recruiter. In this case, the interview video sending unit 18 sends the interview record entered on the interview record screen D7 together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter's terminal T3. By sending the interview record together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter's terminal T3, the recruiter can easily and sufficiently obtain information about the interview.

[0094] The interview video sending unit 18 transmits the interview record together with the interview video D6 to the recruiter. The recruiter decides whether to accept the applicant based on the interview video D6 received by the recruiter's terminal T3. The recruiter's terminal T3 has a function for playing the interview video D6. As shown in FIG. 12, the recruiter's terminal T3 displays a playback screen D9 which is a playback video of the interview video D6. As an example, the recruiter's terminal T3 displays questions for the applicant X together with the playback screen D9. For example, the recruiter's terminal T3 displays a remarks field D91, and the remarks field D91 displays the entry in the remarks entry field D83 entered by interviewer Y.

[0095] In addition, a repeat button, a stop button, a reverse play button, a pause button, and a fast-forward button may be displayed together with the playback screen D9. In this case, the recruiter can view the playback screen D9 at his / her convenience by operating the repeat button, the stop button, the reverse play button, the pause button, and the fast-forward button when playing the playback screen D9. For example, when playing the playback screen D9 of an interested applicant X, the playback screen D9 can be played multiple times, or the playback screen D9 can be fast-forwarded or skipped when there is not enough time. The voice of the interview may be transcribed and displayed on the playback screen D9. The playback screen D9 may be capable of skipping each scene as a chapter. Furthermore, the playback speed may be set in multiple stages on the playback screen D9. With these functions, it is possible to more efficiently view the playback screen D9 and make a decision on whether or not to accept the applicant.

[0096] For example, the recruiter judges whether to accept or reject the applicant X from the playback screen D9 and the received interview record screen D7. The recruitment result notifying unit 19 has a function to receive the recruitment decision by the recruiter. That is, the recruitment result notifying unit 19 has a function to accept the recruitment decision of the applicant X. For example, the recruitment result notifying unit 19 displays an evaluation screen D10 for judging whether to accept the applicant X on the recruiter's terminal T3.

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

[0098] In the comment input section D102, for example, any points that the recruiter has noticed about the interview of applicant X and the record entered in the interview record screen D7 are entered as comments. In the acceptance / rejection input section D103, the acceptance / rejection of applicant X is entered. As an example, the acceptance / rejection input section D103 displays a pass button and a fail button. Pressing the pass button in the acceptance / rejection input section D103 indicates that the applicant has passed (hired), and pressing the fail button in the acceptance / rejection input section D103 indicates that the applicant has failed (not hired).

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

[0100] For example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of analyzing the above-mentioned interview video D6 (video, see FIG. 9). As an example, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 evaluates interviewer Y from his / her speaking style (pauses in speech and volume of voice) and facial expressions in the interview video D6. Furthermore, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 has a function of storing an evaluation of interviewer Y obtained from at least one of the recruiter and the interview video D6. That is, the interviewer evaluation unit 21 stores in the memory unit 31 the evaluation of interviewer Y by the recruiter and the evaluation of interviewer Y obtained as a result of analyzing the interview video D6.

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

[0102] The employment contract unit 20 has a function of creating an employment contract for employing an applicant. For example, when the employment result notifying unit 19 accepts the employment of applicant X by the recruiter, it transmits an employment contract to the applicant terminal T1 together with a notification that applicant X has been employed. When the confirmation button D105 is pressed, for example, the employment contract unit 20 transmits an employment contract to the applicant terminal T1 together with a notification that applicant X has been employed.

[0103] The employment contract includes, for example, the date of transmission, the employment period, the place of work, the working hours, the wages, and an employment contract agreement confirmation button. This employment contract agreement confirmation button includes, for example, an agree button and a disagree button. If the applicant X agrees to the employment contract, the agree button is pressed, and if the applicant X does not agree to the employment contract, the disagree button is pressed. The employment contract may also include items related to the employment type (full-time employee, contract employee, part-time employee, etc.), duties of the affiliation, break times, whether or not work will exceed the specified hours, holidays, vacation, whether or not the contract will be renewed, or retirement, etc.

