Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present disclosure relates to a program, a method, and an information processing apparatus.

Background Art

[0002] In conducting business activities, it is common to recruit human resources. For example, an employment advertisement for recruiting store staff is posted on the company's website, job-hunting media, etc., and applications from applicants are accepted. Applicants search for information such as working hours, number of working days, salary, workplace, etc., submit a resume when applying for a job opening, and start working at the store after going through an interview with the hiring staff and being hired.

[0003] Patent Document 1 focuses on the problem that "when a job seeker is looking for a position in a company or employer, when applying for a position, it is often necessary to separately submit a resume, evidence of qualifications, degree, recommendation letter, test scores, contact information, etc. to each potential employer. This wastes a significant amount of time for both the job seeker who has to submit the same document multiple times and the potential employer who has to verify the authenticity of the information provided by each job seeker." The technology described in Patent Document 1 is described.

[0004] Patent Document 1 describes, as technical means for solving the problem, "generating an employer account accessible by the employer", "generating a job seeker account accessible by the job seeker", "storing job seeker information items associated with the job seeker account in a database", "the job seeker information items including at least one private job seeker information item", "requesting and receiving consent from the job seeker account to allow the employer account to access at least one private job seeker information item", and "permitting access to at least one private job seeker information item by the employer via the employer account in accordance with the consent from the job seeker account".

[0005] According to the technology described in Patent Document 1, "a job-seeking media platform (job information management system) can simplify the job-seeking or recruitment process while providing high-level privacy to job seekers."

Summary of the Invention

Problems to be Solved by the Invention

[0007] As described above, efforts are being made to promote the matching between job seekers and job guidance information. Nevertheless, labor shortages are recognized in various industries. This indicates that job seekers may not be hired even after contacting and applying for job guidance information, and thus it is necessary to further reduce the effort required for job seekers to obtain employment in their desired jobs and the effort required for employers to make hires.

[0008] Therefore, from the perspective of having job seekers receive job offers for the jobs they wish to work in, there is a need for a technology that further promotes the matching between job seekers and employers.

Means for Solving the Problems

[0009] According to an embodiment shown in the present disclosure, a program for operating a computer including a processor and a storage unit is provided. The storage unit stores the history of job applications made by a job seeker user to a store on the employer side. The program causes the processor to perform steps of identifying other stores in the same group as the store to which the job seeker user applied, obtaining information on the employability of the store to which the application was made for the application made by the job seeker user, and presenting information on the other identified stores in the same group to the job seeker user who made the application for applications that were not hired at the store to which the application was made.

Advantages of the Invention

[0010] According to the present disclosure, from the perspective of offering a job offer to a job seeker for the job they wish to work for, the matching between job seekers and employers can be further promoted.

Best Mode for Carrying Out the Invention

[0012] Hereinafter, embodiments of the present disclosure will be described with reference to the drawings. In the following description, the same parts are denoted by the same reference numerals. Their names and functions are also the same. Therefore, detailed descriptions thereof will not be repeated.

[0013] <Outline of Embodiment> Conventionally, when trying to recruit and hire employees (such as part-time workers) in a store or the like, the following hiring process has been followed.

[0014] Job seeker's "application" → Employer's "document screening" (primary judgment) → "Interview schedule adjustment" by the job seeker and the employer (email, phone call, etc.) → Interview by the job seeker and the employer (confirming the resume) → Employer's "pass / fail judgment" → "Pass / fail notice" from the employer to the job seeker (email, phone call, etc.) Therefore, processes such as communication, schedule adjustment, and interviews have been required.

[0015] In the prior art, efforts have been made to facilitate the matching between job seekers and job information, such as making it easier for job seekers to search for job information. However, there is a need for a technology that can further improve the matching between job seekers and job offers by further shortening the process from application to hiring.

[0016] In this embodiment, applicants apply for job information using a messaging tool such as SNS, and through the chat between the chatbot on the messaging tool and the job seeker, information necessary for the application (information in the resume such as address and phone number) can be created. The applicant records their own video to serve as a PR video, enabling the employer to make a hiring decision.

[0017] Thereby, by making the hiring process as follows, the burden on both job seekers and employers is reduced, and the matching rate between job seekers and job offers is further improved. Job seeker's "application" → By enabling interaction with the chatbot on the messaging tool, it is possible to respond to job seeker Q&A 24 hours a day while creating the information necessary for the application → Employer's "acceptance or rejection judgment" (such as viewing the PR video) → "Acceptance or rejection notice" from the employer to the job seeker (automatic notice by the system)

[0018] As described above, even without the job seeker creating a resume in a fixed format (collecting the information necessary for the application on the system), and without scheduling or conducting interviews, by determining the acceptance or rejection based on the PR video, it is possible to shorten the period from application to employment. As a result, applicants can quickly apply to other stores.

[0019] Also, as an operation for application, by having the job seeker's terminal read the two-dimensional code posted at the storefront or the two-dimensional code published in the job information on the website, it is possible to make the operation of applying to the store intended by the job seeker even easier.

