FIG.

Overview A job information providing system according to an embodiment of the present invention will now be described with reference to the drawings.
The job information providing system of this embodiment acts as an intermediary between job seekers, employers, and advertisers who post information on media through which job seekers can access job information, efficiently matching employers and job seekers.

First, an overview of a job information providing system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. 1 to FIG.
As shown in FIG. 1, the job information providing system is assumed to be used by three parties: job seekers, employers, and job posters.
Job seekers are those who seek a wide range of employment opportunities, including part-time and temporary work, as well as trial work and full-time work.
An employer is a party that hires and employs job seekers and is the provider of job information.
A publisher is a person who publishes information media M, which enables job seekers to access job information, in a store or the like that he or she operates.

Note that the recruiter and the poster may be different or they may be the same. In other words, if an recruiter asks a poster to post job information for a store etc. that the recruiter operates in a store etc. that the poster operates, the recruiter and the poster are different. On the other hand, if a poster who is the operator of a store etc. posts job information for the store etc. that the poster operates in the store etc. that the poster operates, the poster will also be the recruiter.

Job seekers, employers, and advertisers use a job seeker terminal 2, an employer terminal 3, and an advertiser terminal 4, respectively, to exchange data with the job information providing device 1. The configuration of each terminal will be described later, and may be realized, for example, by a smart device or a personal computer capable of data communication.

The information providing medium M is a medium that is generated for each job posting provided by an employer and provides the URL of a web page (hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "application page") through which job seekers can apply for a particular job posting.
This information providing medium M is, for example, a seal or sticker as shown in FIG. 2, and a two-dimensional bar code is printed on the surface together with information about the job offer.
The two-dimensional code is an encoded version of the URL of the application page, and the job seeker reads and decodes the two-dimensional code using the job seeker terminal 2 to obtain the URL of the application page and access the application page.

In addition, information such as the URL of the application page stored on the information providing medium M may be provided to job seekers not only via a two-dimensional code, but also via NFC communication, and the information providing medium M holds either a two-dimensional code or an NFC communication module, or both.
Furthermore, the URL stored in the information providing medium M may not be the URL of the application page itself, but may be the URL of a web page that redirects to the application page.

Such information media M are posted so as to catch the eye of job seekers visiting the store or the like, for example by affixing them to the walls of the store or the like operated by the advertiser or to panels installed in the store or the like.
The information providing medium M may be provided as a card or the like that the job seeker can take home as needed, rather than being affixed to a wall or panel.

Next, an overview of the flow of processes executed in the job information providing system according to this embodiment will be described with reference to FIG.
First, an employer registers job information in the job information providing device 1 and requests a publisher to post the job information on an information providing medium M that provides a URL for an application page for the job information (S101). In requesting the publisher to post the information providing medium M, the employer requests a desired employer to post the job information in consideration of the location of the store or the like where the publisher posts the information providing medium M.
In response, the adopter places the information media M in the store or the like (S102).

When a job seeker visits a store or the like of a poster, he/she looks at the contents of the job information printed on the information providing medium M, and if he/she finds something that interests him/her, he/she accesses an application page via the information providing medium M and applies for the job (S103).
The posting locations of the information media M are stored in a job information storage unit 1C (see FIG. 4) described below, and a job seeker may search for the posting locations of the information media M on a map based on the information in the job information storage unit 1C, and obtain the search results for the posting locations of the information media M, as shown in FIG. 1.

When the job information providing device 1 accepts an application from a job seeker, it refers to the work record of the job seeker stored in a specified database (S104).
If it is found as a result of the reference that the job seeker has applied for a job at a store or the like where the job seeker has worked before, the decision is made to employ the job seeker (S105).
On the other hand, if the job seeker is applying for a job at a store or the like where he or she has no work experience, the job seeker is asked to prepare a resume (S106) and take the resume to an interview with the employer (S107).

The employer decides whether to hire the job seeker based on the results of the interview (S108), and if the job seeker is hired, a contract such as an employment contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer (S109). The contract concluded here may be an appropriate one, such as a service contract, depending on the content of the job offer.
The work record of the job seeker after he/she is hired is accumulated in a predetermined database at an appropriate timing (S110).