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

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

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

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

[0108] Next, the interview request notification unit 14 transmits the interview request document M to the applicant terminal T1 (step S6). At this time, the interview request notification unit 14 may generate an e-mail containing the interview request document M and transmit the e-mail to the applicant terminal T1. As described above, the interview request document M contains a link to a site that displays possible interview dates and times, so that the applicant can know that he or she needs to adjust the interview date and time.

[0109] When the applicant X clicks on the link to a site displaying candidate interview dates and times, the interview date and time decision unit 15 displays the interview date and time arrangement screen D3 on the applicant terminal T1, as shown in Figures 6 and 13. The applicant X selects the interview date and time from the available interview date and time display section D32 or available interview time period D36 on the interview date and time arrangement screen D3, and decides the interview date and time by pressing the confirmation button D34 (step S7).

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

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

[0112] The interview date and time decision unit 15 then notifies the applicant terminal T1 of the date and time (step S10). As shown in Figures 8(a), 8(b) and 13, the interview date and time decision unit 15 may display an interview information screen D4 on the applicant terminal T1. This allows applicant X and interviewer Y to conduct an online interview on the decided date and time.

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

[0114] The interview video generating unit 17 starts recording the interview video D6 when the interview starts (step S12). The interviewer Y conducts an online interview with the applicant X, and displays the interview record screen D7 on the interviewer terminal T2 to record the interview, as shown in FIG. 10 and FIG. 13 (step S13). Specifically, the interviewer Y displays the interview record screen D7, asks the applicant X the questions listed in the questions D72, and enters the answers obtained from the applicant X in the answer field D73. When the online interview ends (step S14), the generation of the interview video D6 by the interview video generating unit 17 ends (step S15). Then, the interview video transmitting unit 18 transmits the interview video D6 and the interview record to the recruiter terminal T3 (step S16).

[0115] As shown in Figures 11 and 13, in step S16, the interview video sending unit 18 displays a video sending screen D8 on the interviewer terminal T2. At this time, the interview video D6 is automatically attached, and the interviewer Y enters a note in the remarks entry field D83. The interview video D6 and the note entered in the remarks entry field D83 are sent to the recruiter terminal T3. Note that, together with sending the interview video D6, the interview record entered in the interview record screen D7 may be sent to the recruiter terminal T3.

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

[0117] Then, the recruiter inputs the evaluation of the applicant X into the evaluation screen D10 displayed on the recruiter terminal T3, and presses the confirm button D105 to finalize the evaluation of the applicant X. At this time, the adoption or rejection result notifying unit 19 notifies the server 10 of the adoption or rejection of the applicant X input into the evaluation screen D10 (step S17).

[0118] Then, the hiring / rejection result notification unit 19 transmits the hiring / rejection result of the applicant X to the applicant terminal T1 (step S18). Note that when the recruiter makes a hiring decision, the employment contract unit 20 may prepare an employment contract, and transmit the employment contract together with the hiring notice to the applicant terminal T1 to the applicant terminal T1. Through the above steps, the series of steps of the interview method is completed.

[0119] Next, an interview method according to the modified example will be described with reference to Fig. 14. Fig. 14 is a sequence diagram showing an example of an interview method according to the modified example. Some steps in Fig. 14 overlap with some steps in Fig. 13, so in the following explanation, explanations that overlap with the explanation in Fig. 13 will be omitted as appropriate. First, a recruiter posts a job offer on their company website (step S21).

[0120] 2 and 14, in step S21, the recruiter posts a job posting screen D1 on the company's website. The applicant X browses the job information on the company's website (step S22). The applicant X then inputs applicant information on the company's website and determines the date and time of the interview (step S23).

[0121] Through the above steps, the application notice receiving unit 11 receives an application from applicant X. When the application notice receiving unit 11 receives the application, the applicant information registration unit 12 registers the information of applicant X (step S24). When the interview date and time is determined by applicant X and the information of applicant X is registered, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines interviewer Y (step S25).

