[Modes for carrying out the invention] 【0009】 Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The various features shown in the embodiments below can be combined with each other. 【0010】 Incidentally, the program for implementing the software appearing in one embodiment may be provided as a non-transitory computer-readable medium, or it may be provided as a downloadable medium from an external server, or it may be provided so that the program is launched on an external computer and its functions are realized on a client terminal (so-called cloud computing). 【0011】 Furthermore, in various information processing according to one embodiment, an input and an output corresponding to the input can be realized. Here, as long as an output is obtained as a result of the input, the form of the information referenced in such information processing (hereinafter referred to as "reference information") is not limited. The reference information may be, for example, rule-based information such as a database, a lookup table, or a predetermined function (including a decision formula such as a regression equation constructed by a statistical method), or a pre-trained model that has learned the correlation between input and output in advance, or a large-scale language model that can output a desired result by inputting a prompt. 【0012】 Furthermore, in one embodiment, "part" may include, for example, hardware resources implemented by a circuit in a broad sense, and the information processing of software that can be specifically realized by these hardware resources. Also, in one embodiment, various types of information are handled, and this information can be represented, for example, by the physical values ​​of signal values ​​representing voltage and current, the high or low values ​​of signal values ​​as a set of binary bits composed of 0s or 1s, or by quantum superposition (so-called qubits), and communication and calculations can be performed on a circuit in a broad sense. 【0013】 Furthermore, a circuit in a broad sense is a circuit realized by combining at least a suitable combination of circuits, circuits, processors, and memory. The processor may be a general-purpose processor or a dedicated circuit. In other words, it includes application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs), programmable logic devices (for example, simple programmable logic devices (SPLDs), complex programmable logic devices (CPLDs), and field programmable gate arrays (FPGAs)), etc. 【0014】 1. Hardware Configuration In this section, the hardware configuration will be described. 【0015】 <Job Recruitment Support System 1> FIG. 1 is a configuration diagram showing the Job Recruitment Support System 1. The Job Recruitment Support System 1 includes a communication line 2, a server device 10, a plurality of employer terminals 20, and a plurality of applicant terminals 30. The server device 10, the employer terminals 20, and the applicant terminals 30 are configured to be able to communicate with each other through the communication line 2. The connections of the server device 10, the employer terminals 20, and the applicant terminals 30 may be wired or wireless. 【0016】 The Job Recruitment Support System 1 constitutes at least a part of a job recruitment and application system used by, for example, a plurality of employers (First Employer U1 and Second Employer U2) and a plurality of applicants (First Applicant U3 and Second Applicant U4). The Job Recruitment Support System 1 mainly performs searches for applicants by employers, sending scout mails to applicants, etc. In one embodiment, the Job Recruitment Support System 1 consists of one or more devices or components. Hereinafter, these components will be described. 【0017】 <Server Device 10> FIG. 2 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the server device 10. The server device 10 includes a control unit 11, a storage unit 12, a communication unit 13, and a communication bus 14. The control unit 11, the storage unit 12, and the communication unit 13 are electrically connected inside the server device 10 via the communication bus 14. 【0018】 <Control Unit 11> The control unit 11 performs processing and control of the overall operation related to the server device 10. The control unit 11 is, for example, a Central Processing Unit (CPU). The control unit 11 realizes various functions related to the server device 10 by reading predetermined programs stored in the memory unit 12. That is, information processing by software stored in the memory unit 12 is concretely realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11. These will be described in more detail in the next section. Note that the control unit 11 is not limited to being a single unit; the server device 10 may have multiple control units 11 for each function, or a combination thereof. 【0019】 <Storage section 12> The storage unit 12 stores various types of information as defined above. This can be done, for example, as a storage device such as a solid-state drive (SSD) that stores various programs related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11, or as memory such as random access memory (RAM) that stores temporarily necessary information (arguments, arrays, etc.) related to program calculations. The storage unit 12 stores various programs, variables, etc. related to the server device 10 executed by the control unit 11. 【0020】 <Communications Department 13> The communication unit 13 preferably uses wired communication methods such as USB, IEEE1394, Thunderbolt®, and wired LAN network communication, but may also include wireless LAN network communication, mobile communication such as 3G / LTE / 5G, and Bluetooth® communication as needed. In other words, it is more preferable to implement it as a collection of these multiple communication methods. That is, the server device 10 may communicate various information from the outside via the communication unit 13 and the network. 【0021】 The server device 10 may be on-premises or in a cloud environment. The cloud-based server device 10 may provide the above-mentioned functions and processing in the form of, for example, SaaS (Software as a Service) or cloud computing. 【0022】 <Job seeker terminal 20> Figure 3 is a block diagram showing the hardware configuration of the recruiter terminal 20 and the job seeker terminal 30. As shown in Figure 3A, the recruiter terminal 20 comprises a control unit 21, a storage unit 22, a communication unit 23, an input unit 24, an output unit 25, and a communication bus 26. The control unit 21, storage unit 22, communication unit 23, input unit 24, and output unit 25 are electrically connected within the recruiter terminal 20 via the communication bus 26. The recruiter terminal 20 is an information processing terminal used in the work of each recruiter, who is a user belonging to an organization that receives services provided by the server device 10. The descriptions of the control unit 21, storage unit 22, and communication unit 23 are the same as the descriptions of each part of the server device 10 and are therefore omitted. 【0023】 <Input section 24> The input unit 24 receives operation inputs made by the user. The operation inputs are transmitted as command signals to the control unit 21 via the communication bus 26. The control unit 21 can perform predetermined controls or calculations based on the transmitted command signals as needed. The input unit 24 may be included in the housing of the job seeker terminal 20 or it may be an external component. For example, the input unit 24 may be implemented as a touch panel integrated with the output unit 25. When the input unit 24 is implemented as a touch panel, the user can input tap operations, swipe operations, etc. to the input unit 24. Instead of a touch panel, the input unit 24 can be a switch button, mouse, trackpad, QWERTY keyboard, etc. 【0024】 <Output section 25> The output unit 25 displays a graphical user interface (GUI) screen that can be operated by the user. The output unit 25 may be included in the housing of the job seeker terminal 20 or it may be an external device. Specifically, the output unit 25 can be implemented as a display device such as a CRT display, liquid crystal display, organic EL display, or plasma display. It is preferable that these display devices be used according to the type of job seeker terminal 20. 