Functional Blocks Next, the functions of the job information providing system according to this embodiment will be described in detail.
As shown in FIG. 1, the job information providing system is made up of a job information providing device 1, a job seeker terminal 2, an employer terminal 3, and a job advertiser terminal 4, all of which are capable of communicating with each other via a network NW such as the Internet.
However, the adopter terminal 3 and the advertiser terminal 4 may be separate terminals or the same terminal, depending on whether the adopter and the advertiser are the same or not.

The job information providing device 1 is a device that mediates the exchange of information between job seekers, employers, and advertisers.
This job information providing device 1 is realized, for example, by a server equipped with an arithmetic device such as a CPU (Central Processing Unit), a computer program executed by the CPU, and internal memories such as RAM (Random Access Memory) and ROM (Read Only Memory), etc. As a result, the job information providing device 1 is configured as functional blocks consisting of a generation processing unit 11, a validation processing unit 12, a discrimination processing unit 13, a resume creation processing unit 14, a print processing unit 15, a contract processing unit 16, a payment processing unit 17, a communication processing unit 18, an employer information storage unit 1A, a poster information storage unit 1B, a job information storage unit 1C, an application information storage unit 1D, and a performance information storage unit 1E, as shown in Figure 3.

The generation processing unit 11 can generate a predetermined web page and the URL of the web page, as well as generate a two-dimensional code that encodes the URL.
Specifically, the generation processing unit 11 generates a first web page for each job posting provided by an employer, which is a web page for job seekers to apply for a specific job posting, i.e., the application page described above, and the URL of the application page.
In addition, the generation processing unit 11 generates, as a second web page, a web page for an employer to register whether or not to employ a job seeker (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as the "employment status registration page"), and a URL for accessing the employment status registration page.

The validation processing unit 12 validates the acceptance of application information via the application page.
The application page is not yet enabled at the time it is generated by the generation processing unit 11, and application information cannot be accepted.
Activation is performed, for example, by receiving a predetermined activation code from a person having the authority to activate, as activation information that activates the reception of application information via the application page. In this embodiment, the publisher who receives a request from the adopter to post on the information providing medium M has the authority to activate the application page. When the publisher receives a request from the adopter to post on the predetermined information providing medium M and accepts the request, the publisher activates the application page linked to the predetermined information providing medium M using the activation code that the publisher possesses. Here, the activation code is also unique identification information for each publisher or authentication information that can authenticate the publisher, and when the application page is activated, it is possible to know which publisher activated it, i.e., which publisher posted the predetermined information providing medium M.

In addition, when the application page is not activated, access from the job seeker terminal 2, etc. may not be accepted, or access may be accepted but application information may not be accepted.
In addition, on the condition that the information providing medium M is validated, the generation processing unit 11 may generate an application page and a URL for the application page.

When a job seeker applies for a specific job offer, the discrimination processing unit 13 refers to the performance information storage unit 1E to determine whether the job seeker has applied to a company where the job seeker has work performance, i.e., work experience.
As a result, if the job seeker applies to a company where the employer has a track record of employment, the employer will be familiar with the job seeker and will therefore decide to hire the job seeker immediately without an interview.

The resume creation processing unit 14 creates data for a resume that a job seeker brings to an interview with an employer.
The resume is prepared by appropriately referring to the career information received from the job seeker and the job seeker's information stored in the performance information storage unit 1E, and inputting the necessary information into a prescribed format.
The resume creation processing unit 14 also provides a two-dimensional code, which is an encoded version of a URL for accessing the employment status registration page, generated by the generation processing unit 11, in a predetermined location on the resume. Note that in addition to or instead of the two-dimensional code, the resume may be created so that the URL for accessing the employment status registration page is directly written in a predetermined location on the resume.

The print processing unit 15 prints a resume based on the resume data created by the resume creation processing unit 14.
The printed resume is sent to the job seeker, who then brings it to an interview with a potential employer.

