[0043] The storage unit 11, which constitutes the recruitment support device 1, stores various types of information. These types of information include, for example, the person in charge information, schedule information, candidate information, additional information, recruitment task sets, various prompts, and support management information, as described later. The various prompts include, for example, a document creation prompt, an analysis prompt, and an interview candidate time slot acquisition prompt.

[0044] A recruitment task set is information that identifies two or more tasks in the recruitment process. A recruitment task set typically has two or more task identifiers. Each of the two or more task identifiers in a recruitment task set has a sequence. A recruitment task set may also have branched stage identifiers depending on the selection results, etc. A task identifier is information that identifies a task. A task is the work that a person in charge performs. A task can also be said to be a stage in the recruitment process. In other words, a task can also be called a stage, phase, step, etc. Task identifiers are, for example, the task name and the task ID. Figure 4 shows an example of a recruitment task set. In Figure 4, the arrows indicate the flow of tasks. The numbers corresponding to the arrows are the period (number of days) between the completion of the previous task and the start of the next task. The set of recruitment tasks in Figure 4 has two or more task identifiers, for example, "document screening," "notification of rejection (document screening)," "notification of passing document screening," "presentation of interview candidate dates," "confirmation of interview candidate dates," "handover to interviewer," "confirmation of evaluation," "interview," "interview selection," "notification of rejection (interview selection)," and "notification of hiring decision."

[0045] A document creation prompt is a prompt that instructs the candidate to create a handover document to be given to the interviewer. For example, a document creation prompt might look like this: "Refer to the candidate information below and create a handover document to be given to the interviewer! [Candidate Information]<Candidate Information>". In a prompt, strings enclosed in "<" and ">" are variables.

[0046] An analysis prompt is a prompt that instructs you to perform an analysis of a candidate. For example, an analysis prompt might instruct you to perform an analysis of a candidate using candidate information. For example, an analysis prompt might be a prompt for document analysis using a resume. An analysis prompt might be, for example, "Please perform an analysis of the candidate by referring to the following candidate information and your company's information. [Candidate Information]<Candidate Information> [Company Information]<Company Information>"

[0047] The interview candidate time slot acquisition prompt is a prompt for acquiring interview candidate time slots. For example, the interview candidate time slot acquisition prompt might look like this: "Acquire candidate time slots where the following two or more interviewers can conduct interviews! Refer to the following schedules for each interviewer! [Schedule]<Schedule>"

[0048] Support management information refers to information that identifies the support information provided to the user for each task. Each task identifier (one or more) in the support management information has a task identifier and one or more support information identifiers. A support information identifier is information that identifies the type of support information. Examples of support information identifiers include "resume," "work history," "document analysis results," "document screening results," "schedule information," "handover document draft," and "interview analysis results."

[0049] The Personnel Management Unit 111 stores information on one or more personnel. Personnel information refers to information about a person in charge. Personnel information usually has one or more personnel attribute values. Personnel information is associated with, for example, a personnel identifier. Personnel attribute values ​​include, for example, gender, age, job title, year of joining the company, length of employment, performance evaluation, and contact information (e.g., email address, phone number). A personnel identifier is information that identifies a person in charge. A personnel identifier is the person's ID or name.

[0050] The schedule management unit 112 stores one or more schedule entries for each of the one or more responsible persons. The schedule information in the schedule management unit 112 is usually associated with a responsible person identifier. Schedule information is information that identifies the schedule of a responsible person. For example, the schedule information includes time-of-day information indicating the time of the appointment, and content information indicating the content of the appointment (e.g., "meeting," "interview"). The schedule management unit 112 may reside on an external server (not shown in the diagram) (for example, the Google Calendar server).

[0051] The candidate management unit 113 stores information on one or more candidates. Candidate information refers to information about candidates who are eligible for employment. Candidate information is associated with, for example, a candidate identifier. A candidate identifier is information that identifies a candidate. A candidate identifier may be, for example, the candidate's ID, name, email address, or telephone number. Candidate information may have, for example, one or more candidate attribute values. Candidate information may include, for example, status information and a resume. Candidate information may be associated with, for example, a responsibilities identifier. Status information refers to information with dates for two or more tasks performed until a hiring decision is made, including document screening and interviews. The dates are the actual dates or planned dates. Status information may have two or more pairs of task identifiers and dates. Candidate attribute values ​​may include, for example, the candidate's age, gender, and information listed in the resume.

