Definitions
- This invention consists of a method and platform for providing an interactive internet computer-driven IP based streaming video/audio webcam meeting and interview apparatus, intended for the process of job search, employer recruiting and selection of candidates for employment.
- this invention will enable employers to “Enhance Conventional Recruiting Methods by Embracing New Computer-Driven Video Conferencing Technology” all through a convenient web site which will allow both Employers and Candidates a convenient and unique method of employee recruitment and employment search.
- This invention truly enhances conventional online recruiting methods by allowing Candidates and Employers to meet through video conferencing in real time from remote locations. Additionally, employers will be able to view personalized candidate profiles with their written and video resumes, personal pictures, contact information and any additional personal/professional information intended to attract employers.
- the employer may schedule and perform pre-hire interviews (pre-hire conversations) with candidates internationally or conference with current employees and or other companies registered with this online computer driven apparatus via a webcam or any IP based streaming media video input/output device that has the ability to connect to the World Wide Web or the “Web” for employment purposes.
- the objective of this invention is to provide a method and apparatus of establishing intimate relationships between employers seeking candidates and candidates seeking employment opportunities.
- This invention will allow employers to “Virtually” meet a candidate and vice-versa without actually having the candidate present. This will further reduce global pollution, reduce wasted company expenditures and reduce wasted time by eliminating the need to physically travel to interview or meet for the purpose of employment.
- the second employment recruiting model would be indirect or assisted recruiting. This is where the employer may pay a third party company, either an internet driven recruiter or a human driven recruiting company to advertise their available employment opportunities within databases offering a much higher candidate exposure and possibly pre-qualified candidates. With human driven recruiting companies, an employer may incur substantially higher costs for recruiting candidates through finders fees, advertisement fees, etc. Also, there is still a risk that the employer would waste time searching through excess marginal or unqualified candidates submitted from the human driven recruiting company due to human error and misunderstandings, resulting in increased recruiting costs and a substantial loss of time.
- an employer may incur a large annual fee to have access to this type of recruiting apparatus. With this model, not only does the employer incur an annual fee, it can also consume a significant amount of its Personnel Department's time.
- Most internet recruiting inventions offer large vast databases with many candidates, resumes and search filtering devices intended to assist and filter the searching for candidates relevant to the employer's available employment opportunities.
- the online recruiting method utilizes the advantage of the internet's broad market reach it lacks the vital element of Human Interaction and the ability to obtain an intimate relationship via the internet computer-driven recruiting apparatus.
- the employer will lose substantial time through such things as; posting available job openings, screening through impersonal candidate profiles, searching through impersonal resumes, lastly scheduling and performing blind interviews resulting in both higher costs of advertisements and a substantial loss of time.
- Method and platform for providing an interactive internet computer-driven IP based streaming video/webcam meeting and interview apparatus intended for the process of job search, employer recruiting and selection of candidates for employment.
- this invention will enable employers to fully “Enhance Conventional Recruiting Methods by Embracing New Technology” all through a web site which will allow both Employers and Candidates a convenient and unique method of employee recruitment and employment search.
- the invention will truly enhance conventional recruiting methods by allowing candidates and employers to personally meet while at remote locations.
- Employers will be able to view personalized candidate profiles with their written and video resumes, personal pictures, contact information and any additional personal/professional information intended to attract employers.
- the employer may perform pre-hire interviews (pre-hire conversations) with candidates or conference with current employees and other companies registered with this online computer driven apparatus via a webcam or any IP based streaming media video and audio input/output device that has the ability to connect to the or the Web.
- a further object of the invention is to provide a method and apparatus designed for establishing the most intimate relationships between employers seeking candidates and candidates seeking employment opportunities.
- This invention will allow employers to search through candidate profiles and meet candidates without actually having the candidate present. Once the relationship has been created, the employer or the candidate may decide if they have created a successful relationship, if not, the candidate may block the employers' profile and the employer may block the candidates' profile to cease future contact. Also a candidate or employer at any time may block any profile from viewing their page, intended as a convenience so there are no profiles posted as confidential in this apparatus.
- This invention will first use Domain Name servers (or DNS Server). When a candidate or employer types the uniform resource locator (URL) associated with the DNS Server into their browser bar, they will be requesting the IP address for a particular website from a DNS server. Instead of owning and maintaining any DNS servers, provider of this invention will use a “Managed DNS” service which will basically handle user IP requests through a huge network of servers, distributing the load based on which servers are available at any given time. This system cuts down on congestion, resulting in fewer slowdowns and DNS errors for users at peak access times.
- DNS Server Domain Name servers
- Proxy servers will sit between a user computer and the provider of the apparatus's main servers. They will then deliver cached content to users which will limit redundant requests to the provider of the apparatus's application servers. Enabling content caching at this level will cut down on congestion.
- the invention will utilize a database comprised of managed scalable cluster servers.
- the cluster stores users' uploaded media files (images, videos, resume, etc.).
- this invention's back-end will be an I/O interfacing server switch.
- This server switch will facilitate communication between multiple severs on multiple platforms—in this case, between all of the servers in the provider of the apparatus's infrastructure and between the provider of the apparatus's servers and the external servers that deliver content to the end user.
