The auction server 40 is also connected to an electronic mail (E-mail) server 50, which is in turn connected to the plurality of job hunter computer terminals 10- 1 — 10-N and the plurality of job offerer computer terminals 20-1 ~-20-N via the Internet communication line 30.
In the present embodiment, each of the job hunter computer terminals 10- 1 — 10-N, job offerer computer terminals 20-1 —20-N, auction server 40 and E- mail server 50 may preferably include a communication interface for connection to the Internet communication line 30, such as a modem, and appropriate communication software associated with the communication interface. Further, the auction server 40 may include a job hunting auction program, job offer auction program, Web server and database server. The database server may include a job hunter database, job offerer database, job hunting auction database, job offer auction database, bidding database, etc.
Fig. 2 is a flowchart illustrating a method for putting job hunting to auction over a computer network in accordance with the present invention, Fig. 3 is a flowchart illustrating a job hunting auction application step S2 in Fig. 2 in more detail, Fig. 4 is a flowchart illustrating a bidding step S3 in Fig. 2 in more detail, and Fig. 5 is a flowchart illustrating a successful bidder determination step S4 in Fig. 2 in more detail.
Now, a detailed description will be given of the method for putting the job hunting to auction over the computer network in accordance with the present invention, with reference to Figs. 2 to 5 and Figs. 10 to 13. As shown in Fig. 2, first, job hunters wishing to look for jobs at auction or job offerers wishing to offer jobs at auction join the job hunting/job offer auction system as members using their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N or 20-1 ~20-N at step SI .
In other words, if the job hunters or job offerers access the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N or 20-l ~~20-N, then the auction server 40 displays an initial picture of an auction site on the computer terminals 10- 1 ~ 10-N or 20-1 ~20-N. If the job hunters or job offerers click a member joining folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member joining picture as shown in Fig. 10 on the computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N or 20-1 — 20-N of the job hunters or job offerers. Subsequently, the job hunters or job offerers join the job hunting/job offer auction system by entering and registering their personal information such as member identification (ID) numbers, passwords, names, resident registration numbers or company registration numbers, telephone numbers, addresses, E-mail addresses, bank account numbers, etc. in the auction server 40 through the displayed member joining picture using their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N or 20-1 ~20-N. At step S2, the job hunters apply for jobs at auction by registering their situation-wanted information in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N.
Namely, as shown in Fig. 3, first, the job hunters access the auction server 40 at step S21 by operating their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N. Upon being accessed by the job hunters, the auction server 40 displays the initial picture of the auction site as mentioned above on the computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N of the job hunters. If the job hunters click a job hunting auction registration folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member ID number/password entry picture on the computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N of the job hunters.
Subsequently, the job hunters enter their member ID numbers and passwords in the displayed member ID number/password entry picture at step S22 by operating their computer terminals 10-1 ~~ 10-N. At this time, the auction server 40 compares the member ID numbers and passwords of the job hunters entered in the above manner with those previously registered in a job hunter database, respectively, and then displays a job hunting auction application picture as shown in Fig. 11 on the computer terminals 10- 1 — 10-N of the job hunters if the entered member ID numbers and passwords are the same as those previously registered in the job hunter database.
Thereafter, the job hunters register their situation- wanted information such as names, birth dates, desired occupation types, held qualification certificates, careers, initial wages, requirements, self-introductions, etc. in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N at step S23. Subsequently, the job hunters register job hunting auction closing dates and times in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N at step S24. Alternatively, the auction server 40 may determine the job hunting auction closing dates and times by automatically adding a predetermined time to the respective times when the job hunters register. On the other hand, when the auction server 40 opens the situation-wanted information registered in the above manner to the public, the job offerers bid for the registered situation-wanted information at step S3 in Fig. 2 by registering their bidding information (help-wanted conditions) in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20-1 ~20-N.