【0025】 <Job seeker terminal 30> As shown in Figure 3B, the job seeker terminal 30 comprises a control unit 31, a storage unit 32, a communication unit 33, an input unit 34, an output unit 35, and a communication bus 36. The control unit 31, storage unit 32, communication unit 33, input unit 34, and output unit 35 are electrically connected within the job seeker terminal 30 via the communication bus 36. The job seeker terminal 30 is an information processing terminal used by each job seeker who is a user receiving services provided by the server device 10. The descriptions of the control unit 31, storage unit 32, communication unit 33, input unit 34, and output unit 35 are the same as the descriptions of each part in the employer terminal 20 and are therefore omitted. 【0026】 2. Functional Configuration This section describes the functional configuration of this embodiment. Information processing by software stored in the memory unit 12 is specifically realized by the control unit 11, which is an example of hardware, and can be executed as each functional unit included in the control unit 11 (at least one processor provided by the adoption support system 1). 【0027】 Figure 4 is a block diagram showing the functions realized by the server device 10 (control unit 11), the job seeker terminal 20 (control unit 21), and the job seeker terminal 30 (control unit 31). 【0028】 As shown in Figure 4A, the server device 10 (control unit 11) comprises a basic display control unit 111, a stock management unit 112, a search unit 113, a sender selection unit 114, a scout message creation unit 115, a selection reception unit 116, a decision unit 117, a transmission unit 118, and an artificial intelligence unit 120. As shown in Figure 4B, the recruiter terminal 20 (control unit 21) comprises a display unit 211 and an operation acquisition unit 212. As shown in Figure 4C, the job seeker terminal 30 (control unit 31) comprises a display unit 311 and an operation acquisition unit 312. 【0029】 <Basic display control unit 111> The basic display control unit 111 is configured to display various information on the employer terminal 20 and the job seeker terminal 30. For example, the basic display control unit 111 displays the job posting and scouting message created by the employer, the registration information created by the job seeker, etc., on the display unit 211 of the employer terminal 20 or the display unit 311 of the job seeker terminal 30. 【0030】 Employers include organizations such as for-profit corporations (e.g., companies), non-profit organizations (e.g., cooperatives, foundations), and public corporations (e.g., local governments). Employers also include recruitment agencies that act as intermediaries between job seekers and organizations. These recruitment agencies are also known as headhunters or agents. 【0031】 Job seeker registration information is information about job seekers registered in the job seeker database. The job seeker database is stored, for example, in the memory unit 12. The job seeker registration information also includes the job seeker's resume, work history, and other profile information. A "resume" is a document that mainly describes the job seeker's profile, current situation, educational background, work history, desired working conditions, etc. A "work history," also called a resume, is a document in which the job seeker conveys their past work experience, skills, qualifications, etc. to the employer. The job seeker registration information may also include the industry and job type that the job seeker desires. 【0032】 <Stock Management Department 112> The stock management unit 112 is configured to manage the stock of scout emails that employers send to job seekers based on job postings. The stock of scout emails represents the number of scout emails that employers can send to job seekers and is consumed each time a scout email is sent. The stock of scout emails is managed for each employer (organization or recruitment agency). 【0033】 The stock management unit 112 manages the stock of two types of scout emails: regular scout emails and dedicated scout emails. Dedicated scout emails are scout emails that can only be sent to specific job seekers who meet the sending conditions from among the job seekers registered in the job seeker database. 【0034】 The conditions for sending a dedicated scout email are that no job-seeking activities have been performed for a specified period, or that the number of job-seeking activities performed during the specified period is less than a specified number. "Job-seeking activities" include, for example, actions related to specific job postings such as viewing job postings, applying for jobs, adding job postings to bookmark lists, and replying to scout emails sent based on job postings, as well as all actions related to job-seeking activities by job seekers, such as logging into the recruitment support service provided by Recruitment Support System 1 and editing one's own registration information. This makes it possible to increase the number of scout emails sent to inactive job seekers (specific job seekers) who have little (or no) job-seeking activity. 【0035】 For example, the stock management unit 112 may determine that a job seeker who has not performed a predetermined specific action, such as logging into the recruitment support service or viewing job postings, for a predetermined period (e.g., 30 days) meets the conditions for sending a dedicated scout email (i.e., is a designated job seeker). The stock management unit 112 may also determine that a job seeker who has performed a predetermined number of specific actions, such as logging into the recruitment support service or viewing job postings, within a predetermined period from the present to the past meets the conditions for sending a dedicated scout email. In addition to job-seeking actions, the stock management unit 112 may also add job seeker attributes (e.g., age, work history, annual income, etc.) to the conditions for sending the email. 【0036】 Furthermore, dedicated recruitment emails may be sent repeatedly to the same specific job seeker. Also, dedicated recruitment emails may be sent multiple times to the same specific job seeker on the same day. 【0037】 A standard scout email is a scout email that can be sent to any job seeker registered in the job seeker database, including specific job seekers and job seekers other than specific job seekers (typically, all job seekers who can receive scout emails). Standard scout emails may be further divided into types depending on the range of job seekers to whom they can be sent, the price per email (purchase price per stock), etc., and the stock management unit 112 may manage stocks of multiple types of standard scout emails. For example, a first standard scout email that can only be sent to job seekers with specific attributes and a second standard scout email that can be sent regardless of the job seeker's attributes, etc., may be distinguished, and the stocks of each may be managed by the stock management unit 112. 【0038】 Furthermore, job seekers do not distinguish between the types of recruitment emails they receive (whether they are dedicated recruitment emails or regular recruitment emails). In other words, the type of recruitment email received is not displayed on the job seeker's terminal 30. 【0039】 The stock of regular recruitment emails is managed separately from the stock of dedicated recruitment emails. In other words, when a recruiter sends a dedicated recruitment email, the stock of dedicated recruitment emails is consumed according to the number of dedicated recruitment emails sent, and when a recruiter sends a regular recruitment email, the stock of regular recruitment emails is consumed according to the number of regular recruitment emails sent. 【0040】 The stock of regular scout emails is basically increased by the purchase of scout emails by recruiters. For example, the stock management unit 112 accepts advance purchases of regular scout emails from recruiters before sending them and increases the stock of the accepted number of purchases. For example, recruiters are charged an amount corresponding to the number of regular scout emails purchased, or an amount corresponding to the number of regular scout emails purchased and the unit price of regular scout emails. In addition, if the stock of regular scout emails is insufficient, recruiters may be charged an amount corresponding to the number of stocks that were insufficient after sending the regular scout emails. 