Abstract

L'invention concerne un systeme et un procédé permettant d'affecter du personnel sur un réseau informatique. Ledit système comprend des moyens permettant de stocker des informations relatives à une pluralité de postes et de candidats disponibles, et des moyens permettant d'afficher chaque type d'information via une interface graphique unique. Le système comprend également des filtres permettant de filtrer des informations de poste et de candidat à l'aide d'une pluralité de critères, et un mécanisme permettant de distinguer les postes et les candidats filtrés en fonction de leur degré de correspondance avec les critères de filtre respectifs. Les interfaces graphiques comprennent des moyens de régler dynamiquement et sélectivement les critères de capacités et/ou de filtre de culture associés à un poste ou à un candidat particulier. Le système consiste à planifier dynamiquement des interviews entre des candidats et des entreprises offrant des postes à travers ledit système, et à intégrer des candidats provenant d'une pluralité d'origines différentes, et les afficher par origine.