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

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

[0124] When the online interview ends (step S31), the interview video generation unit 17 finishes generating the interview video D6 (step S32). Then, the interview video transmission unit 18 transmits the interview video D6 and the interview record to the recruiter's terminal T3 (step S33). The recruiter inputs an evaluation of the applicant X into the evaluation screen D10 displayed on the recruiter's terminal T3, and confirms the evaluation of the applicant X by pressing the confirmation button D105. Then, the employment / rejection result notification unit 19 notifies the server 10 of the employment / rejection of the applicant X inputted into the evaluation screen D10 (step S34). The employment / rejection result notification unit 19 transmits the employment / rejection of the applicant X to the applicant's terminal T1 (step S35). Through the above steps, a series of steps in the interview method according to the modified example are completed.

[0125] In the interview system 1 according to this embodiment, the quality of the interview by the interviewer Y is improved by managing the interviewer Y. The management of the interviewer Y will be described below. As shown in Fig. 15, for example, the server 10 has a function of displaying an interviewer mypage screen D110 on the interviewer terminal T2.

[0126] The interviewer mypage screen D110 has, for example, a rank D111 of interviewer Y, identification information D112 of interviewer Y, a list of interview schedules D113 of interviewer Y, and interview performance D114 of interviewer Y. The rank D111 indicates, for example, the level of interviewer Y. As one example, the rank D111 is determined based on the results of training by the secretariat. The rank D111 may be a five-level evaluation, and may indicate, for example, that rank A is the highest level and rank E is the lowest level.

[0127] For example, the higher the rank D111, the higher the remuneration of interviewer Y. As an example, the remuneration of interviewer Y may be determined by the product of the unit price and the interview performance D114, and the unit price may be higher as the rank D111 is higher. In this case, for example, interviewer Y can increase his rank D111 and increase his remuneration depending on the results of training, thereby increasing his motivation for interviews.

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

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

[0130] The interviewer evaluation screen D120 has, for example, an evaluation input section D121 that allows the evaluation of interviewer Y on multiple levels, a good evaluation input section D122, a bad evaluation input section D123, and an other input section D124. For example, the evaluation input section D121 allows applicant X to input an evaluation of the interview on multiple levels. In the evaluation input section D121, applicant X can input "very good" or "not so good" into radio buttons.

[0131] The good evaluation input section D122 determines the points that the applicant X thought were good during the interview. The good evaluation input section D122 has a plurality of good points listed as items in advance, and the applicant X can select one or more items from the plurality of listed items. The bad evaluation input section D123 determines the points that the applicant X thought were bad during the interview. The bad evaluation input section D123 has a plurality of bad points listed as items in advance, and the applicant X can select one or more items from the plurality of listed items. The other input section D124 inputs points that the applicant X noticed during the interview, etc.

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

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

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

[0135] The applicant's evaluation of interviewer Y indicates, for example, the average evaluation of the applicants input in the evaluation input section D121. The recruiter's evaluation of interviewer Y is displayed, for example, as a company evaluation. Company evaluation will be described in detail later. Note that in addition to the evaluation of interviewer Y, the detailed information list D133 may also display the number of interview appointments, etc.

[0136] The interviewer management screen D130 has, for example, a rank D131, identification information D132, and an edit button D134 for interviewer Y. The rank D131 and identification information D132 are, for example, the same as the above-mentioned rank D111 and identification information D112, respectively. For example, the secretariat can edit the information displayed on the interviewer management screen D130 by pressing the edit button D134.

[0137] 18 shows an example of a summary screen D140 of interviewer Y displayed on the secretariat terminal T4. The summary screen D140 has, for example, an interviewer information list D141. As an example, the interviewer information list D141 displays, for each interviewer, the interviewer's ID, interviewer's name, interviewer's rank, interviewer's email address, the applicant's evaluation of the interviewer, and the recruiter's evaluation of the interviewer. By looking at the interviewer information list D141, the secretariat can see at a glance which interviewers are excellent and have achieved good results.

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

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

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

[0141] For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 may output compatibility data between the interviewer and the recruiter from the evaluation of the recruiter displayed on the evaluation screen D150. As an example, the compatibility data is data that quantifies the degree of matching between the interviewer and the recruiter. The compatibility data may be the number of times the Like button D100 is pressed, or may be data that takes into account factors other than the number of times the Like button D100 is pressed. For example, the value of the compatibility data may be determined by the number of times the Like button D100 is pressed, the age of the interviewer, and the gender of the interviewer. For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines an interviewer whose compatibility data with the recruiter to whom the applicant is applying is equal to or greater than a certain value. In this case, an interviewer who has good compatibility with the recruiter can be automatically determined.