【0041】 The stock management unit 112 grants a stock of dedicated scout emails to employers free of charge at predetermined intervals. These "predetermined intervals" could be, for example, weekly, every 10 days, or monthly. For instance, if the stock management unit 112 grants dedicated scout emails weekly, the stock will be granted to employers at 0:00 on Monday. While there is no limit to the number of dedicated scout emails granted to individual employers at one time, it is typically around 100. This allows for an increase in the number of scout emails sent to inactive job seekers (specific job seekers) who have little (or no) job-seeking activity. This can help inactive job seekers become active job seekers, thereby revitalizing the matching process between employers and job seekers. 【0042】 A stock of exclusive scout emails may have an expiration date. The stock management unit 112 may delete stocks of exclusive scout emails that have reached their expiration date and also grant a predetermined number of new stocks of exclusive scout emails. This encourages recruiters to use exclusive scout emails within their expiration period. The expiration date may be the same as the interval at which stocks of exclusive scout emails are granted. In this case, stocks of exclusive scout emails that have not been consumed within their expiration date are deleted, and new stocks of exclusive scout emails are added at the same time. In other words, the stock management unit 112 may reset the stock of exclusive scout emails to a predetermined number at the time of granting stocks of exclusive scout emails, regardless of the remaining stock. In this case, the number of stocks of exclusive scout emails will not exceed the predetermined number. 【0043】 The stock management unit 112 may grant stocks of exclusive scout emails to all job seekers, or it may grant stocks of exclusive scout emails only to job seekers who meet certain conditions. For example, the stock management unit 112 may determine whether a job seeker is a recruitment agency (agent, etc.) based on their attributes (registration information), and grant stocks of exclusive scout emails to job seekers who meet the conditions of a recruitment agency. In other words, the stock management unit 112 may grant stocks of exclusive scout emails only to accounts used by recruitment agencies (agents, etc.) among the job seekers. Furthermore, the stock management unit 112 may change the number of stocks of exclusive scout emails granted to each job seeker (a predetermined number) according to each job seeker's attributes, etc. 【0044】 The stock management unit 112 may allocate stock of regular scout emails in response to replies from specific job seekers to dedicated scout emails. This provides employers with an incentive to use dedicated scout emails and encourages sending dedicated scout emails to specific job seekers who are likely to reply. 【0045】 The stock management unit 112 may assign one regular scout email to the stock for each reply from a job seeker. In this case, even if the same job seeker sends multiple replies, the number of regular scout emails assigned will be 1. Alternatively, the stock management unit 112 may assign one regular scout email to the stock for each reply, regardless of which job seeker sent the reply. In this case, for example, if the same job seeker sends two replies, the number of regular scout emails assigned will be 2. 【0046】 The stock management unit 112 may, for example, display the number of stocks of dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails, the expiration date of dedicated scout emails (remaining time until reset), etc., on the management screen for individual recruiters' scout emails. 【0047】 <Search section 113> The search unit 113 is configured to perform a search for job seekers based on search criteria. In the job seeker search, the search unit 113 receives input of search criteria (search queries) for the job seeker database from the employer terminal 20 and searches for job seekers based on those search criteria. The search unit 113 displays the search results for job seekers based on the search criteria on the employer terminal 20. 【0048】 The search unit 113 may receive a filtering instruction from the recruiter terminal 20 to narrow down the results to specific job seekers and display the search results, which extract specific job seekers, on the recruiter terminal 20. This allows the recruiter to select who to send the dedicated recruitment emails to from among the job seekers who are eligible to receive them. 【0049】 Figure 5 shows an example of the job seeker search results display screen RD displayed on the job seeker terminal 20. The search results display screen RD includes a query display field QF, an overall checkbox CB1, a sort object SO, a filtering object NO, and a result display area RA. 【0050】 The query display field QF displays the search query (search keywords) used for the search. The condition change button B11 is also located in the query display field QF. When an input operation is performed on the condition change button B11, the search query input screen (input field) is displayed. The overall checkbox CB1 is an object used to select all searched job seekers at once. In the example in Figure 5, the total number of searched job seekers is displayed next to the overall checkbox CB1. 【0051】 The sort object SO accepts the setting of the sort order of job seekers in the results display area RA. For example, the sort object SO can be a pull-down list from which a pre-defined attribute (parameter) used for sorting can be selected. In the example in Figure 5, "Login Date and Time" (sorted by the most recent login date to the recruitment support service) is selected as the sorting attribute. 【0052】 The filtering object number accepts operations to apply and remove filtering for specific job seekers (displayed as "Temporarily Not Logged In" in the example of Figure 5) among the job seekers displayed in the results display area RA. For example, a toggle switch can be used as the filtering object number to turn filtering for specific job seekers on or off. In the example of Figure 5, the state in which filtering for specific job seekers (temporarily not logged in) is enabled (the toggle switch is turned on) is shown. In the example of Figure 5, the specific action is defined as "logging in to the recruitment support service," and job seekers who have not logged in for a specified period (temporarily not logged in) are defined as specific job seekers. 【0053】 The results display area RA displays a list of job seeker information JIs that meet the search criteria. If filtering conditions are enabled, only job seeker information JIs that meet both the search criteria and the filtering conditions will be displayed. Furthermore, the job seeker information JIs are displayed in the order set by the sort object SO. Each job seeker information JI contains information about the job seeker (e.g., age, address, current annual income, current organization, current job title, current position, educational background, skills, work history, work history, etc.) and information indicating that the person is a specific job seeker (in the example in Figure 5, the keyword is "temporarily not logged in"). Note that the information indicating that the person is a specific job seeker is not limited to text information and may include icons, tags, etc. Each job seeker information JI is also assigned an individual checkbox CB2. Employers select a job seeker information JI by performing an input operation on the individual checkbox CB2 of the job seeker information JI that they want to target for actions such as sending a scout email. 