  • coordinating system 10 queries a user whether override of the requirement information 26 is desired. If the user or operator elects to override requirement information 26, then at step 324, the requirement information 26 may be modified. For example, a user of coordinating system 10 may utilize any suitable interface, such as third interface 36, to access and change requirement information 26. From step 324, coordinating system 10 may return to step 308 where the process of determining matches between the candidates and the available position is repeated using the modified requirement information 26. Steps 308-324 may be performed until match information 32 comprises a satisfactory list of candidates for the available position. Thus, when it is determined at step 322 that no override of requirement information 26 is necessary, method 300 ends.
  • Method 300 has been provided, by way of example only, to illustrate how the present invention can be used to identify suitable candidates for a particular position that is available. It should be understood, however, that the present invention is not limited to such an exemplary embodiment. For example, in another embodiment, the present invention can be used to identify suitable positions for a candidate seeking employment .