[0020] Also, in the description of the following embodiments, when a job seeker applies to a specific store and wants to work under the brand of that store (application starting from the store), even if the applicant does not get hired at the store to which they applied, a technique for recommending the applicant to other stores in the same group (for example, the same brand) will be described. This can increase the overall employment possibility for the group while further increasing the possibility for the applicant to obtain an offer for the job type (working under the brand they want to work for) they applied for.

[0021] <1.1 Overall system configuration diagram> Figure 1 is a diagram showing the configuration of system 1.

[0022] The system 1 shown in FIG. 1 includes a server 20 of an employment support service that supports the employment activities of employers, terminals 10 and 10A of employer users, a terminal 12 of a job seeker, a server 92 of a route search service, a server 94 of a payment service, a server 96 of a messaging service, and a server 98 of an artificial intelligence service (hereinafter, may also be referred to as the "server 98 of the large language model service"). These devices are communicatively connected via a network 80.

[0023] In the illustrated example, as the terminals used by the users of the employment support service provided by the server 20, terminal 10 and 10A are shown for the employer side, and terminal 12 is shown for the job seeker side, but each user is operating the terminal. Also, assume that the user of terminal 10 and the user of terminal 10A are users of different organizations (for example, each store in the same group) that conduct different employment activities.

[0024] The server 20 provides a service that supports applications to job information at stores by job seekers, such as receiving the posting of job information from employers and providing job information to job seekers (hereinafter, may also be referred to as "applicants" who apply for job information).

The server 92 of the route search service manages information such as the timetables of each transportation company, searches for a plurality of routes from the departure place to the destination, and responds to the user with the time required for the movement. In the present embodiment, when an applicant applies for the job information of a store, in response to the request of the server 20, the server 92 of the route search service searches for the route along which the applicant commutes to the store. The server 20 extracts the store to which the applicant applied, the brand name, and other stores whose operators are the same or related (for example, group companies, etc.) from within the commuting route of the applicant or on the extension of the route.

[0027] The server 94 of the settlement service provides settlement means in a prepaid manner or a postpaid manner using a credit card or the like. The settlement service provided by the server 94 may be available to one user according to the telephone number of the mobile phone (it may be necessary to authenticate by the telephone number when using the settlement service). For example, the payment of the salary when the applicant is employed and performs work may be made to the account balance of the user of the server 94 of the settlement service.

[0028] The server 96 of the messaging service provides a function for sending and receiving messages through chats between users. The messaging service provided by the server 96 may be available to one user according to the telephone number of the mobile phone. For example, the communication between the applicant and the job seeker may be carried out by the messaging service.

[0029] The server 98 of the artificial intelligence service (the server 98 of the large language model service) receives inputs of prompts by text, image, voice, etc., and generates and responds with answers to the prompts. Examples of LLMs include GPT-3, GPT-4, GPT-4o developed by OpenAI, BERT developed by Google, Claude developed by Anthropic, etc.

[0150] <3 Operations> Figure 9 is a flowchart showing the process flow for accepting an applicant's application from the applicant to the store.

[0151] In step S921, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 refers to the job information database 213 and outputs an operation screen that can search for job information while displaying the job information to the applicant's terminal 12.

[0152] In step S911, the terminal 12 displays an operation screen, accepts an operation from the user to search for job information, and displays the job information. The terminal 12 accepts an operation from the user to apply for the job information. The terminal 12 accepts from the user a designation of whether or not to recommend to other stores. Specifically, the terminal 12 accepts from the user an operation of whether or not to provide the user's information to other stores in the same group as the store where the application was made, and transmits the operation content to the server 20.

[0153] The terminal 12 may accept from the user of the job seeker an operation of whether or not to provide the user's information of the job seeker to other stores in the same group before the store where the application was made notifies the user of the job seeker of the employment decision.

[0154] In step S923, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 outputs to the terminal 12 an operation screen for accepting the input of the applicant's information such as an interview video required for the application.

[0155] In step S913, the terminal 12 displays an operation screen for applying, and accepts from the user the applicant's information required for the application including the interview video.

[0156] In step S925, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 accepts the applicant's information and updates the application history database 214. The store extraction module 2046 identifies other stores in the same group (for example, the same brand, the same or related operators who operate the brand) as the store to which the application is made. The application management module 2045 updates the application history database 214 as information on other recommended stores.

[0157] Here, the store extraction module 2046 identifies other stores of the same group within a range estimated to be within the action radius of the user of the job seeker. The store extraction module 2046 obtains information on the movement route of the user of the job seeker to the store where the application was made from a service such as the server 92 of the route search service, and identifies other stores of the same group based on the obtained movement route information. The movement route information includes information on routes such as railways and buses. Multiple route candidates may be extracted with the user's address and the address of the store where the user applied as the starting point and the destination. Also, candidates for routes using different lines (for example, a route candidate using railway line A and a route candidate using railway line B) may be extracted.

[0158] The store extraction module 2046 may also identify other stores of the same group based on the affiliation of the user of the job seeker to which the application pertains. For example, depending on the location of the affiliated facility, other stores in its vicinity may be identified.

[0159] In step S927, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 outputs an operation screen indicating that an application has been received to the terminal 12.

[0160] In step S915, the terminal 12 displays on the operation screen that the application has been completed.