【0054】 If a job seeker's search criteria include conditions that partially or entirely overlap with the conditions for sending a dedicated scout email (required conditions for a specific job seeker) (hereinafter referred to as "specific conditions"), and the employer instructs the search results to be filtered to show only specific job seekers, the search unit 113 may perform a new search using the original search criteria with the specific conditions removed, and display the results of that search, filtered to show only specific job seekers, as the search results on the employer terminal 20. Furthermore, if the filtering to show only specific job seekers is removed, the search unit 113 may display the search results using the original search criteria (i.e., the search criteria without the specific conditions excluded) on the employer terminal 20. 【0055】 For example, if the conditions for sending a dedicated scout email (requirements for specific job seekers) are "last login to the recruitment support service was 30 days or more ago," and the job seeker search conditions include a specific condition (a condition that partially overlaps with the requirements for specific job seekers) such as "last login date and time to the recruitment support service was within XX days," then when the system instructs to narrow down the search for specific job seekers, the search unit 113 will display only the job seekers who meet the requirements (specific job seekers) from among the job seekers searched using the remaining search conditions after removing the specific condition (last login date and time). When the filtering for specific job seekers is released, the search unit 113 restores and displays the search results obtained using the original search conditions (search conditions including the last login date and time). 【0056】 When a job seeker's search criteria include specific conditions, the search unit 113 may display an alert on the employer terminal 20 to notify it that the search criteria will be changed when it receives a refinement instruction. Figure 6 shows an example of a notification screen ND displayed on the employer terminal 20. The notification screen ND is displayed, for example, when the refinement object NO in Figure 5 is enabled (turned on). The notification screen ND includes a cancel button B21 and a display button B22. When an input operation is performed on the cancel button B21, the refinement is canceled. When an input operation is performed on the display button B22, the search criteria are changed as described above, and the refinement results are displayed. 【0057】 <Sender Selection Section 114> The sender selection unit 114 is configured to accept the selection of recipients from among the job seekers included in the search results to whom scout emails will be sent. The employer may select a single recipient or select multiple recipients simultaneously. In other words, the sender selection unit 114 may accept the selection of multiple recipients from among the job seekers included in the search results to whom scout emails will be sent in bulk. 【0058】 For example, the sender selection unit 114 accepts the selection of one or more recipients by inputting into the overall checkbox CB1 or individual checkbox CB2 on the search results display screen RD in Figure 5 on the recruiter terminal 20. 【0059】 <Scout Text Creation Section 115> The Scout Message Creation Unit 115 is configured to create the body of a scout email (scout message) to be sent to recipients selected by the Sender Selection Unit 114. The Scout Message Creation Unit 115 may create the scout message by receiving input such as text from the recruiter terminal 20, or it may input the initial information necessary for creating the scout message (for example, a job posting) into the scout message creation model of the Artificial Intelligence Unit 120 and have the scout message creation model output the scout message. The Scout Message Creation Unit 115 may prepare scout message templates or scout message creation models for each job type or industry. 【0060】 The scout message creation model is a trained model that takes initial information as input and outputs a scout message. In other words, the scout message creation model is a trained model that uses combinations of initial information (job postings) and corresponding scout message data as training data. 【0061】 The scout text creation model may be a generative AI including a large-scale language model. In this case, the scout text creation unit 115 takes initial information as input, inputs a prompt to the scout text creation model that includes an instruction to output a scout text, and causes the scout text creation unit to output a scout text. The scout text creation unit 115 may also generate a prompt that gives the scout text creation model an instruction to create a scout text from the initial information, and input this prompt to the scout text creation unit. In addition, the scout text creation unit 115 may input a prompt to the scout text creation unit 115 that includes, for example, one or more samples of initial information and one or more corresponding samples of scout text, in addition to the instructions to create and output the scout text and the initial information. The scout text creation model creates a scout text from the initial information according to the input prompts. 【0062】 When the sender selection unit 114 accepts the selection of multiple bulk senders, the scout message creation unit 115 may either create a scout message that applies to all bulk senders, or it may create separate scout messages for dedicated scout messages and for regular scout messages. In the former case (creating a common scout message for all bulk senders), the workload for the recruiter when sending scout messages in bulk is reduced. In the latter case (creating separate scout messages for dedicated and regular scout messages), the recruiter can use different scout messages depending on the attributes of the job seeker (i.e., whether or not they are a specific job seeker). 【0063】 <Selection Reception Section 116> The selection reception unit 116 is configured to accept a selection of either a dedicated scout email or a regular scout email as the scout email to be sent to an individual specific job seeker when a specific job seeker is selected as a recipient in the sender selection unit 114. This allows employers to flexibly set the type of scout email to send to a specific job seeker. 【0064】 The selection reception unit 116 may accept the selection of a scout email to send to a specific job seeker with a dedicated scout email initially selected, if a stock of dedicated scout emails exists. This reduces the effort required for employers to select a dedicated scout email when sending one to a specific job seeker. 【0065】 Figure 7 shows an example of the first scout email sending screen SD1 displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The first scout email sending screen SD1 is displayed when sending individual scout emails to job seekers selected by the sender selection unit 114. The first scout email sending screen SD1 includes a body creation area CA, a type selection area TA, and a send button B31. 【0066】 The main text creation area CA includes a template selection object TO, a subject input field TF, a body input field BF, and a job posting attachment button B32. The subject input field TF accepts the subject of the scout email. The body input field BF accepts the body of the scout email. The template selection object TO accepts the selection of templates for the subject and body. For example, the template selection object TO may be a pull-down list from which pre-prepared templates can be selected. When a template is selected in the template selection object TO, the subject and body corresponding to the selected template are automatically entered into the subject input field TF and the body input field BF. Also, when an input operation is performed on the job posting attachment button B32, a screen for selecting the job posting to attach to the scout email is displayed. 