The contract processing unit 16 executes processing related to the conclusion of a contract, such as an employment contract, between the job seeker and the hired party after the hiring of the job seeker has been decided.
Specifically, based on the job information and the information of the job seeker and the employer, a specific contract is prepared from a prescribed contract form, and this is sent to the job seeker terminal 2 and the employer terminal 3, thereby concluding an employment contract, etc.
The contract created here is, for example, an electronic contract, and employment contracts and the like can be concluded online.
The contract concluded by the contract processing unit 16 may be an appropriate contract, such as a service contract, depending on the content of the job offer.

The settlement processing unit 17 executes a payment process for the adopter to the publisher of the information-providing medium M for the publication or adoption of the information-providing medium M. The payment of the payment is made, for example, in the form of points, cash, virtual currency, or some other valuable item. Note that the actual payment of the valuable item is made, for example, based on the account information of the adopter and the publisher, or the information of a wallet for virtual currency.
Furthermore, this compensation may take the form of a success fee paid by the employer to the advertiser who advertised the information medium M that led to the job offer for the job seeker when the employer is successful in hiring the job seeker, or it may take the form of a posting fee paid by the employer to the advertiser for the act of posting on the information medium M itself, and is paid at a specified time depending on the respective reasons for payment.

The communication processing unit 18 transmits and receives various data to and from the job seeker terminal 2, the employer terminal 3, and the advertiser terminal 4 via a network NW such as the Internet.
Specifically, application information for a given job posting and job seeker career information are received from the job seeker terminal 2, and information on whether an interview can be arranged is transmitted to the job seeker terminal 2. Furthermore, application information received from job seekers is transmitted to the employer terminal 3, and information on whether an interview can be arranged with the job seeker and employment status is received. Furthermore, an activation code for enabling the reception of application information via the application page is received from the advertiser terminal 4.
In addition, the exchange of data and notifications between job seekers, employers, and advertisers via the job seeker terminal 2, employer terminal 3, and advertiser terminal 4 can be carried out in a variety of ways, such as via the personal pages of each job seeker, employer, and advertiser set up on a designated website, or via email of the job seeker, employer, and advertiser.

The employer information storage unit 1A is a storage unit that stores employer information on employers who provide job information and hire job seekers.
The employee information includes the name and contact information of the employee.

The publisher information storage unit 1B is a storage unit that stores publisher information on publishers who advertise the information providing medium M at the request of the adopter.
The publisher information includes the publisher's name, contact information, and an activation code.
The activation code is information for activating the information providing medium M. In this embodiment, this activation code is information unique to each publisher, and when a specific information providing medium M is activated by the activation code, it is possible to determine which publisher has activated the specific information providing medium M. Also, in this embodiment, it is assumed that the information providing medium M is activated by the publisher who publishes the information providing medium M, and this makes it possible to determine which publisher published the information providing medium M.
The activation code may be information used only to activate the information providing medium M, or may be other information capable of identifying the publisher, such as a publisher ID.

The job information storage unit 1C is a storage unit that stores job information provided by employers.
As shown in Figure 5, for example, this job information storage unit 1C stores the job content, the employer ID of the employer who is the provider or recruiter of the job information, the publisher ID of the publisher who publishes the information providing medium M corresponding to the job information, the publication address of the information providing medium M, etc., in association with a job ID that identifies the job information.

The job description includes information necessary for job hunting, such as employment conditions, such as the place of work, working hours, working style, and wages, that are generally required to be presented as job information. The job information stored in the job information storage unit 1C is reflected on the application page, and the recruit can grasp the information through the application page.
The information related to the publisher ID and the posting address is stored after it is decided that the information providing medium M corresponding to the job information will be posted by a specific publisher. In this embodiment, the publisher ID also serves as an activation code, and when the publisher ID of a specific publisher is registered as an activation code for specific job information registered in the job information storage unit 1C, acceptance of application information via the application page is enabled.

