[0009] In the system of the present disclosure, information regarding past matching may be information regarding the matching rate, which is the ratio of the number of job seekers who applied or were employed to the number of positions available when an employer previously recruited job seekers.

[0010] In the system of the present disclosure, the memory unit stores information relating to the past matching history of registered job seekers linked to the job seekers' identification information, and the control unit may be configured, upon receiving an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in the specified area, to output information relating to the registration status of job seekers whose past matching history in the specified area meets specified conditions, based on the job seekers' location information and information relating to their past matching history stored in the memory unit.

[0011] In the system of the present disclosure, the specified area may include an area within a specified distance from a specified location, an area within a range that can be traveled from the specified location in a specified travel time, or a specified administrative district.

[0012] In the system of the present disclosure, the control unit may be configured to transmit a display instruction signal to the terminal to cause the terminal to display the output information.

[0013] The system of the present disclosure may further include a display unit that displays information output by the control unit.

[0014] The computer of the present disclosure is a computer that functions as a storage means, a reception means, and an output means by executing a program, wherein the storage means associates identification information and location information of registered job seekers and stores them in advance in a storage unit, the reception means receives instructions regarding confirmation of the registration status of job seekers in a specified area, and the output means outputs information regarding the registration status of job seekers in the specified area based on the location information of the job seekers stored in the storage unit.

[0015] The information processing method disclosed herein is an information processing method performed by a computer having a control unit, and includes the steps of: the control unit associating identification information and location information of registered job seekers and storing them in advance in a memory unit; the control unit receiving an instruction regarding checking the registration status of job seekers in a specified area; and the control unit outputting information regarding the registration status of job seekers in the specified area based on the location information of the job seekers stored in the memory unit.

[0016] It is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of a system according to the present embodiment. It is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display form output in the system according to the present embodiment. It is a flow chart of information processing of the system according to the present embodiment.

[0017] A system 1 according to the present embodiment will be described below with reference to the drawings. FIGS. 1 to 3 are diagrams showing the system according to the present embodiment. Of these, FIG. 1 is a schematic diagram showing the configuration of the system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 2 is a schematic diagram showing an example of a display form output in the system according to the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a flow chart of information processing in the system according to the present embodiment.

[0018] -System 1- FIG. 1 is a block diagram showing the configuration of system 1 according to the present embodiment. System 1 according to the present embodiment includes a management server (computer 10), a registrant database (first storage unit 20), a client database (second storage unit 30), and a display terminal 40. For example, computer 10 is communicatively connected to first storage unit 20, second storage unit 30, and display terminal 40, respectively. Furthermore, first storage unit 20, second storage unit 30, display terminal 40, and computer 10 may be communicatively connected to one another via a communication network such as the Internet. Each component of system 1 is described below. Here, registrants refer to job seekers, and clients refer to employers.

[0019] <Configuration of Computer 10> Computer 10 is a management server that can be used via a communication network such as the Internet. Computer 10 may be provided as a virtual dedicated server built within a physical server accessible via the Internet. Computer 10 has a storage unit 11, a control unit 12, and a communication unit 13. Control unit 12 is configured as a microcomputer including a CPU and semiconductor memory, and controls the operation of computer 10. More specifically, control unit 12 executes programs stored in storage unit 11 to function as storage means 121, reception means 122, information acquisition means 123, and output means 124, thereby enabling computer 10 to perform its functions.

[0020] The storage means 121 associates the job seeker's identification information and location information (registration information) and stores them in the first storage unit 20. The job seeker's identification information is information such as an identification ID or tag, and is information that can identify each individual job seeker. The job seeker's location information is coordinate information calculated using latitude and longitude, and is information that represents at least one of the address, residence, and current location of each individual job seeker. Here, when the current location is represented, it can be updated in real time based on, for example, GPS information from a mobile device owned by the job seeker.

[0021] The storage means 121 also stores the identification information and location information of the employer in the second storage unit 30. The identification information of the employer is information such as an identification ID or tag, and is information that can identify each individual employer. The location information of the employer is coordinate information calculated using latitude and longitude, and is information that indicates at least one of the employer's place of residence where work is performed, address, and current location. For example, it can be updated in real time based on GPS information from a mobile device owned by the employer. Note that real-time information updates are stopped when the information is retrieved.