【0067】 The type selection area TA accepts the selection of the type of scout email to be sent to the recipient. In the example in Figure 7, objects (radio buttons) are provided that allow the user to choose between a regular scout email and a dedicated scout email. The type selection area TA also displays the number of stocks for each type of scout email. If the recipient is a specific job seeker, the first scout email sending screen SD1 is displayed with the dedicated scout email initially selected. However, even if the recipient is a specific job seeker, if there are no stocks of dedicated scout emails, the first scout email sending screen SD1 is displayed with the regular scout email initially selected. In this case, the selection reception unit 116 may display information (e.g., a text message) indicating that there are no stocks of dedicated scout emails within the first scout email sending screen SD1, or it may make the dedicated scout email unavailable (inactive as an option) in the type selection area TA. 【0068】 When the send button B31 is pressed, the sending unit 118, described later, will send either a dedicated scout email or a regular scout email. 【0069】 <Decision Section 117> The decision unit 117 is configured to determine which scout email to send to the recipients whose selections have been received by the selection reception unit 116. When sending scout emails individually to recipients, the scout emails received by the selection reception unit 116 are sent to the recipients. 【0070】 When sending a scout email to multiple recipients at once, the decision unit 117 determines which scout email to send to each recipient from among dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails, based on whether each recipient meets the sending conditions. The total number of dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails to be sent to each recipient may also be displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. This reduces the effort required for the recruiter to individually select the type of scout email for multiple recipients. Furthermore, by displaying the total number of dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails, the recruiter can understand the consumption of each type of scout email before sending them in bulk. 【0071】 Furthermore, the decision unit 117 may display the remaining stock numbers of dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails on the recruiter terminal 20 after sending dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails to the recipients of the bulk transmission. 【0072】 The decision unit 117 may, if a stock of dedicated scout emails exists, decide to designate a scout email to be sent to recipients who meet the sending conditions as a dedicated scout email. This allows recruiters to prioritize the use of dedicated scout emails over regular scout emails. 【0073】 Furthermore, if the number of recipients who meet the sending conditions for bulk mailing is greater than the number of stocked dedicated scout emails, the decision unit 117 may display information indicating a shortage of dedicated scout emails and may accept the cancellation of the bulk mailing or the alternative sending of regular scout emails to the recipients who meet the sending conditions. This prevents the unintended consumption of regular scout emails by the recruiter. In addition, if there is a shortage of dedicated scout emails, the recruiter can review the target recipients for bulk mailing, etc. 【0074】 The decision unit 117 may present to the recruiter terminal 20 the recipients of the bulk mailing who have previously received a scout email (either a dedicated scout email or a regular scout email). Alternatively, the decision unit 117 may present to the recruiter terminal 20 the recipients of the bulk mailing who are excluded from receiving either a dedicated scout email or a regular scout email. Excluded recipients are, for example, job seekers who have taken action within a predetermined period (for example, within 30 days), such as replying to a scout email from the same recruiter or applying for a job from the same recruiter. The decision unit 117 excludes excluded recipients from the bulk mailing recipients selected by the selection reception unit 116. Excluded recipients do not meet the conditions for receiving a dedicated scout email. 【0075】 Figure 8 shows an example of the second scout email sending screen SD2 displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The second scout email sending screen SD2 is displayed when sending scout emails to multiple job seekers (bulk recipients) selected in the sender selection unit 114. The second scout email sending screen SD2 includes a scout switching tab ST, a body creation area CA, a sending information display area SA, and a send button B41. 【0076】 The Scout Switching Tab ST is an object used to switch the type of scout email created in the Body Creation Area CA. In Figure 8, the Scout Switching Tab ST displays "For Regular Members" as the tab title for regular scout emails and "For Temporarily Unlogged-in Members" as the tab title for dedicated scout emails. Each tab title also displays the number of recipients (number of people to whom the scout email will be sent) (in parentheses in the example in Figure 8). Figure 8 also shows the state where the tab for regular scout emails ("For Regular Members") is selected, and the content entered in the Body Creation Area CA in this state will be inserted or attached to the regular scout email. Note that the Body Creation Area CA of the second scout email sending screen SD2 is the same as the Body Creation Area CA of the first scout email sending screen SD1. 【0077】 Figure 9 shows an example of the second scout email sending screen SD2 with the tab switched. Figure 9 shows the dedicated scout email ("For temporarily unlogged-in members") tab selected in the scout switching tab ST. In this state, the content entered in the body creation area CA is inserted or attached to the dedicated scout email. Also, the common checkbox CB3 is displayed in the body creation area CA for the dedicated scout email. When the common checkbox CB3 is checked, the display of each input field in the body creation area CA disappears. In addition, the body of the regular scout email is used as the body of the dedicated scout email. In other words, the scout body creation unit 115 creates the scout body that is applied to all bulk senders' scout emails based on the content entered in the body creation area CA for the regular scout email. On the other hand, if the common checkbox CB3 is not checked, the scout message creation unit 115 creates the scout message applicable to the dedicated scout message and the scout message applicable to the regular scout message separately, based on the content entered in the dedicated scout message creation area CA and the regular scout message creation area CA, respectively. 【0078】 The transmission information display area SA displays the number of recipients (targets) for both regular and dedicated scout emails, the current number of recipients in stock, and the number of recipients in stock after bulk sending. When an input operation is performed on the send button B41, the transmission unit 118 executes the sending of regular and dedicated scout emails. 【0079】 Figure 10 shows another example of the second scout email sending screen SD2 displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. In the second scout email sending screen SD2 of Figure 10, the scout switching tab ST of Figure 8 is replaced with the normal scout area NA and the dedicated scout area EA. The normal scout area NA displays the number of normal scout emails scheduled to be sent and the body creation area CA for creating the scout email body for normal scout emails. 【0080】 The dedicated scout area EA displays the number of dedicated scout emails scheduled to be sent and the customization checkbox CB4. If the customization checkbox CB4 is not checked, the dedicated scout email will use the same scout message as the regular scout email. On the other hand, if the customization checkbox CB4 is checked, the message creation area CA for the dedicated scout email will be displayed (expanded on the second scout email sending screen SD2), and the scout message creation unit 115 will accept input for the scout message for the dedicated scout email. 【0081】 Furthermore, if all senders are recipients of the dedicated scout email (specific job seekers), and the number of stocked dedicated scout emails is greater than or equal to the number of recipients, the normal scout area NA will not be displayed on the second scout email sending screen SD2 (for example, a message indicating that there are no recipients for normal scouting will be displayed instead of the normal scout area NA), and the body creation area CA for the dedicated scout email may be initially displayed in the dedicated scout area EA. 