That is, as shown in Fig. 4, first, the job offerers access the auction server 40 at step S31 by operating their computer terminals 20-1 — 20-N. Upon being accessed by the job offerers, the auction server 40 displays the initial picture of the auction site as mentioned above on the computer terminals 20-1 -— 20-N of the job offerers. If the job offerers click a bidding folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member ID number/password entry picture on the computer terminals 20-1 ~~20-N of the job offerers.
Then, the job offerers enter their member ID numbers and passwords in the displayed member ID number/password entry picture at step S32 by operating their computer terminals 20-1 -20-N.
At this time, the auction server 40 compares the member ID numbers and passwords of the job offerers entered in the above manner with those previously registered in a job offerer database, respectively, and then displays a bidding picture as shown in Fig. 12 on the computer terminals 20-1 —20-N of the job offerers if the entered member ID numbers and passwords are the same as those previously registered in the job offerer database. Thereafter, the job offerers register their bidding information such as desired bidding prices, requirement acceptances or rejections, etc. in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20-1 —20-N at step S33.
Subsequently, the auction server 40 determines at step S34 whether the current date and time have reached a given job hunting auction closing date and time. If the current date and time have not reached the given job hunting auction closing date and time at step S34, then the auction server 40 returns to the above step S31 to allow a large number of job offerers to register their bidding information. To the contrary, if the current date and time have reached the given job hunting auction closing date and time at step S34, then the auction server 40 proceeds to step S4 in Fig. 2.
At step S4 in Fig. 2, the job hunters determine successful bidders among the above job offerers on the basis of the bidding information registered in the above manner using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N.
Namely, as shown in Fig. 5, first, the auction server 40 determines a plurality of preliminary successful bidders among the above job offerers on the basis of the registered bidding information (for example, in order of the desired bidding prices) at step S41. Then, the auction server 40 displays a successful bidder selection picture as shown in Fig. 13 on the computer terminals 10-1 -**- 10-N of the job hunters. At step S42, the job hunters determine final successful bidders among the preliminary successful bidders on the basis of the bidding information (help-wanted conditions) registered by the preliminary successful bidders and enter the determined results in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10- 1 - 10-N.
Then, at step S5 in Fig. 2, the auction server 40 notifies the final successful bidders entered by the computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N of the job hunters through the E-mail server 50 that they have successfully bidden.
Fig. 6 is a flowchart illustrating a method for putting job offers to auction over a computer network in accordance with the present invention, Fig. 7 is a flowchart illustrating a job offer auction application step P2 in Fig. 6 in more detail, Fig. 8 is a flowchart illustrating a bidding step P3 in Fig. 6 in more detail, and Fig. 9 is a flowchart illustrating a successful bidder determination step P4 in Fig. 6 in more detail.
Now, a detailed description will be given of the method for putting the job offers to auction over the computer network in accordance with the present invention, with reference to Figs. 6 to 9. As shown in Fig. 6, first, job hunters wishing to look for jobs at auction or job offerers wishing to offer jobs at auction join the job hunting/job offer auction system as members using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N or 20-1 —20-N at step PI .
In other words, if the job hunters or job offerers access the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N or 20-1 — 20-N, then the auction server 40 displays an initial picture of an auction site on the computer terminals 10- 1 — 10-N or 20-1 — 20-N. If the job hunters or job offerers click a member joining folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member joining picture on the computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N or 20-1 — 20-N of the job hunters or job offerers. Subsequently, the job hunters or job offerers join the job hunting/job offer auction system by entering and registering their personal information such as member identification (ID) numbers, passwords, names, resident registration numbers or company registration numbers, telephone numbers, addresses, E-mail addresses, bank account numbers, etc. in the auction server 40 through the displayed member joining picture using their computer terminals 10-1 - 10-N or 20-1 -20-N.
At step P2, the job offerers apply for workers at auction by registering their help-wanted information in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20-1 -20-N.
Namely, as shown in Fig. 7, first, the job offerers access the auction server 40 at step P21 by operating their computer terminals 20-1 — 20-N. Upon being accessed by the job offerers, the auction server 40 displays the initial picture of the auction site as mentioned above on the computer terminals 20-1 —20-N of the job offerers. If the job offerers click a job offer auction registration folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member ID number/password entry picture on the computer terminals 20-1 —20-N of the job offerers.