[0022] The reception means 122 receives instructions regarding confirmation of the registration status of a job seeker in a predetermined area. The reception means 122 sends the received instructions regarding confirmation of the job seeker's registration status (registration information) to the first storage unit 20. When the first storage unit 20 receives an instruction regarding confirmation of the job seeker's registration status from the reception means 122, it triggers a transition to a state in which the job seeker's registration information is sent from the first storage unit 20 to the computer 10. Here, the predetermined area is an area set by a person (employer) considering hiring a job seeker, and includes an area within a predetermined distance from a predetermined location, an area within a predetermined travel time from a predetermined location, or an administrative district encompassing a predetermined municipality. The instruction regarding confirmation of the job seeker's registration status is an instruction sent from the employer to the system 1 to confirm the attribute information, which is the job seeker's registration information. The attribute information also includes the registrant's name, address, residence, current location, skills possessed, information about skills such as whether or not they have various certification marks given by past employers, qualifications possessed, work history such as number of shifts, work location, and absenteeism rate, the job seeker's desired conditions such as desired working hours, desired work area, and desired salary, whether or not they are willing to negotiate conditions, and information about the work experience they have had.

[0023] The receiving means 122 also receives instructions regarding confirmation of the employer's identification information and location information. The receiving means 122 sends the received instructions regarding confirmation of the employer's identification information and location information to the second storage unit 30. The second storage unit 30's receipt of the instructions regarding confirmation of the employer's identification information and location information from the receiving means 122 triggers a transition to a state in which the employer's identification information and location information are sent from the second storage unit 30 to the computer 10. The instructions regarding confirmation of the employer's identification information and location information are sent to the second storage unit 30 at the same time as instructions regarding confirmation of the registration status of job seekers in a specified area are sent.

[0024] In a state in which information is being sent from the first storage unit 20 and the second storage unit 30 by the receiving unit 122, the information acquiring unit 123 sends the job seeker's registration information from the first storage unit 20 and the employer's identification information and location information from the second storage unit 30 to the computer 10. Each piece of information sent to the computer 10 is stored in the storage unit 11 of the computer 10.

[0025] The output means 124 outputs information relating to the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area based on the registration information of job seekers stored in the storage unit 11 .

[0026] First, the output means 124 overlays the employer's desired area as an area notation on map information stored in the storage unit 11 (described below) based on the employer's identification information and location information. At this time, the center of the area notation coincides with the employer's location information. Furthermore, the output means 124 overlays the point or predetermined area defined by the job seeker's location information as an area notation on the map information based on the job seeker's location information. The area notation for the job seeker is displayed in shades of gray in relation to the area notation for the employer's desired area.

[0027] Furthermore, the output means 124 can count the number of job seekers based on the location information of job seekers within the area notation in the employer's desired area, and display the counted number, the number of job seekers who have received various certifications by external businesses that provide various services to clients, and the certification rate on map information.

[0028] Points or predetermined areas defined by the position information of job seekers displayed on the map information can be pointed to on the display terminal 40. By pointing, attribute information of job seekers at the points or predetermined areas can be displayed on the display terminal 40 based on the job seeker's identification information.

[0029] Such a configuration of the system 1 makes it possible to present a display format such as that shown in FIG.

[0030] The programs executed by the control unit 12 are not limited to those stored in the storage unit 11. The programs executed by the control unit 12 may be those transmitted from an external device to the control unit 12 via the communication unit 13, those stored in a storage medium such as a USB memory attached to the computer 10, or those stored in a computer other than the computer 10 (for example, a cloud server).

[0031] The storage unit 11 is composed of a hard disk drive (HDD), random access memory (RAM), read only memory (ROM), or solid state drive (SSD), etc. The storage unit 11 stores various programs including programs executed by the control unit 12. The storage unit 11 also stores map information that can overlay various information. The map information includes a map on which topography, buildings, etc. are displayed, as well as blank areas.

[0032] The communication unit 13 is, for example, a wired LAN (Local Area Network) module, a wireless LAN module, or the like, and includes an interface for wired or wireless communication. That is, the communication unit 13 is configured with a communication interface configured to communicate with other devices via a communication network. The communication unit 13 also transmits a display instruction signal to the display terminal 40 to display the output information on the display terminal 40. The display terminal 40 includes a display unit 41 that displays the received display instruction signal.