【0082】 <Transmitting section 118> The sending unit 118 sends regular recruitment emails and dedicated recruitment emails to job seekers who are designated as recipients. Specifically, the sending unit 118 sends regular recruitment emails to job seekers selected as recipients of regular recruitment emails, and reduces the stock of regular recruitment emails. In addition, the sending unit 118 sends dedicated recruitment emails to specific job seekers selected as recipients of dedicated recruitment emails, and reduces the stock of dedicated recruitment emails. 【0083】 The sending unit 118 may also send a regular recruitment email to a specific job seeker. In other words, the sending unit 118 sends a recruitment email to a specific job seeker that has been selected by the employer (i.e., the type of recruitment email that the selection receiving unit 116 has accepted). 【0084】 The sending unit 118 determines whether the recipient of the dedicated scout email is a specific job seeker (i.e., whether they meet the sending conditions) when sending a dedicated scout email. If the sending unit 118 determines that the recipient does not meet the sending conditions, it does not send the dedicated scout email to that recipient. Furthermore, when sending a dedicated scout email to multiple recipients at once, the sending unit 118 sends the dedicated scout email only to recipients who meet the sending conditions, and does not send it to recipients who do not meet the conditions. 【0085】 The sending unit 118 may display information on the recruiter terminal 20 indicating that the dedicated scout email could not be sent if the recipient no longer meets the sending conditions at the time the dedicated scout email is sent. This allows the recruiter to be notified that the dedicated scout email could not be sent due to a change in the recipient's status. 【0086】 One example of a case where a recipient no longer meets the sending conditions is when, during the period from the search unit 113 searching for job seekers to the sending unit 118 sending the scout email (for example, the time required to select recipients for the dedicated scout email, create the scout email body, etc.), the job seeker selected as a recipient for the dedicated scout email performs an action related to the sending conditions for the dedicated scout email, such as logging in. More specifically, for example, if the sending condition for the dedicated scout email (the requirement for a specific job seeker) is "last login to the recruitment support service was 30 days or more ago," a case where a recipient no longer meets the sending conditions is when, at the time of the search unit 113 searching for job seekers, the job seeker who had not logged in within the last 30 days logs into the recruitment support service during the period until the sending unit 118 sends the scout email, and as a result no longer meets the sending conditions. 【0087】 The transmission unit 118 accepts requests to send alternative regular scout emails to recipients who no longer meet the sending conditions, and may also send a regular scout email to the recipient if it accepts an alternative request. This allows employers to send scout emails to job seekers who were targeted for dedicated scout emails without having to re-search for job seekers or reconfigure the scout email text for sending regular scout emails. 【0088】 When sending a dedicated recruitment email to multiple recipients at once, the sending unit 118 may accept a selection from the recruiter terminal 20 of recipients who do not meet the sending conditions but to whom a regular recruitment email should be sent. In this case, a regular recruitment email will be sent only to the recipients selected by the recruiter terminal 20, and no recruitment email will be sent to recipients who were not selected. 【0089】 Figure 11 shows an example of the first alert screen AD1 displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The first alert screen AD1 is displayed, for example, when, in the first scout email sending screen SD1 in Figure 7, a dedicated scout email is selected in the type selection area TA and an input operation is performed on the send button B31, but the specific job seeker to whom the email is intended no longer meets the sending conditions (if the recipient takes an action related to the sending conditions of the dedicated scout email, such as logging into the recruitment support service, before an input operation is performed on the send button B31). 【0090】 When an input operation is performed on the confirmation button B51 included in the first alert screen AD1 shown in Figure 11A, the first alert screen AD1 disappears, the normal scout email is selected in the type selection area TA, and the dedicated scout email cannot be selected, and the first scout email sending screen SD1 shown in Figure 7 reappears on the recruiter terminal 20. In addition, the information of the recipients displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 is updated (for example, the display indicating that the recipient is a specific job seeker is removed). 【0091】 Furthermore, the transmission unit 118 may display the first alert screen AD1 shown in Figure 11B on the recruiter terminal 20 instead of the first alert screen AD1 shown in Figure 11A. The first alert screen AD1 shown in Figure 11B displays a message asking whether or not to send a regular scout email as an alternative to a specific job seeker who has been excluded from receiving a dedicated scout email. If an input operation is performed on the cancel-send button B52 included in the first alert screen AD1, the sending of the scout email to that job seeker is canceled. On the other hand, if an input operation is performed on the alternative-send button B53 included in the first alert screen AD1, a regular scout email is sent to that job seeker, and the stock of regular scout emails is consumed. 【0092】 Figure 12 shows an example of the second alert screen AD2 displayed on the recruiter terminal 20. The second alert screen AD2 is displayed, for example, when, after an input operation is performed on the send button B41 in the second scout email sending screen SD2 in Figure 8, it is found that even one of the target job seekers no longer meets the sending conditions. The second alert screen AD2 displays the number of job seekers who are no longer eligible to receive the dedicated scout email, and a message asking whether or not to send a regular scout email to those job seekers as an alternative. If an input operation is performed on the cancel send button B61 included in the second alert screen AD2, the sending of the scout email to that job seeker is canceled. On the other hand, if an input operation is performed on the alternative send button B62 included in the second alert screen AD2, a regular scout email is sent to that job seeker, and the stock of regular scout emails is consumed. 【0093】 <Artificial Intelligence Department 120> The artificial intelligence unit 120 is configured to receive input from each functional unit and return the instructed output. The artificial intelligence used by each functional unit of the server device 10 may be common to all units, or it may be prepared individually for each functional unit. 【0094】 The artificial intelligence unit 120 is an AI (Artificial Intelligence) equipped with learning models such as transformers including GPT (Generative Pretrained Transformer, including GPT-1, GPT-2, GPT-3 and GPT-4), BERT (Bidirectional Encoder Representations from Transformers), BART (Bidirectional and Auto-regressive Transformer), and language models such as recurrent neural networks (RNNs), and may also include generative AI. 【0095】 The language model is an example of a learning model using a machine learning algorithm. Specific machine learning algorithms include nearest neighbors, naive Bayes, decision trees, support vector machines, and deep learning using neural networks. The artificial intelligence unit 120 can apply the above algorithms as appropriate. 