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

[0143] The server 10 has a function of accepting an interview date and time selected by the applicant X from the above candidate dates and times, and a function of notifying the interviewer terminal T2 of the interview date and time. By setting the candidate dates and times of the interview as dates and times that are convenient for the interviewer Y, the interviewer Y can select a date and time that is convenient for him / her, thereby reducing the burden on the interviewer Y. Furthermore, when the server 10 accepts the interview date and time from the applicant terminal T1, the interview date and time is notified to the interviewer terminal T2. Therefore, the interviewer Y is automatically notified of the interview date and time without the interviewer Y having to adjust the interview date and time himself / herself, which also reduces the burden on the interviewer Y. The server 10 has a function of generating a video of the interview by the applicant X and the interviewer Y, and a function of transmitting the generated video to the recruiter. The recruiter can obtain the video of the interview by the applicant X and the interviewer Y if he / she requests it, thereby reducing the burden on the recruiter.

[0144] The applicant terminal T1 has a function of applying to the recruiter via an external site G, and the application acceptance function of the server 10 accepts applications from applicant X via the external site G. In other words, the server 10 cooperates with the external site G to accept applications from applicant X, thereby reducing the load on the server 10 and efficiently acquiring information on applicant X.

[0145] Furthermore, as shown in Fig. 6, Fig. 8(a) and Fig. 8(b), the function of displaying candidate interview dates and times on the applicant terminal T1 displays multiple time slots with fixed time intervals. The first time slot of the multiple time slots is the time slot following the time slot that includes the time when the application was accepted, and the next time slot can be selected on the applicant terminal T1. Therefore, applicant X can be interviewed immediately in the next time slot after applying, so the online interview can start as soon as possible. Therefore, applicant X can be interviewed efficiently, and interviewer Y can also conduct the online interview efficiently.

[0146] In this embodiment, the time interval between each time slot may be 30 minutes or less. In this case, applicant X can take the online interview if he / she waits at most 30 minutes. Therefore, the online interview can be taken more efficiently.

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

[0148] In this embodiment, the external site G may include a recruitment site and the site of the company to which the recruiter belongs. In this case, the applicant X can apply from the recruitment site or from the company's site. This makes it possible to apply more efficiently.

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

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

[0151] As described above, in the interview system 1, interviewer Y interviews applicant X in response to a request from the recruiter. However, there are cases where the recruiter wishes to conduct an online interview with applicant X himself / herself because he / she wants to hear more details from applicant X or has time. To achieve this, the server 10 of the interview system 1 has an interview changeover unit 22, which is a function that accepts a request from the recruiter terminal T3 before the interview that the recruiter will conduct an online interview himself / herself, and after the function is executed, the recruiter conducts the online interview himself / herself. An example of the interview changeover unit 22 will be described below.

[0152] 20, for example, the interview rotation unit 22 displays a list screen D160 of applicant X on the recruiter terminal T3. The list screen D160 has a name display section D161 that displays the name of the applicant X, an organization name display section D162 that displays the name of the organization, a status display section D163, a reservation confirmation time display section D164, a scheduled implementation time display section D165, and a status update time display section D166.

[0153] The name display section D161 displays a list of the names of applicants X. The organization name display section D162 displays, for example, a list of stores to which applicants X are applying. The status display section D163 displays the status of appointments for interviews with applicants X. For example, when the date and time of an interview with applicants X is confirmed, the status display section D163 displays "interview confirmed." The appointment confirmation time display section D164 displays the date and time when the appointment for the interview with applicants X was confirmed, and the scheduled time display section D165 displays the date and time of the interview (the date and time when the interview is scheduled to be conducted). The status update time display section D166 displays the date and time when the status display section D163 was updated.

[0154] On the list screen D160, the recruiter can select an interview with applicant X. The recruiter can select an interview with applicant X whose organization to which the recruiter belongs is displayed in the organization name display section D162, for example. For example, if the recruiter is a store manager, only the information of applicants whose organization name display section D162 is their own store may be displayed on the list screen D160. For example, the recruiter looks at the scheduled implementation time display section D165 and selects an interview with applicant X when the time displayed in the scheduled implementation time display section D165 is a time when the recruiter is available for an interview.