The application information storage unit 1D is a storage unit that stores application information related to the content of an application by a job seeker for a specific job offer information.
As shown in FIG. 6, for example, this application information storage unit 1D stores the application details, applicant information of the job seeker applicant, a job information ID that identifies the job information to which the application is directed, and information regarding whether the job seeker will be hired after applying, all in association with an application information ID for identifying the application information.

Applicant information includes information typically requested when applying for a job, such as the job seeker's name, age, and other attributes.
Information regarding whether or not to hire a job seeker is registered after the employer has decided whether or not to hire the job seeker.

The performance information storage unit 1E is a storage unit that stores information related to the work performance of a job seeker.
In this performance information storage unit 1E, as shown in FIG. 7, for example, job seeker information relating to the job seeker's name, attributes, etc., work performance, and application history are stored in association with a job seeker ID that can identify the job seeker.
Information on work history includes information on which employee worked for whom, as well as job content, period of employment, etc.
Information related to the application history includes information about the job applications you have applied for and information about whether or not you were ultimately hired, regardless of whether or not you were hired.

The performance information storage unit 1E may also include personal information and attribute information of job seekers.
Further, information such as evaluations during work, attendance records, and qualifications held by the job seeker may be registered in this performance information storage unit 1E, and such information may be managed by the job seeker as information belonging to the individual job seeker, or may be used in appropriate situations or circumstances. For example, it may be useful for the job seeker to use this information as objective information to promote himself or herself when looking for a job or changing jobs. It is also useful when, with the permission of the employer, the job information providing device 1 refers to such performance information of the job seeker and provides job information suited to the job seeker.

Also, in order to allow evaluations by employers after a job seeker is hired to be accumulated at any time, a web page for the employer to input evaluations may be provided, and a URL for accessing the web page may be provided in the resume. This URL may be provided for the web page for inputting evaluations, or the URL of the employment approval/disapproval registration page written as a two-dimensional code on the resume may be used as a URL for accessing the web page for inputting evaluations after the job seeker is hired by a specific employer.
Furthermore, assuming that personal information of job seekers and other information whose objectivity must be maintained will be accumulated in this way, it would be advisable to appropriately use technologies such as blockchain (distributed ledger technology) to manage the information in an appropriate manner.

The job seeker terminal 2 is a terminal used by a job seeker.
This job seeker terminal 2 is realized by, for example, a portable terminal or tablet terminal capable of transmitting and receiving data.
This job seeker terminal 2 at least has a communication processing means such as a browser program for transmitting and receiving data with the job information providing device 1, an input/output means such as a touch-type display for inputting and outputting data, and a URL acquisition means for acquiring the URL of the application page from the information providing medium M.

The URL acquisition means has a different configuration depending on how the URL of the application page is provided on the information providing medium M. If the URL of the application page is encoded as a two-dimensional code, it is composed of an imaging means such as a CCD camera that captures the two-dimensional code, and a decoding means that decodes the two-dimensional code. If the URL of the application page is provided by NFC (Near Field Communication), it is composed of a communication module based on the NFC communication standard. However, if the URL of the application page is printed directly on the information providing medium M, the URL may be input directly by the input/output means, and it is possible to access the application page without having a URL acquisition means.

The employer terminal 3 is a terminal used by an employer who hires a job seeker, and is realized by a so-called personal computer or tablet terminal, or a portable terminal capable of sending and receiving data, a so-called smart device, or the like.
This employee terminal 3 is equipped at least with input/output means for inputting and outputting various types of data, communication processing means for transmitting and receiving data between the job information providing device 1 and a network NW such as the Internet, as well as a URL acquisition means for acquiring the URL of the employment acceptance registration page from the information providing medium M.

The URL acquisition means, like the URL acquisition means of the job seeker terminal 2 described above, has a different configuration depending on how the URL of the employment status registration page is provided in the resume. If the URL of the employment status registration page is encoded in a two-dimensional code, it is composed of a photographing means such as a CCD camera that photographs the two-dimensional code, and a decoding means that decodes the two-dimensional code. If the URL of the employment status registration page is provided by NFC (Near Field Communication), it is composed of a communication module based on the NFC communication standard. However, if the URL of the employment status registration page is printed directly on the resume, the URL may be input directly by the input/output means, and it is possible to access the employment status registration page without having a URL acquisition means.