【0096】 The artificial intelligence unit 120 may have a trained model constructed by a learning method such as supervised learning, unsupervised learning, or self-supervised learning. In supervised learning, machine learning is performed using training data. Training data consists of pairs of input data and output data (correct answer data) for training. Furthermore, the language model may not only be one trained for a specific task, but also a general-purpose model that can be used universally for a wide range of tasks. 【0097】 The artificial intelligence unit 120 may be a general-purpose natural language processing learning model, such as a Large Language Model (LLM), which has learned from a vast amount of data. An LLM is a learning model that has been pre-trained on a large amount of data consisting of text data, etc. (for example, (i) web content on the internet, or (ii) data stored in a predetermined database), and can perform various language processing tasks by being given a task. It can perform a wide range of natural language processing tasks, such as understanding sentence patterns and context, responding to questions, and generating sentences, according to the given prompts. Such a general-purpose learning model includes language models that can handle various tasks without fine-tuning using One-shot Learning or Few-shot Learning. Furthermore, the general-purpose learning model may also be configured to handle various tasks using Zero-shot Learning. The artificial intelligence used in each functional unit of the control unit 11 may be a separate learning model, or it may be a common general-purpose learning model. 【0098】 The learning models included in the artificial intelligence unit 120 (such as the scout text creation model and other learning models used in each functional unit) can undergo additional learning through transfer learning or fine-tuning. For example, the artificial intelligence unit 120 may perform additional learning and fine-tuning each time new job seeker registration information or job posting registration occurs, using this as new training data. This improves the accuracy of the information output from the learning model. 【0099】 The learning model included in the artificial intelligence unit 120 may be a learning model (distilled model) obtained by knowledge distillation using the original learning model. In knowledge distillation, a pre-trained model, such as a large-scale language model, is used as the teacher model, and the student model is trained by adjusting its parameters so that the loss of the student model's output relative to the teacher model's output (Soft Target Loss) is small, and that student model becomes the distilled model. Alternatively, the student model may be trained so that the loss of the student model's output relative to the correct labels (Hard Target) of the teacher data (combinations of input and output data of the learning model) is small. Compared to the original learning model (teacher model), the distilled model has similar performance to the original learning model but with fewer parameters and a lower processing load. Therefore, using a distilled model can reduce the cost of the recruitment support system 1. 【0100】 For example, the scout message creation model may be a distilled model trained using combinations of input and output data from a large-scale language model as training data. Alternatively, when introducing the recruitment support system 1, a large-scale language model may be used as the scout message creation model, and once training data from the large-scale language model has been accumulated, the distilled model obtained by knowledge distillation using that training data may be used as the scout message creation model. 【0101】 3. Information Processing Methods This section describes the information processing method of the server device 10. In this information processing method, each part of the server device 10 is executed by a computer as a step. 【0102】 This information processing comprises a stock management step, a search step, a sender selection step, a scout message creation step, a selection acceptance step, a decision step, and a sending step. In the stock management step, a stock of dedicated scout emails, which can only be sent to specific job seekers who meet the sending conditions, is granted to the employer at a predetermined time. In the search step, a search for job seekers is performed based on the search conditions, and the search results are displayed after extracting specific job seekers upon receiving a request to narrow down the results to specific job seekers. In the sender selection step, the selection of multiple recipients to whom scout emails will be sent in bulk is accepted from among the job seekers included in the search results. In the scout message creation step, either a message body that applies to all recipients of the scout email is created, or a message body that applies to dedicated scout emails and a message body that applies to regular scout emails are created separately. In the selection acceptance step, the selection of either a dedicated scout email or a regular scout email as the scout email to be sent to specific job seekers is accepted. In the decision step, the system determines which scout emails to send to each recipient of the bulk mailing list, based on whether each recipient meets the sending conditions, by selecting either dedicated scout emails or regular scout emails. The total number of dedicated and regular scout emails sent to each recipient is also displayed. In the sending step, the system sends dedicated scout emails to the specific job seekers selected as recipients of dedicated scout emails, and reduces the stock of dedicated scout emails. 【0103】 Figure 13 is an activity diagram showing an example of the information processing (sending of scout emails) performed by the recruitment support system 1. The following sections will explain the information processing according to each activity in this activity diagram. 【0104】 The process of sending a scout email begins with the server device 10 granting a stock of dedicated scout emails. The server device 10 grants the dedicated scout emails to the employer's account at a predetermined time (Activity A101). The employer enters search criteria on the employer terminal 20 to search for job seekers to whom they want to send scout emails (Activity A102). The server device 10 performs a search for job seekers based on the search criteria entered on the employer terminal 20 (Activity A103). Subsequently, the server device 10 outputs the search results to the employer terminal 20 (Activity A104). As a result, the search results are displayed on the employer terminal 20 (Activity A105). 【0105】 The recruiter selects recipients for a scout email from the search results displayed on the recruiter terminal 20 (Activity A106). The server device 10 receives the selection of recipients from the recruiter terminal 20 (Activity A107). After selecting the recipients, the recruiter creates a draft of the email body on the recruiter terminal 20 (Activity A108). The recruiter also selects the type of scout email to send to the recipients (dedicated scout email or regular scout email) on the recruiter terminal 20 (Activity A109). The server device 10 receives information such as the draft email body and the type of scout email from the recruiter terminal 20 and prepares to send the scout email (Activity A110). Specifically, the server device 10 verifies whether the recipients of the dedicated scout email meet the conditions for sending the dedicated scout email. After preparing to send, the server device 10 sends the scout email selected by the recruiter to the recipients (Activity A111). 【0106】 4. Effect The function of this embodiment can be summarized as follows: It can provide a recruitment support system, etc., that can offer better services to job seekers. 【0107】 Although embodiments of the present invention have been described above, the present invention is not limited thereto and can be modified as appropriate without departing from the technical spirit of the invention. 