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

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

[0157] For example, the function of changing the person who conducts the interview by the interview change unit 22 can be executed only when the date and time of the interview is a certain time ago or earlier. In other words, the change function can be executed only when it is a certain time ago or earlier from the date and time displayed in the scheduled implementation date and time display unit D174. This makes it possible to prohibit the change of the person who conducts the interview after a certain time ago (for example, immediately before the interview). "A certain time ago or earlier" is, for example, three hours or earlier. However, "a certain time ago or earlier" may be 24 hours or earlier, and is not particularly limited. For example, when the date and time of the interview is a certain time ago or earlier, the interview change button D177 can be pressed, and when the date and time of the interview is later than the certain time, the interview change button D177 cannot be pressed.

[0158] When the interview change button D177 is pressed when it is pressable, the interview change unit 22 displays an interview change confirmation screen D180 on the recruiter terminal T3, as shown in FIG. 22, to confirm whether or not to change the person conducting the interview to the recruiter. The interview change confirmation screen D180 has an email address display section D181, a cancel button D182, and a decide button D183. The email address display section D181 displays the email address of the recruiter. When the cancel button D182 is pressed, the interview change unit 22 displays, for example, the list screen D160 on the recruiter terminal T3. When the decide button D183 is pressed, the interview change unit 22 accepts a request from the recruiter to conduct the interview himself.

[0159] After the recruiter accepts a request to conduct an interview, the change of applicant and interviewer from the recruiter to Interviewer Y is restricted. In other words, once the interviewer is changed to the recruiter, the interviewer cannot be changed back to Interviewer Y. This prevents Interviewer Y from being swayed by the recruiter's schedule.

[0160] After the recruiter accepts a request to conduct an interview himself, changing the person who will be interviewed from the recruiter to another person is restricted. At this time, even if an interview with applicant X is selected on the list screen D160, the interview change button D177 cannot be pressed on the applicant information screen D170 as shown in FIG. 23. In this state, instead of the interview change button D177, a replaced button D179 that cannot be pressed is displayed. Furthermore, after the recruiter accepts a request to conduct an interview himself, a replaced mark may be displayed (for example, to the left of the name) together with the name of the applicant who the recruiter will interview in the name display section D161 on the list screen D160. In this case, it is possible to know which applicants have already been replaced by members of the same organization as the recruiter (applicants who cannot be replaced).

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

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

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

[0164] The boss terminal T5 has a function of displaying a video of an interview conducted by the recruiter. For example, similar to the recruiter terminal T3 shown in FIG. 12, the boss terminal T5 displays a playback screen D9 which is a playback video of the interview video D6. However, the playback screen D9 displayed on the boss terminal T5 does not have to display the remarks section D91 or the evaluation screen D10. In addition, the playback screen D9 displayed on the boss terminal T5 may be for viewing only.

[0165] The number of times recording unit 23 records the number of times the function of accepting a request from a recruiter to conduct an interview is executed. This makes it possible to know how many times each recruiter has replaced interviewer Y. The number of times recorded by the number of times recording unit 23 may be displayed on the supervisor's terminal T5. In this case, the supervisor can know which recruiter frequently replaces interviewers. Furthermore, the recruiter's terminal T3 of the recruiter whose number of times recorded by the number of times recording unit 23 exceeds a certain value may be notified of this. Furthermore, the number of times recording unit 23 may record at least one of how many hours into the interview the recruiter replaced and what time period the interviewer replaced.

[0166] The video recording time recording unit 24 records the recording time of the video of the interview conducted by interviewer Y and the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself. If the interview takes a long time, there is a concern that a large amount of video data will accumulate in the server 10, which will increase system costs. In response to this, when the video recording time recording unit 24 records the recording time as described above, it is possible to identify interviewer Y and recruiters who have taken a long time for the interview, and to issue a warning to the identified interviewer Y and recruiter. In addition, in order to avoid the accumulation of a large amount of video data, the online interview may be forcibly terminated when the recording time of the online interview reaches or exceeds a predetermined time (for example, 30 minutes or more).

