Solution Overview

Problem

Current employee selection and benchmarking processes are inefficient, requiring manual intervention and being unsuitable for small businesses or companies with dynamic employee structures, leading to inaccurate and resource-intensive hiring practices.

Innovation Solution

A system and method for dynamically generating customized profiles for companies, combining predefined attribute ranges with personal assessments of employees to create tailored attribute ranges, allowing for easy customization and dynamic revision of benchmarking standards without expert intervention.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Measurement precision

If manual benchmarking processes are used with employment consultants, then expertise and judgment are applied to create accurate benchmarks, but the process becomes resource-intensive and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebenchmarking accuracyVSAvoidbenchmarking efficiency
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSProductivity

Solution Approach 1:

The system enables companies to automatically generate customized benchmarks using their own employee assessment data without requiring external employment consultants. The automated benchmarking system processes employee data, identifies key attributes, and creates company-specific benchmarks autonomously, eliminating manual intervention while maintaining accuracy through data-driven algorithms.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The patent replaces the mechanical manual process of consultant-led benchmarking with an automated computational system. The system uses algorithms to analyze employee assessment data, identify patterns, and generate benchmarks automatically, substituting human manual analysis with machine-based processing that is both accurate and efficient.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

2Ease of operation

If standardized personality assessments are used, then the process is simple and quick, but the assessments cannot be customized to match specific company culture and job requirements

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveassessment simplicityVSAvoidassessment customization
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system allows each company to have its own customized benchmark profile that reflects its unique culture, values, and job requirements. Instead of using a single standardized assessment for all companies, the system generates location-specific (company-specific) benchmarks tailored to each organization's particular needs while maintaining the simplicity of automated processing.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #3Local quality

Solution Approach 2:

The benchmarking system is dynamic and adaptable, allowing companies to update their benchmark standards as their culture and requirements evolve. The system can be重新configured with new employee assessment data to create updated benchmarks, making the assessment process adaptable to changing organizational needs while remaining operationally simple.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #15Dynamics

3Measurement precision

If comprehensive manual review of candidate resumes is conducted, then thorough evaluation is achieved, but the process is time-consuming and inefficient

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvecandidate evaluation accuracyVSAvoidhiring process time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The system replaces manual resume review with automated computational analysis. The benchmarking system processes candidate assessment data against company-specific benchmarks using algorithms that quickly evaluate multiple candidates simultaneously, achieving thorough evaluation without the time consumption of manual review.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The system creates standardized benchmark profiles that can be replicated and applied to evaluate multiple candidates consistently. Once a company's benchmark is established from their employee data, it can be copied and applied to assess numerous candidates against the same criteria, ensuring evaluation accuracy while dramatically reducing the time required compared to individual manual reviews.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #26Copying

4Adaptability or versatility

If company benchmarks are frequently updated to reflect changing needs, then adaptability to market changes is improved, but the complexity of maintaining benchmarks increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvebenchmark dynamicityVSAvoidbenchmark management complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system automatically updates benchmarks by processing new employee assessment data that companies collect over time. As companies gather more assessment data from their employees, the system autonomously reanalyzes the data and updates benchmarks to reflect current company culture and requirements, maintaining adaptability without requiring manual intervention or increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The benchmarking system operates continuously, constantly processing new employee assessment data and updating benchmarks in an ongoing manner. This continuous operation ensures benchmarks remain current and adaptive to changing company needs without requiring discrete, complex update cycles, maintaining simplicity while achieving dynamic adaptability.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #20Continuity of useful action

AI summary

A system and method for dynamically generating a customized profile for a company for a selected profile type, the customized profile including a set of attribute types, each of the attribute types having a customized attribute range. The system comprises a receipt module for receiving a predefined profile having predefined attribute types corresponding to the set of attribute types. Each of the predefined attribute types has a predefined attribute range representing a range of attribute values for the selected profile type, and for receiving personal assessments of individuals related to the company. Each of the personal assessments has questions related to attributes. Each of the questions has a value assigned by the respective related individual.