[0033] Next, a description will be given of the flow of information processing in the system 1. The operation of the system 1 described below is performed by the control unit 12 of the computer 10 executing a program stored in the storage unit 11.

[0034] The storage means 121 stores the job seeker's identification information and location information in association with each other in the first storage unit 20. The storage means 121 also stores the employer's identification information and location information in association with each other in the second storage unit 30.

[0035] As shown in FIG. 3, the employer sets a predetermined area and inputs an instruction signal to the system 1 regarding confirmation of the registration status of job seekers in the predetermined area (step S10).

[0036] When an instruction signal to check the registration status of job seekers in a specified area is input to the system 1, the reception means 122 receives the instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in the specified area. The received instruction to check the registration status of job seekers is sent to the first storage unit 20, and the system transitions to a state in which the job seeker's registration information is sent from the first storage unit 20 to the computer 10. The reception means 122 also receives an instruction to check the employer's identification information and location information, and sends it to the second storage unit 30. As a result, the system transitions to a state in which the employer's identification information and location information are sent from the second storage unit 30 to the computer 10 (step S20).

[0037] Next, the information acquisition means 123 sends the job seeker's registration information from the first storage unit 20 and the employer's identification information and location information from the second storage unit 30 to the computer 10 (step S30). Each piece of information sent to the computer 10 is stored in the storage unit 11 of the computer 10.

[0038] Thereafter, the output means 124 outputs information regarding the registration status of job seekers in the specified area based on the job seeker registration information stored in the storage unit 11 (step S40). The employer can learn various information about the job seeker.

[0039] According to the system 1 of the present embodiment configured as described above, the system 1 includes a memory unit 11 that stores identification information and location information of registered job seekers in association with each other, and a control unit 12 that, upon receiving an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area, outputs information about the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area based on the job seekers' location information stored in the memory unit 11. More specifically, due to recent changes in the working environment, there has been an increase in short-term, one-off part-time work, such as half-day or full-day work. However, when employers utilize systems that match job seekers with employers, they need to know the registration status of employable job seekers. Therefore, according to the above configuration, the identification information and location information of job seekers are stored in the memory unit 11, and upon receiving an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area, information about the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area can be output based on the information stored in the memory unit 11.

[0040] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to the present embodiment, as described above, the predetermined area may include an area within a predetermined distance from a predetermined location, an area within a range that can be reached from the predetermined location in a predetermined travel time, or a predetermined administrative district. In this case, the scope of the predetermined area can be clarified.

[0041] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to this embodiment, as described above, the control unit 12 may be configured to send a display instruction signal to the terminal to cause the terminal to display the output information. In this case, information regarding the registration status of job seekers in a specified area can be displayed on the employer's terminal.

[0042] Furthermore, as described above, the system 1 according to this embodiment may further include a display unit 41 that displays information output by the control unit 12. In this case, the display unit 41 of the system 1 can be made to display information regarding the registration status of job seekers in a predetermined area.

[0043] The system 1, the computer 10, the program, and the information processing method according to the present disclosure are not limited to the above-described aspects, and various modifications can be made.

[0044] In the system 1 according to the present embodiment, the first storage unit 20 and the second storage unit 30 have been described as devices separate from the computer 10. However, this is not limiting as long as the effects of the present embodiment are achieved. For example, the computer 10 may include the first storage unit 20 and / or the second storage unit 30. In this case, the control unit 12 executes a program stored in the storage unit 11 to function as the storage means 121, the reception means 122, and the output means 124. The storage means 121 associates the identification information and location information of registered job seekers and stores them in advance in the storage unit 11. The reception means 122 receives instructions regarding confirmation of the registration status of job seekers in a specified area. The output means 124 outputs information regarding the registration status of job seekers in a specified area based on the job seeker's location information stored in the storage unit 11. In such a case, the system 1 need not include the first storage unit 20 and / or the second storage unit 30, and the functions of the first storage unit 20 and / or the second storage unit 30 may be imparted to the storage unit 11 of the computer 10.