[0052] The additional information management unit 114 stores one or more pieces of additional information. These additional pieces of information may include, for example, company information, competitor information, past interview information and selection results from recruitment activities, interview evaluation criteria, information about the recruitment process, and interviewer information.

[0053] Company information refers to information about the company (our company) conducting recruitment activities. This includes, for example, one or more pieces of information such as the company's website, capital, sales, business activities, and number of employees. Company information can also include meeting minutes or transcripts of internal meetings.

[0054] Competitive information refers to information about your company's competitors. This includes, for example, one or more pieces of information such as a competitor's website, capital, sales, business operations, and number of employees.

[0055] Past interview information and selection results in recruitment activities include, for example, video and audio recordings of interviews with third parties who were candidates, as well as candidate information and resumes.

[0056] The criteria for interview evaluation include, for example, information explaining each of the two or more evaluation aspects, and quantitative evaluation criteria.

[0057] Information regarding the recruitment process includes, for example, a set of recruitment tasks and natural language sentences describing the recruitment process.

[0058] Interviewer information refers to information about the interviewer. An interviewer is, for example, the person in charge. Interviewer information can be the same as the person in charge information.

[0059] The receiving unit 12 receives various instructions and information. These instructions and information include, for example, output instructions, personnel information, schedule information, candidate information, and additional information, which will be described later.

[0060] The receiving unit 12 receives, for example, one or more types of information from the candidate management server 3, including personnel information, schedule information, candidate information, and additional information.

[0061] The instruction receiving unit 121 receives various instructions. These instructions include, for example, output instructions and current change instructions. The instruction receiving unit 121 receives instructions from, for example, the terminal device 2. The instruction receiving unit 121 receives instructions from, for example, one or more candidate management servers 3.

[0062] An output instruction is an instruction to output information related to the person in charge. Alternatively, an output instruction can be described as an instruction to output screen information to support recruitment activities. Information related to the person in charge includes, for example, task group information and support information. An output instruction is an instruction entered into the person in charge's terminal device 2 and is associated with the person in charge identifier. An output instruction could also be, for example, an instruction to log in to the recruitment support device 1.

[0063] A current change instruction is an instruction to change the current (focused) task. A current change instruction is, for example, an instruction entered into terminal device 2 while task group information is being output, and is an instruction that corresponds to the assigned identifier.

[0064] The processing unit 13 performs various processes. These processes include, for example, those performed by the candidate information acquisition unit 131, the task acquisition unit 132, the task group configuration unit 133, or the support information acquisition unit 134.

[0065] The candidate information acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more candidate information items from the candidate management unit 113 that correspond to the assigned identifier corresponding to the output instruction. The candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131 may be all of the information contained in the candidate information of the candidate management unit 113, or it may be only some of the information. Here, the candidate management unit 113 may be the candidate management unit 113 within the device itself, or it may be the candidate management unit 113 of the candidate management server 3, which is an external device.

[0066] The candidate information acquisition unit 131 acquires one or more candidate information when, for example, the instruction receiving unit 121 receives an output instruction.

[0067] The task acquisition unit 132 acquires task information using the status information contained in each of the one or more candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131. Task information is information that identifies the task of the person in charge and is associated with a date. Task information usually has a task identifier. Task information may, for example, have a candidate identifier. Task information may, for example, have a date.

[0068] The task acquisition means 1321 acquires task information corresponding to each task identifier in the status information of the candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131. The task acquisition means 1321 acquires task information using the status information of the candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131. For example, the task acquisition means 1321 constitutes task information having a candidate identifier corresponding to the candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131, a date in the status information of the candidate information which is the closest future date to today's date (it may be today), and a task identifier corresponding to that future date.