Then, the job offerers enter their member ID numbers and passwords in the displayed member ID number/password entry picture at step P22 by operating their computer terminals 20-1 —20-N. At this time, the auction server 40 compares the member ID numbers and passwords of the job offerers entered in the above manner with those previously registered in a job offerer database, respectively, and then displays a job offer auction application picture on the computer terminals 20-1 — 20-N of the job offerers if the entered member ID numbers and passwords are the same as those previously registered in the job offerer database.
Thereafter, the job offerers register their help-wanted information such as company names, company registration numbers, desired occupation types, desired qualification certificates, desired careers, initial wages, requirements, company introductions, etc. in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20- 1 - 20-N at step P23. Subsequently, the job offerers register job offer auction closing dates and times in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20-1 —20-N at step P24. Alternatively, the auction server 40 may determine the job offer auction closing dates and times by automatically adding a predetermined time to the respective times when the job offerers register. On the other hand, when the auction server 40 opens the help- wanted information registered in the above manner to the public, the job hunters bid for the registered help-wanted information at step P3 in Fig. 6 by registering their bidding information (situation-wanted conditions) in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N. Namely, as shown in Fig. 8, first, the job hunters access the auction server
40 at step P31 by operating their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N. Upon being accessed by the job hunters, the auction server 40 displays the initial picture of the auction site as mentioned above on the computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N of the job hunters. If the job hunters click a bidding folder on the displayed initial picture, then the auction server 40 displays a member ID number/password entry picture on the computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N of the job hunters.
Then, the job hunters enter their member ID numbers and passwords in the displayed member ID number/password entry picture at step P32 by operating their computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N. At this time, the auction server 40 compares the member ID numbers and passwords of the job hunters entered in the above manner with those previously registered in a job hunter database, respectively, and then displays a bidding picture on the computer terminals 10-1 ~ 10-N of the job hunters if the entered member ID numbers and passwords are the same as those previously registered in the job hunter database .
Subsequently, the job hunters register their bidding information such as desired bidding prices, requirement acceptances or rejections, etc. in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 10-1 — 10-N at step P33.
Thereafter, the auction server 40 determines at step P34 whether the current date and time have reached a given job offer auction closing date and time. If the current date and time have not reached the given job offer auction closing date and time at step P34, then the auction server 40 returns to the above step P31 to allow a large number of job hunters to register their bidding information. To the contrary, if the current date and time have reached the given job offer auction closing date and time at step P34, then the auction server 40 proceeds to step P4 in Fig. 6.
At step P4 in Fig. 6, the job offerers determine successful bidders among the above job hunters on the basis of the bidding information registered in the above manner using their computer terminals 20-1 —20-N.
That is, as shown in Fig. 9, first, the auction server 40 determines a plurality of preliminary successful bidders among the above job hunters on the basis of the registered bidding information and displays a successful bidder selection picture on the computer terminals 20-1 ~ 20-N of the job offerers. At step P42, the job offerers determine final successful bidders among the preliminary successful bidders on the basis of the bidding information (situation-wanted conditions) registered by the preliminary successful bidders and enter the determined results in the auction server 40 using their computer terminals 20- 1 - 20-N.
Then, at step P5 in Fig. 6, the auction server 40 notifies the final successful bidders entered by the computer terminals 20-1 — 20-N of the job offerers through the E-mail server 50 that they have successfully bidden.
Industrial Applicability
As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, a job offerer can bid for situation-wanted information registered by a job hunter to engage the job hunter as an employee or the job hunter can bid for help- wanted information registered by the job offerer to look for a job therefrom. Therefore, the job hunter and job offerer can have wide opportunities to look for a job and offer a job, respectively, and be further provided respectively with the help- wanted information and situation-wanted information in real time. Although the preferred embodiments of the present invention have been disclosed for illustrative purposes, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, additions and substitutions are possible, without departing from the scope and spirit of the invention as disclosed in the accompanying claims.