The advertiser terminal 4 is a terminal used by the advertiser to post the information medium M at the request of the adopter, and like the adopter terminal 3, is realized by a so-called personal computer or tablet terminal, or a portable terminal capable of sending and receiving data, such as a so-called smart device.
This advertiser terminal 4 comprises at least an input/output means for inputting and outputting various types of data, and a communication processing means for transmitting and receiving data to and from the job information providing device 1 via a network NW such as the Internet.

Processing Flow Next, a processing flow executed by the job information providing system according to this embodiment will be described.
Using Figures 8 and 9, we will explain the processing flow from when an employer registers job information in the job information providing device 1 to when the information providing medium M, which provides the URL of the application page for applying for the job information, is posted by the advertiser.
FIG. 8 shows a case where the adopter and the advertiser are the same person, while FIG. 9 shows a case where the adopter and the advertiser are different people.

First, with reference to FIG. 8, a case where the recruit and the advertiser are the same person will be described.
First, an employer/advertiser provides job information to the job information providing device 1 via a predetermined website or the like using the employer terminal 3/advertiser terminal 4 as an employer, and requests registration of the information (S201).
In response to this, the job information providing device 1 registers the job information in the job information storage unit 1C (S202).

The job information providing device 1 generates an application page for the job information and a URL for the application page using the generation processing unit 11 (S203).
In addition, a two-dimensional code encoding the URL of the application page is generated, and an information providing medium M holding information related to the URL of the application page is created (S204), and the information providing medium M is sent to the recruiter/advertiser (S205).

When the employer/advertiser receives the information providing medium M, he/she enters an activation code on a specified website to enable the acceptance of application information via the application page as the advertiser, and requests the job information providing device 1 to enable the acceptance of application information via the application page (S206).
When the job information providing device 1 receives an activation code, for example, it receives access from the employer terminal 3/advertiser terminal 4 from a URL stored in the information providing medium M, and determines whether or not the acceptance of job information from the application page corresponding to the URL is enabled. If it determines that the acceptance is not enabled, it may open a web page that requests the input of an activation code and accept the activation code.

When the job information providing device 1 receives the activation code, it identifies the advertiser by the activation code. Then, the validation processing unit 12 registers the specified information providing medium M in the job information storage unit 1C as a job posted by the identified advertiser, and validates the acceptance of application information via the application page corresponding to the URL held by the specified information providing medium M (S207).
On the other hand, the advertiser advertises the activated information providing medium M so that it catches the attention of job seekers, and thus the job information is accepted (S208).

In the above example, the information providing medium M is created by the job information providing device 1 and sent to the recruiter/advertiser. However, regardless of this, the information to be printed on the information providing medium M, including the URL of the application page and a two-dimensional code, may be sent from the job information providing device 1 to the recruiter terminal 3/advertiser terminal 4, and the recruiter/advertiser who receives this may print the information on a specified printing paper to create the information providing medium M.

Next, a case where the adopter and the advertiser are different persons will be described with reference to FIG.
First, an employer provides employment information to the employment information providing device 1 via a specific website or the like using the employer terminal 3, and requests registration of the information (S301).
In response to this, the job information providing device 1 registers the job information in the job information storage unit 1C (S302).

The job information providing device 1 generates an application page for the job information and a URL for the application page using the generation processing unit 11 (S303).
In addition, a two-dimensional code encoding the URL of the application page is generated, and an information providing medium M holding information related to the URL of the application page is created (S304), and the information providing medium M is sent to the successful applicant (S305).

When the adopter receives the information providing medium M, the adopter requests the desired publisher to publish the information providing medium M (S306). The adopter can arbitrarily select the publisher of the information providing medium M, but it is considered preferable to select a publisher that operates a store in the adopter's neighborhood that is likely to catch the eye of nearby residents, such as a convenience store.