[0167] As described above, the server 10 has an interview rotation unit 22 that receives a request from the recruiter's terminal T3 before the interview that the recruiter will conduct the interview himself. Therefore, the recruiter can interview the applicant X himself when he wants to interview the applicant X. Furthermore, as described above, the server 10 has a function of notifying the recruiter that an interview reservation has been made, so that the recruiter can understand the content of the interview he will conduct. As described above, the function of generating a video may generate a video of the interview that the recruiter conducted himself. In this case, the recruiter can later review the video of the interview with the applicant X that he interviewed and evaluate the applicant.

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

[0169] As described above, the function of accepting requests may be executable only if it is within a certain time before the date and time of the interview. In this case, it is possible to prevent the change of interviewer to the recruiter after a certain time before the date and time of the interview. In other words, it is possible to prevent the sudden change of interviewer just before the interview.

[0170] As described above, after the function of accepting the request is executed, the change of the person interviewing the applicant X from recruiter to interviewer may be restricted. In this case, once the person interviewing has been changed to recruiter, it is possible to prohibit the person interviewing from changing back to interviewer Y.

[0171] As described above, the server 10 may have a count recording unit 23 for recording the number of times the request acceptance function has been executed. In this case, the number of times the interviewer has been replaced by the recruiter can be recorded.

[0172] As described above, the server 10 may have a recording time recording unit 24 that records the recording time of the video of the interview by interviewer Y and the video of the interview conducted by the recruiter himself. In this case, since the recording time of the video of the interview can be known, it is possible to warn people whose interview time is too long. Therefore, it is possible to suppress an increase in the capacity of the video data of the interview and reduce the cost of the server 10.

[0173] The above describes an embodiment of the interview system and interview method according to the present disclosure. As described above, the recruiter can evaluate the applicant while watching the interview video D6, and can also evaluate the interviewer while watching the interview video D6. In addition, the applicant evaluates the interviewer after the interview is completed. That is, the applicant inputs an evaluation of the interviewer into an evaluation form for evaluating the interviewer, and the evaluation form with the evaluation input is uploaded to the server 10. For example, the interviewer determination unit 16 determines the interviewer according to the evaluation of the interviewer accumulated in the server 10. Specifically, more interview opportunities may be given to interviewers with higher evaluations, and fewer interview opportunities may be given to interviewers with lower evaluations. In this case, it is possible to further improve the quality of the interviewers.

[0174] However, the interview system and interview method according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-mentioned embodiments, and may be modified or applied to other things without changing the gist of the claims. In other words, the configuration and function of each part of the interview system, and the content and order of each step of the interview method may be modified as appropriate without changing the gist of the above.

[0175] For example, in the above-mentioned embodiment, the display control unit 32 displays the screen of the interview system 1 on each of the applicant terminal T1, the interviewer terminal T2, and the recruiter terminal T3. In the above-mentioned embodiment, an example was described in which the job offer screen D1, the applicant basic information input screen D2, the interview date and time adjustment screen D3, the interview guide screen D4, the interview date and time confirmation screen D5, the interview video D6, the interview record screen D7, the video transmission screen D8, the playback screen D9, the evaluation screen D10, the list screen D160, the applicant information screen D170, the interview change confirmation screen D180, and the interview information notification email D190 are displayed. However, the layout and display contents of these screens, etc. can be changed as appropriate. For example, the buttons displayed on the screen may be, for example, links, or may be in a form other than a button.

[0176] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the employment contract unit 20 creates an employment contract, and the employment contract is sent to the applicant terminal T1 together with a notice of acceptance or rejection. However, it is also possible that an employment contract does not need to be created, and the employment contract unit 20 can be omitted. Also, in the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the recruiter evaluates the applicant using the evaluation screen D10. However, the recruiter may evaluate the applicant without using the evaluation screen D10.

[0177] In the above embodiment, an example has been described in which the interviewer inputs the applicant's answers in the answer field, and the answers are uploaded to the server 10. However, for example, the applicant may input answers in the answer field during or after the interview, and the answers input by the applicant may be uploaded to the server 10. That is, the applicant himself, not the interviewer, may upload answers to questions. Also, the applicant may upload information other than the interview video. Furthermore, the applicant may input answers, and after the answers are uploaded to the server 10, the interviewer may upload the interview video D6.