[0161] FIG. 10 is a flowchart showing the flow of a process of recommending an applicant to a store other than the store to which the applicant applied.

[0162] In step S1021, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 refers to the application history database 214 and notifies the user of the store where the application was made of the applicant's information. The application management module 2045 receives an input of the result of employment approval or disapproval from the user of the store where the application was made and updates the application history database 214.

[0163] The application management module 2045 has received information on the reasons for not hiring the applicant from the users of the store where the application was made. For example, when the applicant meets the requirements for the position applied for but cannot be hired due to the circumstances of the store, the application management module 2045 obtains information indicating this from the users of the store where the application was made.

[0164] In addition, the application management module 2045 may receive a designation from the users of the store where the application was made as to whether to recommend the applicant to other stores, and update the application history database 214.

[0165] In step S1023, when the application management module 2045 of the server 20 fails to hire the applicant at the store where the application was made, it updates the pool talent employment history database 215 for recommendation to other stores according to the reason. When the application management module 2045 can provide the information of the applicant user to each store in the same group (for example, referring to the application history database 214 and the applicant permits the recommendation to other stores), in addition to the store where the application was made, it provides the information of the applicant user to other stores in the same group that are specified.

[0166] In step S1011, the terminal 10A (other store) displays the information of the recommended applicant and receives a designation of employment or not from the users of that other store. The terminal 10A transmits the result of the user's designation of employment or not to the server 20.

[0167] In step S1025, the application management module 2045 of the server 20 updates the pool talent employment history database 215 based on the designation of employment or not of the applicant at other stores.

[0168] In step S1027, if it is applicable to other stores, the recruitment management module 2045 of the server 20 notifies the applicant of the information of the other store as a re - recruitment candidate. In this way, for the applications that are not to be adopted at the store where the application was made, the recruitment management module 2045 presents the information of other stores in the specific same group to the user of the job seeker who made the application.

[0169] Specifically, the recruitment management module 2045 may present the information of the stores in the specific same group to the user of the job seeker when the recruitment does not succeed due to the circumstances of the store.

[0170] The recruitment management module 2045 may preferentially present to the applicant the other stores in the same group with an emergency degree registration. Here, the store management module 2044 receives the registration of the recruitment emergency degree from each store in the group and updates the store database 212.

[0171] Also, the recruitment management module 2045 may preferentially present to the applicant the information of the other stores in the same group associated with the information that it is possible to recruit, by referring to the pool talent recruitment history database 215.

[0172] In step S1029, the recruitment management module 2045 of the server 20 updates the pool talent recruitment history database 215 based on the applicant's operation in response to the notification of the information of other stores.

[0173] The recruitment management module 2045 may present the information of other stores in the specific same group to the user of the job seeker, and receive from the user of the job seeker an operation of re - applying while invoking the information necessary for recruitment that the user of the job seeker has already submitted to the store for the other stores in the specific same group.

[0174] In addition, in the above example, a configuration was described in which the applicant is notified of stores among other recommended stores that are eligible for employment. In addition to this, the recruitment management module 2045 may present information on other recommended stores to the applicant before the other recommended stores specify whether employment is possible, and accept re-application from the user of the job seeker. The recruitment management module 2045 acquires information on whether employment is possible from other stores in the same group for which re-application has been made, and updates the pool human resource employment history database 215.

[0226] <Modification example> In addition to the aspects described in the above embodiment, the following may also be adopted.

[0227] (1) Access to job information In the above example, an example in which a job seeker searches for and displays job information on a website has been described. In addition to this, the two-dimensional code installed at the storefront may include a link for applying for the job information at the storefront, and the link may refer to the SNS account of the store to which the application is made (for example, the service provided by the server 96 of the messaging service). Thereby, by the applicant chatting on the SNS account of the store to which the application is made, it is possible to input application information and present an application screen to the applicant.

[0228] In addition, the job offer information includes job offer information for multiple stores in a store group, and it may also be possible to apply for job offers at each store. For example, the two-dimensional code installed at the storefront may include a link to which the job offer information for multiple stores in the store group is posted. When an applicant reads the two-dimensional code with their own terminal and applies to any of the multiple stores in the same group posted in the link, the applicant may be recommended with other stores posted in the link as the recommended destination. The two-dimensional code may be posted at each store in the group regardless of whether the store is hiring or not. Also, in the SNS account operated by the group's business operator, a post including a link to which the job offer information for the above-mentioned multiple stores in the same group is posted may be made, and it may be possible for the applicant to view and apply for the post. As a result, for example, a user who is a fan of the group's brand can be further motivated to work at the stores of the same brand, and the possibility of employment at the store can also be further increased.

[0229] (2) Promotion of setting urgency In the above example, in the store database 212, an example of registering the urgency of employment and information on the scale of the store was explained. The store manages the shift information of employees, and when a staff shortage is expected based on the number of employees (the possibility of filling shifts) and information on the scale of the store (for example, the adequacy of staff can be determined from the number of days when it is possible to work in the shift, the number of employees, and the business hours of the store), it may be possible to notify the store manager whether to increase the urgency of employment.