[0069] The task generation means 1322 obtains a task identifier that does not exist among the task identifiers in the candidate information obtained by the candidate information acquisition unit 131, and obtains task information corresponding to the task identifier.

[0070] The task generation means 1322, for example, obtains a task identifier that is not present in the candidate information obtained by the candidate information acquisition unit 131, but is included in the set of adopted tasks, and obtains task information associated with that task identifier.

[0071] The task generation means 1322 obtains, for example, a task identifier from the candidate information acquired by the candidate information acquisition unit 131, which is associated with the latest date among the dates on which the task was performed. Next, the task generation means 1322 obtains, for example, a task identifier from the adopted task set that is not present in the candidate information, is included in the adopted task set, and is the next task identifier to the task identifier associated with the latest date. The next task identifier to the task identifier associated with the latest date is the task identifier of the task that is temporally next to the task identified by the task identifier associated with the latest date.

[0072] The task group configuration unit 133 configures task group information using one or more task information acquired by the task acquisition unit 132.

[0073] The task group configuration unit 133 configures, for example, task objects corresponding to each of the one or more task information acquired by the task acquisition unit 132. Next, the task group configuration unit 133 arranges, for example, these one or more task objects in order of the date associated with the task information. The one or more task objects arranged in this order of date constitute the task group information. The date is the date of implementation or the scheduled date of implementation. A task object is a display object that identifies a task. A task object may be, for example, a button, a menu item, or a displayed graphic.

[0074] The task group configuration unit 133 constitutes task group information by arranging the task objects corresponding to one or more task information acquired by the task acquisition means 1321 and the task objects corresponding to one or more task information acquired by the task generation means 1322 in chronological order.

[0075] The support information acquisition unit 134 acquires support information that assists in the performance of the task identified by the current task object, using candidate information corresponding to that task. Support information includes, for example, the handover document described later, the analysis results described later, and the candidate time slots for interviews described later.

[0076] The support information acquisition unit 134, for example, provides candidate information corresponding to the task to the generating AI and acquires support information from the generating AI. The candidate information here may be only a part of the candidate information. Part of the candidate information may be, for example, a resume.

[0077] The support information acquisition unit 134 acquires, for example, one or more pieces of additional information from the additional information management unit 114, provides this additional information to the generating AI, and acquires support information from the generating AI. The one or more pieces of additional information may be, for example, one or more pieces of information from among company information, competitor information (information on the company's competitors), interview information and selection results in recruitment activities, criteria for interview evaluation, information on the recruitment process, and interviewer information.

[0078] The current task object is the task object of interest among the task objects contained in the task group information configured by the task group configuration unit 133. The current task object is, for example, a task object specified by the user. The current task object is, for example, a task object that satisfies the current condition.

[0079] A current condition is a condition used to identify the current task. A current condition is, for example, a condition based on today's date. A current condition is, for example, task information associated with the day closest to today's date (including today's date), and the current task identifier is a task identifier that identifies the task information of a task that has not been performed. A current condition is, for example, task information associated with the day closest to today's date (including today's date), and the current task identifier is a task identifier that identifies the task information of a task that has been performed.

[0080] The draft acquisition means 1341 provides the generating AI with all or part of the candidate information of the candidate of interest (e.g., resume) and a draft creation prompt, and obtains a draft of the handover message to the interviewer from the generating AI. The draft acquisition means 1341 obtains a draft of the handover message to the interviewer, for example, when the current task object is "Handover to Interviewer".

[0081] The document acquisition means 1341 preferably provides the generating AI with one or more pieces of additional information and obtains a handover document from the generating AI. The one or more pieces of additional information may be, for example, one or more pieces of information from among company information, competitor information, interview information and selection results in recruitment activities, information on the recruitment process, and interviewer information.

[0082] The analysis result acquisition means 1342 provides the generating AI with the resume containing the candidate information of the candidate of interest and an analysis prompt, and acquires the analysis result from the generating AI. The analysis result here is the document analysis result. The analysis result acquisition means 1342 acquires the analysis result, for example, when the current task object is "evaluation confirmation".

Note that the current change instruction sent to the candidate management server 3 is transmitted to the recruitment support device 1 via the candidate management server 3.