When the advertiser accepts the advertisement request from the employer, the advertiser inputs an activation code for enabling the acceptance of application information via the application page on a specified website, and requests the job information providing device 1 to enable the acceptance of application information via the application page (S307).

When the job information providing device 1 receives the activation code, it identifies the poster by the activation code. Then, the validation processing unit 12 registers the specified information providing medium M in the job information storage unit 1C as a job posted by the identified poster, and validates the acceptance of application information via the application page corresponding to the URL held by the specified information providing medium M (S308).
On the other hand, the advertiser advertises the activated information providing medium M so that it catches the attention of job seekers, and thus the job information is accepted (S309).

In this example, too, the job information providing device 1 may transmit information to be printed on the information providing medium M, including the URL of the application page and a two-dimensional code, to the employer's terminal 3, and the employer who receives this may print the information on a specified printing paper to create the information providing medium M. Furthermore, in this example, the employer may specify the publisher terminal 4 of a specified advertiser, and have the job information providing device 1 transmit the information to be printed on the information providing medium M to the specified publisher terminal 4, so that the advertiser can create and post the information providing medium M.

Next, the flow of processing when a job seeker applies for a job offer will be described with reference to FIG.
When a job seeker visits a store or the like of a publisher where information media M are posted and finds an information media M that interests him/her, he/she reads the information media M with the job seeker terminal 2 and obtains the URL of the application page (S401).Then, he/she accesses the application page (S402) and applies for the job information (S403).

In response to an application from a job seeker, the job information providing device 1 refers to the performance information storage unit 1E by the determination processing unit 13 to determine whether the job seeker has applied to a place where the job seeker has a work experience (S404).
As a result, if the job seeker has applied to a company where the job seeker has a working record, the company decides to employ the job seeker. The process thereafter will be described later with reference to FIG.
On the other hand, if there is no work experience, the applicant is notified of the application along with the application information (S405).

The employer refers to the application information and determines whether or not to proceed to an interview with the job seeker (S406).
As a result, if it is decided not to proceed to the interview, the employment is rejected (S407), and when the job information providing device 1 receives a notice of the rejection from the employed person terminal 3, it notifies the job seeker terminal 2 of this and ends the process.
On the other hand, if it is decided to proceed to the interview, the employer sends a notice to that effect to the job information providing device 1 (S408), and the job information providing device 1 further sends the same notice to the job seeker terminal 2 (S409).

In this embodiment, when a job seeker with no work experience applies, the employer is asked whether or not an interview is possible, but in other embodiments, the process may proceed to the interview without inquiring whether or not an interview is possible. In this case, for example, after determining the work experience in S404, if there is no work experience, the process proceeds to the resume creation process described later with reference to FIG.
In addition, the system may determine whether the job seeker's application information matches the application conditions stipulated in the job search information, and only if the application conditions are met, the application information may be notified to an employer or the job seeker may be processed to proceed to an interview.

Next, the process that follows when the job seeker has applied to a company where the job seeker has worked in S404 of Fig. 10 will be described later with reference to Fig. 11.
The job information providing device 1 notifies the employer terminal 3 that a job seeker with work experience has applied (S501). In response, the employer decides whether or not to hire the job seeker (S502).
If the employer judges that the candidate is not to be hired, the employment is rejected (S503), and when the job information providing device 1 receives a notice of the rejection from the employer terminal 3, it notifies the job seeker terminal 2 of the rejection and ends the process.

On the other hand, if the employer decides to hire the job seeker, the employer terminal 3 notifies the job information providing device 1 of this (S504), and the job information providing device 1 further transmits a notification of this to the job seeker terminal 2 (S505).
When the employment is decided, the contract processing unit 16 executes the process of concluding an employment contract between the job seeker and the employer (S506).

Next, following the process of S409 in FIG. 10 described above, the process from when a job seeker creates a resume to when he or she has an interview with an employer will be described with reference to FIG.
A job seeker accesses a specific website that supports the creation of a resume (hereinafter, sometimes referred to as a "resume creation site") in order to create a resume to take to an interview with an employer (S601).
Then, on the resume creation site, the job seeker provides his/her career information by, for example, inputting the necessary career information into a specified format (S602).
In addition, if a job seeker has information related to his or her career history or achievements in the achievement information storage unit 1E, he or she may refer to such information as appropriate or request the job information providing device 1 to input such information.