[0045] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to the present embodiment, the second storage unit 30 stores the employer's identification information and location information. However, this is not limiting. For example, the storage unit 121 may further store information about skills that the employer wants job seekers to possess (e.g., experience working at a convenience store, customer service experience, drink service experience, kitchen work experience, cashier experience) in at least one of the storage units 11, 20, and 30 of the computer 10. In this case, when the output unit 124 receives an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers with specific skills in a specified area, it can count the number of job seekers with the relevant skills based on the job seekers' location information within the area display of the employer's desired area, and display the counted number and / or a notation such as a shaded representation of the counted number on the map information. The average salary in the target area can also be displayed on the map.

[0046] At least one of the memory unit 11, the first memory unit 20, and the second memory unit 30 of the computer 10 may store information about past matching between job seekers and employers in a specified area. Here, information about past matching refers to the number of applicants (number of applicants) or the ratio of applicants, or the number of workers (number of workers) or the ratio of workers (matching rate) for all employers or all job openings or each job opening contracted by each employer in the target area, relative to applicants for all employers or all job openings posted by each employer in the target area or each job opening (the number of job openings when job seekers were recruited). In this case, when the output means 124 receives an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in the specified area, it can output and display information about past matching between job seekers and employers stored in at least one of the memory unit 11, the first memory unit 20, and the second memory unit 30 on the map information stored in the memory unit 11, based on the employer's identification information and location information.

[0047] Furthermore, at least one of the memory unit 11, the first memory unit 20, and the second memory unit 30 of the computer 10 may store information regarding past matching between job seekers in a specified area who have skills that employers want job seekers to possess and employers who are looking for job seekers with the relevant skills. In this case, when the output means 124 receives an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in a specified area, it may output information regarding past matching between job seekers in a specified area who have the specified skills and employers who are looking for job seekers with the specified skills to the map information, based on the information regarding matching between job seekers and employers stored in at least one of the memory unit 11, the first memory unit 20, and the second memory unit 30. This makes it possible to output information regarding matching between job seekers in a specified area who have the specified skills and employers.

[0048] At least one of the memory unit 11, the first memory unit 20, and the second memory unit 30 of the computer 10 may store information related to the past matching history of registered job seekers, linked to the job seeker's identification information. Here, the information related to the past matching history refers to information on whether or not a contract has been concluded with the relevant job offer, the number of contracts with the relevant job offer, the number of non-contracts with the relevant job offer, and the contract rate for all employers included in the target area, all job offers posted by each employer, or each applicant for each job offer. In this case, when the output means 124 receives an instruction to check the registration status of job seekers in a specified area, it may output information on the registration status of job seekers whose past matching history in the specified area meets specified conditions on the map information, based on the job seeker's location information and information related to the past matching history. Here, the specified conditions are conditions that can be set as appropriate by the employer, and refer to, for example, at least one minimum value (threshold value) of information on the past matching history of registered job seekers, including information on whether or not a contract has been concluded with the relevant job offer, the number of contracts with the relevant job offer, the number of non-contracts with the relevant job offer, and the contract rate.

[0049] In addition, the output means 124 can count the number of job seekers based on the location information of job seekers within the area notation in the employer's desired area, and display the counted number, the number of job seekers who have been variously certified by external businesses, and the certification rate on map information.

[0050] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to the present embodiment, the employer's desired area is overlaid and displayed as an area notation, with the center of the area notation coinciding with the employer's location information. However, the present embodiment is not limited to this, as long as the effects of the present embodiment are achieved. For example, within the range of the area notation, the employer's location information does not have to be at the center of the area notation, and may be outside the range of the area notation. In such a case, it becomes possible to search for job seekers more flexibly by taking into account the employer's location information, topography, season, etc.

[0051] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to this embodiment, the area notation desired by the employer, which is displayed on the map information by the output means 124, can be changed in real time according to the employer's wishes.

[0052] Furthermore, in the system 1 according to this embodiment, the output unit 124 counts job seekers and displays the counted values ​​on map information. However, this is not limiting. For example, when outputting information about the job seeker registration status in a specified area, the output unit 124 may assign priorities to the job seeker's registration information. In this case, the output unit 124 assigns weighting coefficients to each type of information included in the job seeker's attribute information in order to differentiate the attributes prioritized by the employer according to the employer's wishes and perform matching based on the degree of relevance between the employer's business and the job seeker's attribute information. The output unit 124 then counts the number of job seekers whose total or maximum value of the weighting coefficients is equal to or exceeds a predetermined threshold. The output unit 124 then displays the counted values ​​on map information.