【0108】 5. Others In the above embodiment, the server device 10 performed various storage and control functions, but instead of the server device 10, multiple external devices may be used. That is, various information and programs may be stored in a distributed manner across multiple external devices using blockchain technology or the like. In particular, the artificial intelligence unit 120 may be an external configuration of the server device 10. In that case, the external artificial intelligence unit 120 may be provided by, for example, an artificial intelligence service server, and is configured to receive input from each functional unit of the server device 10, receive requests to execute artificial intelligence services, and return the instructed output as a processing result to the server device 10. The artificial intelligence service server may be a server that provides services using a language model as a learning model, or a server that executes language processing tasks using a language model. The artificial intelligence service server may be constructed using an LLM. The artificial intelligence service server receives prompt input in the form of text, images, audio, etc., and generates and responds with answers to the prompts. 【0109】 Furthermore, the recruitment support system 1 does not necessarily have to include a selection reception unit 116. In other words, the recruitment support system 1 may be configured to always send a dedicated scout email to a specific job seeker if a stock of dedicated scout emails exists. 【0110】 The embodiments of this model are not limited to the recruitment support system 1, but may also be a recruitment support method or a program. The recruitment support method comprises each step executed by the recruitment support system 1. The program causes a computer to execute each step of the recruitment support system 1. 【0111】 The product may be provided in any of the following embodiments. 【0112】 (1) A recruitment support system comprising at least one processor, wherein the processor is configured to perform the following steps by reading a program, wherein in the stock management step, a stock of dedicated scout emails that can be sent only to specific job seekers among the registered job seekers who satisfy the sending conditions is granted to the employer at a predetermined time, wherein the sending conditions are that no job-seeking action has been taken for a predetermined period of time, or that the number of such actions during the predetermined period is less than a predetermined number, and in the sending step, the dedicated scout email is sent to the specific job seeker selected as the recipient of the dedicated scout email, and the stock of the dedicated scout email is reduced. 【0113】 (2) In the recruitment support system described in (1) above, an expiration date is set for the stock of dedicated scout emails, and in the stock management step, the stock of dedicated scout emails that have reached their expiration date is deleted, and a predetermined number of dedicated scout emails are newly added to the stock. 【0114】 (3) In the recruitment support system described in (1) or (2) above, the processor is configured to further perform the following steps: In the selection acceptance step, the system accepts the selection of either the dedicated scout email or the regular scout email as a scout email to be sent to the specific job seeker, wherein the regular scout email is a scout email that can be sent to any job seeker, including the specific job seeker and job seekers other than the specific job seeker, the stock of the regular scout email is managed separately from the stock of the dedicated scout email, and in the sending step, the selected scout email is sent to the specific job seeker. 【0115】 (4) In the recruitment support system described in (3) above, in the selection acceptance step, if there is a stock of dedicated scout emails, the system accepts the selection of a scout email to send to the specific job seeker with the dedicated scout email initially selected. 【0116】 (5) A recruitment support system described in any one of (1) to (4) above, wherein in the sending step, the system displays information indicating that the dedicated scout email cannot be sent if the recipient no longer meets the sending conditions at the time the dedicated scout email is sent. 【0117】 (6) In the recruitment support system described in (5) above, the transmission step accepts the transmission of an alternative to a regular scout email to the recipient, and when the alternative transmission is accepted, the regular scout email is sent to the recipient, wherein the regular scout email is a scout email that can be sent to any job seeker, including the specific job seeker and job seekers other than the specific job seeker, and the stock of the regular scout email is managed separately from the stock of the dedicated scout email. 【0118】 (7) A recruitment support system according to any one of (1) to (6) above, wherein the processor is configured to perform the following steps in the search step, in which the search for job seekers is performed based on the search conditions and the search results are displayed after receiving an instruction to narrow down to specific job seekers and extracting the specific job seekers. 【0119】 (8) In the recruitment support system described in any one of (1) to (7) above, the processor is configured to further perform the following steps: in the search step, it displays the search results for job seekers based on the search conditions; in the sender selection step, it accepts the selection of multiple recipients to whom scout emails will be sent in bulk from among the job seekers included in the search results; and in the decision step, it determines which scout emails to send to each of the bulk recipients from among the dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails, based on whether each of the bulk recipients satisfies the sending conditions, and displays the total number of dedicated scout emails and regular scout emails to be sent to the bulk recipients, wherein the regular scout emails are scout emails that can be sent to any job seeker, including the specific job seeker and job seekers other than the specific job seeker, and the stock of regular scout emails is managed separately from the stock of dedicated scout emails. 【0120】 (9) In the recruitment support system described in (8) above, in the decision step, if there is a stock of dedicated scout emails, the recruitment support system determines that the scout email to be sent to the bulk recipients who meet the sending conditions will be the dedicated scout email. 【0121】 (10) In the recruitment support system described in (8) or (9) above, in the decision step, if the number of recipients who meet the sending conditions is greater than the number of stocks of dedicated scout emails, the system displays information indicating a shortage of stocks of dedicated scout emails and accepts the cancellation of the bulk sending or the alternative sending of regular scout emails to the recipients who meet the sending conditions. 【0122】 (11) A recruitment support system according to any one of (8) to (10) above, wherein the processor is configured to perform the following steps in the scout message creation step, which either creates a message to be applied to all of the scout emails addressed to the bulk sender, or creates a message to be applied to the dedicated scout email and a message to be applied to the regular scout email separately. 【0123】 (12) In the recruitment support system described in any one of (1) to (11) above, the stock management step includes granting a stock of regular scout emails in response to a reply from the specified job seeker to the dedicated scout email, wherein the regular scout email is a scout email that can be sent to any job seeker, including the specified job seeker and job seekers other than the specified job seeker, and the stock of regular scout emails is managed separately from the stock of dedicated scout emails. 【0124】 (13) A recruitment support method comprising each step performed by the recruitment support system described in any one of (1) to (12) above. 【0125】 (14) A program that causes a computer to perform each step of the recruitment support system described in any one of (1) to (12) above. Of course, this is not always the case. 【0126】 Finally, while various embodiments relating to this disclosure have been described, these are presented as examples only and are not intended to limit the scope of the invention.