[0219] In the flowchart of Figure 15, terminal device 2 will perform actions in accordance with other instructions or information it receives.

[0220] Furthermore, as shown in the flowchart in Figure 15, processing is terminated by power off or processing termination interrupts.

[0221] The following describes a specific example of the operation of information system A in this embodiment.

[0222] The storage unit 11 of the recruitment support device 1 stores the recruitment task management table shown in Figure 16. The recruitment task management table is a table that manages a collection of recruitment tasks, etc. The recruitment task management table stores one or more records having "ID", "Task Name", "Condition", "Previous Task ID", "Number of Days", and "Support Information Identifier". "ID" is information that identifies the record. "Task Name" is the name of the task. "Condition" is the condition for transitioning to the task in question. Here, condition "1" means "pass", and "0" means "fail". "Previous Task ID" is the ID of the task before transitioning to this task. "Number of Days" indicates the number of days between the previous task and this task (for example, the maximum deadline). "Support Information Identifier" is information that identifies the information given to the person in charge in the case of this task.

[0223] The Personnel Management Unit 111 stores the Personnel Management Table shown in Figure 17. The Personnel Management Table is a table for managing personnel information. The Personnel Management Table is a table that manages one or more records that have an "ID," "Personnel Identifier," and "Personnel Attribute Value." The "Personnel Attribute Value" here includes "Gender," "Age," "Position," "Employment Period," and "Contact Information." The "Personnel Identifier" here is the personnel's ID, but it could also be the personnel's name, etc. The "Employment Period" is the period since joining the organization (usually a company). The "Contact Information" is, for example, an email address, but it could also be a phone number, SNS ID, etc. The Personnel Management Unit 111 here is, for example, the Personnel Management Unit 111 of the Candidate Management Server 3, but it could also be the Personnel Management Unit 111 of the Recruitment Support Device 1.

[0224] The schedule management unit 112 manages the schedule information of each person in charge. The schedule information is associated with a person in charge identifier. The schedule management unit 112 here is, for example, the schedule management unit 112 of the candidate management server 3, but it may also be the schedule management unit 112 of the recruitment support device 1.

[0225] The Candidate Management Unit 113 stores the Candidate Management Table shown in Figure 18. The Candidate Management Table is a table that manages information on one or more candidates. The Candidate Management Table is a table that manages one or more records having "ID", "Name", "Status Information", "Contact Information", "Resume", and "Responsible Person Identifier". "Status Information" is where the date of each task (each phase) in the recruitment activity is entered. The date is the date of implementation or the scheduled date. "Contact Information" is an email address here, but a telephone number or the like is also acceptable. "Resume" is a resume and work history, and here it is, for example, a single PDF file. Note that the "Resume" may consist of two or more files. The data structure and data type of the resume are not specified. "Responsible Person Identifier" is the ID of the person in charge of recruiting the candidate. One or more responsible person identifiers are entered for "Responsible Person Identifier". The Candidate Management Unit 113 here is, for example, the Candidate Management Unit 113 of the Candidate Management Server 3, but it may also be the Candidate Management Unit 113 of the Recruitment Support Device 1.

[0226] The storage unit 11 of the recruitment support device 1 stores, for example, the draft creation prompt shown in Figure 19, the analysis prompt shown in Figure 20, and the interview candidate time slot acquisition prompt shown in Figure 21.

[0227] In light of the above situation, three specific examples with different current task identifiers will be described below. Note that today's date is "2025 / 12 / 7".

[0228] (Specific example 1) Assume that employee X, identified by employee identifier "T01", has entered an output instruction into terminal device 2. Next, terminal reception unit 22 receives the output instruction. Next, terminal processing unit 23 obtains employee identifier "T01" from terminal storage unit 21. Terminal transmission unit 24 sends the output instruction corresponding to employee identifier "T01" to the candidate management server 3 of the company to which employee X belongs, or to the candidate management server 3 contracted by employee X's company.

[0229] The candidate management server 3 receives an output instruction from the terminal device 2 that corresponds to the person in charge identifier "T01". Next, the candidate management server 3 transmits the output instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01" to the recruitment support device 1.