In response to this, the job information providing device 1 creates resume data using the resume creation processing unit 14 (S603).
In addition, in accordance with the processing by the resume creation processing unit 14, the generation processing unit 11 generates a two-dimensional code that encodes an employment possibility registration page and a URL for accessing the employment possibility registration page. The generated two-dimensional code is written by the resume creation processing unit 14 in a predetermined location, such as the back side or a margin of the resume.

In addition to or instead of the two-dimensional code, the resume may be created so that a URL for accessing the employment status registration page is written directly in a specified location on the resume.
The URL for accessing the employment/rejection registration page may be provided by an NFC provided in the resume.

The print processing unit 15 prints the resume based on the resume data created by the resume creation processing unit 14 (S604).
The printed resume is sent to the job seeker (S605), and the job seeker takes the resume with him or her to an interview with an employer (S606).

Next, the process from when the employer interviews the job seeker until the employment decision is registered will be described with reference to FIG.
The employer who has determined whether or not to employ the job seeker reads a two-dimensional code printed on the resume brought by the job seeker, which code is a URL for accessing a job seeker's employment registration page, to obtain the URL (S701), and accesses the job seeker's employment registration page via the URL (S702).

The employer notifies the job seeker of the employment result, ie, the employment/non-employment decision, on the employment/non-employment registration page (S703).
In response, the job information providing device 1 registers the interview result in the application information storage unit 1D as information related to employment advisability (S704), and notifies the job seeker of the interview result (S705).
Thereafter, if the job seeker is decided to be hired, the contract processing unit 16 executes the process of concluding an employment contract between the job seeker and the hirer (S706).

As described above, when a decision is made to employ a job seeker, the work record of that job seeker is registered at an appropriate time.
The work record of the job seeker is provided by the employer terminal 3 via a specific website, for example, and is registered in the record information storage unit 1E of the job information providing device 1.

Furthermore, in the case where a reward is to be paid from the employer to the advertiser in response to the employment of the job seeker, a payment process for the reward is executed.
This process is executed after the employment of the job seeker is decided, or after an employment contract is concluded between the job seeker and the employer. Specifically, the job information providing device 1 refers to the application information storage unit 1D for the job information for which employment has been decided, and identifies the publisher who posted the information providing medium M corresponding to the job information. Then, the settlement processing unit 17 executes a process for the employer to pay the specified remuneration to the publisher. The payment of the remuneration may be accomplished by issuing an invoice to the employer for payment of the specified remuneration to the publisher, or by executing a settlement process for the remuneration based on information such as the accounts or virtual currency wallets of the employer and the publisher.

According to the job information providing system according to the embodiment of the present invention described above, when providing job information using the information providing medium M, it is possible to increase the appeal of the job information to job seekers and realize efficient recruitment. In addition, there are benefits for advertisers, such as being paid a reward for successfully recruiting a job seeker or for advertising on the information providing medium M, and job seekers visiting a store or the like to view the information providing medium M.

Next, a process according to another embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to FIG.
The process described here involves enclosing a job advertisement when sending a resume to a job seeker from the job information providing device 1, and making it possible to accept applications for specific job information from the enclosed job advertisement.
In the following description, a person who requests the enclosing of a job advertisement is referred to as a requester, and the requester uses the requester terminal 5. A person who receives a request to enclose a job advertisement is referred to as a requestee, and the requestee uses the requestee terminal 6.

The client requests a job advertisement and inputs job information via a specified website or the like (S801).
The job information providing device 1 registers job information in the job information storage unit 1C (S802), and transmits to a specified requestee a request to enclose an advertisement together with the resume when sending the resume to a job seeker who has applied for the job at the requestee (S803). The selection of the requestee may be determined at the requester's discretion, or may be determined based on the schedule for sending the resume.

