Map-Based Matching Score Visualization for Recruitment
Find Innovative SolutionsGenerate Solutions
Solution Overview
Problem
Conventional matching apparatuses are ineffective in efficiently identifying the most suitable applicant or recruiter among many, as users must manually compare numerous profiles to find the best match, leading to inefficiencies for both recruiters and applicants.
Innovation Solution
A matching apparatus with an administrative server that connects applicant and seeker terminals, storing and processing information to calculate matching scores and display them on maps, allowing users to visualize and prioritize potential matches based on location, commute time, and other criteria.
Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles
Engineering Contradiction Analysis
1Productivity
If conventional matching apparatus displays only matching scores without spatial context, then users can obtain matching results, but users cannot efficiently identify the most suitable counterpart among many matches
Solution Approach 1:
The patent transforms the one-dimensional matching score display into a two-dimensional spatial map display. Matching scores are overlaid on a map showing geographic locations of seekers, allowing applicants to visually assess both matching quality and spatial proximity simultaneously. This dimensional transformation enables efficient identification of high-scoring matches within acceptable commute distances without manual comparison of numerous profiles.
2Measurement precision
If users manually compare information of large number of applicants or recruiters, then they can find the most suitable counterpart, but the process becomes time-consuming and inefficient
Solution Approach 1:
The system pre-calculates and displays matching scores for multiple seekers relative to an applicant's location before the user makes a selection. By presenting pre-processed matching information with spatial context on the map, the system eliminates the need for users to manually compare numerous profiles, significantly reducing selection time while maintaining accurate matching assessment.
Solution Approach 2:
The patent creates a visual copy of matching scores overlaid on the geographic map. Instead of requiring users to examine individual text profiles, the system generates a synthesized visual representation showing multiple matching scores at their respective locations, enabling rapid assessment of multiple candidates simultaneously through a single visual interface.
3Loss of information
If the matching apparatus provides detailed information of all potential matches, then users can make informed decisions, but the information overload makes it difficult to identify priority matches
Solution Approach 1:
The map display applies local quality by showing matching scores and information selectively at different geographic locations. High-scoring matches or those within preferred commute distances can be highlighted or emphasized on the map, while lower-priority matches display less prominent information. This allows users to quickly identify priority matches based on visual cues without information overload.
Data Source
AI summary
Through a network, an administrative server is connected with a terminal of an applicant and a terminal of a company which is a seeker. The administrative server comprises an applicant information database which stores applicant information including a registered address of the applicant, and a seeker information database which stores requirement information including a registered address of the company. The administrative server calculates a matching score of the both based on the applicant information and the requirement information, and make the terminal of the applicant display an image picture of distributed seekers 52 when it is requested by the applicant. The image picture of distributed seekers 52 includes a neighboring map showing around an address designated by the applicant. On the neighboring map, there is shown matching scores of the applicant and the companies, each matching score being indicated at the registered address of the each company.