[0230] Next, the instruction receiving unit 121 of the recruitment support device 1 receives an output instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01".

[0231] Next, the task acquisition unit 132 acquires the person in charge identifier "T01" that corresponds to the received output instruction.

[0232] Next, the task acquisition unit 132 performs the task external acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 7, and acquires task information corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01" from the candidate management table (Figure 18) of the candidate management server 3. For example, the task acquisition unit 132 acquires records such as "ID=21,22,23, etc." that include the person in charge identifier "T01," and acquires a large amount of task information from the status information of each record.

[0233] Next, the task group configuration unit 133 performs the task group configuration process described using the flowchart in Figure 9, and selects 10 task information items using today's date "2025 / 12 / 7", and constructs a task object based on each of the 10 task information items. The task information items include the task name, date, and candidate's name. In other words, the task object has the task name, date, and candidate's name within a rectangular frame.

[0234] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 obtains today's date, "2025 / 12 / 7," from a clock (not shown). Then, based on predetermined current conditions, the support information acquisition unit 134 obtains the current task identifier, "Handover to Interviewer," which identifies the current task from the task group information. The current conditions here are either "(1) the task identifier corresponding to the date closest to today's date is used as the current task identifier" or "(2) the task identifier of an uncompleted task that corresponds to the date closest to a past date is used as the current task identifier."

[0235] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 acquires candidate information associated with the current task identifier (candidate information for "ID=23" in Figure 18). Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 performs the support information acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 10, and uses this candidate information to acquire the support information identifiers "resume (CV, work history), handover document draft, document analysis results," which are information about candidate "Taro Tanaka" and are paired with the task identifier "handover to interviewer." The resume is "F3.pdf." The handover document draft is the document acquired by the document acquisition means 1341 performing the document acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 12. The document analysis results are the information acquired by the analysis result acquisition means 1342 performing the analysis result acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 13.

[0236] Next, the processing unit 13 configures screen information that includes the acquired task group information and the acquired support information. Then, the information transmission unit 141 transmits the screen information to the candidate management server 3.

[0237] Next, the candidate management server 3 receives the screen information from the recruitment support device 1. The candidate management server 3 then transmits the screen information to the terminal device 2 of the person in charge X.

[0238] Next, the terminal device 2 of person in charge X receives the screen information, configures the screen, and outputs the screen. An example of such a screen is shown in Figure 22. In Figure 22, 10 task objects are displayed on the left side of the screen. 2201 in Figure 22 is the task object of the current task. Also, 2202 in Figure 22 is the handover document draft. Furthermore, 2203 is the document analysis result. In addition, 2204 is a selection menu item for displaying a resume or work history.

[0239] (Specific example 2) Let's assume that the screen of terminal device 2 of employee X, identified by employee identifier "T01", displays only the task object 10 in Figure 23. Let's also assume that employee X has selected the task object "Document Screening" 2301 in Figure 23. Next, the terminal reception unit 22 of terminal device 2 receives the current change instruction to the task object "Document Screening" 2301. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 retrieves the employee identifier "T01" from the terminal storage unit 21. The terminal transmission unit 24 sends the current change instruction corresponding to the employee identifier "T01" to the candidate management server 3.

[0240] The candidate management server 3 receives a current change instruction from the terminal device 2 that corresponds to the person in charge identifier "T01". Next, the candidate management server 3 transmits the current change instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01" to the recruitment support device 1.

[0241] Next, the instruction receiving unit 121 of the recruitment support device 1 receives a current change instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01".

[0242] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 acquires the current task identifier "Confirmation of interview candidate date" included in the current change instruction. The support information acquisition unit 134 also acquires today's date "2025 / 12 / 7" from a clock (not shown).

[0243] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 acquires candidate information for "Taro Sato" associated with the current task identifier from the candidate management server 3.