The request recipient determines whether or not to accept the request to enclose the advertisement (S804).
If the offer is not accepted, the job information providing device 1 is notified of this fact, and the process ends (S805).
On the other hand, if the requested party agrees, the job information providing device 1 is notified of the fact (S806), and the requested party's information is registered in association with the job information (S807). Furthermore, the generation processing unit 11 generates an application page and URL for the requester's job information, and also generates a two-dimensional code that encodes the URL (S808).

When an advertisement that appropriately describes the job offer details and the like in addition to the generated two-dimensional code is created according to a prescribed format (S809), the advertisement is printed by the print processing unit 15 (S810) and sent to the job seeker together with the resume (S811).
Job seekers who receive the advertisement along with their resume can take their resume to the interview with the employer as originally planned, or if they are interested in the job information in the advertisement, they can obtain the URL of the application page from the two-dimensional code in the advertisement and apply for the job.

In this embodiment, the process after a job seeker accesses the application page is executed in the same manner as in the above-described embodiment.
Furthermore, the remuneration from the client to the client for enclosing the advertisement may be a fixed amount depending on the enclosing, or may be paid when the client is able to employ the job seeker. In the case where the remuneration is paid when the client is able to employ the job seeker, the client is identified as the recipient of the remuneration payment in S807 described above, since the client is registered in association with the job information.

In addition, if a job seeker is hired by the employer who placed the advertisement instead of the employer who conducted the job interview or scheduled the job interview with the job seeker based on the resume, the employer who actually hired the job seeker may give a certain amount of cash back to the employer who conducted the job interview or scheduled the job interview based on the resume.

It is also possible to obtain prior consent from the job seeker preparing the resume to enclose an advertisement with the resume. In this case, for example, the job seeker's consent to enclosing an advertisement may be obtained on the website for preparing the resume. Furthermore, if the job seeker consents to enclosing an advertisement, a specified incentive may be paid to the job seeker.

This allows us to provide job seekers with highly accurate job information, and employers can also place advertisements that are more likely to result in a successful hire.

In addition, in the above embodiment of the present invention, the information providing medium M created for one job listing may be one or multiple. Furthermore, the information providing medium M created for the job listing may be posted by multiple advertisers, not just one advertiser.

In addition, when the information providing medium M created for one job information is posted by multiple advertisers, it is preferable that the advertiser of the information providing medium M referenced by the job seeker can be identified when the employment of the job seeker is decided. Various methods can be used to identify such an advertiser, but for example, as shown in Figure 15, a URL stored in the information providing medium M in which the advertiser posts is changed for each advertiser, and the URL is associated with the advertiser and the job information and registered. The URL stored in the information providing medium M is redirected to an application page for the same job information, and when a job seeker accesses the application page, it is possible to identify which status providing medium the job seeker used to access the page by identifying the URL from which the job seeker was redirected.
This allows the adopter to request advertisements in the information providing medium M from a plurality of advertisers, such as a plurality of nearby convenience stores, and when the advertisement is adopted, the adopter can identify the advertiser who contributed to the adoption and pay a reward to the identified advertiser.

In addition, in the above embodiment of the present invention, by referring to the information stored in the application information storage unit 1D, information such as the advertiser who posted on the information providing medium M, the location of the advertiser's store, etc., and the success or failure of the hiring can be analyzed, which clarifies the trends of job seekers and the most efficient locations for posting on the information providing medium M, and by feeding back the results of such analysis into the provision of job information, the efficiency of hiring job seekers can be further improved.

In addition, in the above-described embodiment of the present invention, a dedicated application that can be installed on the job seeker terminal 2, etc. may be provided to the job seeker, etc. In this case, by executing the functions of the application, it may be possible to perform a search of the information providing medium M on a map, for the job seeker to obtain information from the information providing medium M, and for the job seeker and the employer to exchange information via the job information providing device 1.

Note that in the job information providing system according to the present embodiment described above, the functional configuration of each terminal or device is merely an example, and the functional units shown in this example may also be provided in a terminal or device different from this example.