[0244] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 performs the support information acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 10, and acquires support information using the candidate information. Here, the support information acquisition unit 134 refers to Figure 16 and, according to the support information identifier "resume, document analysis results" which is paired with the task identifier "document screening", acquires the resume of candidate "Taro Sato" from the candidate management table (Figure 18) of the candidate management server 3. In addition, the analysis result acquisition means 1342 performs the analysis result acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 13, and acquires the document analysis results for candidate "Taro Sato".

[0245] Next, the processing unit 13 configures screen information that includes the acquired task group information and one or more pieces of support information (document analysis results, resume). Then, the information transmission unit 141 transmits this screen information to the candidate management server 3 that sent the instructions.

[0246] Next, the candidate management server 3 receives the screen information and transmits it to the terminal device 2 of the person in charge X.

[0247] Next, terminal device 2 of person in charge X receives the screen information, configures the screen, and outputs the screen. An example of such a screen is shown in Figure 23. In Figure 23, 2302 is the analysis result. Also, 2303 is the work history document that makes up the resume. Furthermore, if the "Resume" button 2304 is selected, the resume of candidate "Taro Sato" is output.

[0248] (Specific example 3) Let's assume that the screen of terminal device 2, associated with the person in charge identifier "T01," displays only the task object 10 in Figure 24. Let's also assume that person in charge X has instructed the task object "Present interview candidate dates" 2401 in Figure 24. Next, the terminal reception unit 22 of terminal device 2 receives the instruction to change the current task to the task object "Present interview candidate dates" 2401. Next, the terminal processing unit 23 retrieves the person in charge identifier "T01" from the terminal storage unit 21. The terminal transmission unit 24 sends the current change instruction associated with the person in charge identifier "T01" to the candidate management server 3.

[0249] The candidate management server 3 receives a current change instruction from the terminal device 2 that corresponds to the person in charge identifier "T01". Next, the candidate management server 3 transmits the current change instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01" to the recruitment support device 1.

[0250] Next, the instruction receiving unit 121 of the recruitment support device 1 receives a current change instruction corresponding to the person in charge identifier "T01".

[0251] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 acquires the current task identifier "Confirmation of interview candidate date" included in the current change instruction. The support information acquisition unit 134 also acquires today's date "2025 / 12 / 7" from a clock (not shown).

[0252] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 acquires candidate information for candidate "Taro Tanaka" associated with the current task identifier from the candidate management server 3.

[0253] Next, the support information acquisition unit 134 performs the support information acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 10, and acquires support information using the candidate information. Here, the support information acquisition unit 134 refers to Figure 16 and, according to the support information identifier "Candidate Date, Schedule Information" which is paired with the task identifier "Confirmation of Interview Candidate Dates", acquires schedule information from the schedule management unit 112 that is paired with the person in charge identifier "T01, T02" which is paired with the candidate name "Taro Tanaka".

[0254] Furthermore, the candidate time slot acquisition means 1343 performs the candidate time slot acquisition process described using the flowchart in Figure 11 and acquires three candidate time slots.

[0255] Next, the processing unit 13 configures screen information that includes the acquired task group information and support information (schedule information for the two assigned personnel and three candidate time slots). Then, the information transmission unit 141 transmits this screen information to the candidate management server 3 that sent the instructions.

[0256] Next, the candidate management server 3 receives the screen information and transmits it to the terminal device 2 of the person in charge X.

[0257] Next, the terminal device 2 of person in charge X receives the screen information, configures the screen, and outputs the screen. An example of such a screen is shown in Figure 24. In Figure 24, 2402 is the candidate schedule. 2403 is the schedule information of the two people in charge.

[0258] In summary, this embodiment provides a user-friendly recruitment system for the person in charge.

[0259] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to provide functions that make the recruitment support system provided by the external candidate management server 3 easier for the person in charge to use.

[0260] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, new tasks can be added to the recruitment support system provided by the external candidate management server 3, thereby enabling the addition of new functions.

[0261] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, information to be passed on to the interviewer can be automatically generated.

[0262] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, the analysis results of the candidate can be presented to the interviewer.

[0263] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, it is possible to easily coordinate the interview times of multiple interviewers.

[0264] Furthermore, according to this embodiment, a recruitment system that is easier for the person in charge to use can be provided.
