Job search in a geo-spatial enviornment

1 . A method of conducting a job search, comprising:

obtaining candidate data corresponding to a job search profile;

determining a location associated with the job search profile based on the candidate data;

storing the job search profile in a candidate repository;

processing a search request from a user associated with the job search profile;

obtaining a search radius associated with the location from the user;

obtaining at least one employer profile based on the search radius; and

displaying the at least one employer profile to the user on a geo-spatial map.

2 . The method of claim 1 , further comprising:

obtaining a search parameter from the user; and

obtaining the at least one employer profile based on the search radius and the search parameter.

3 . The method of claim 2 , wherein the search parameter is at least one of a job category, a job type, a keyword, a salary range, an experience level, and an education level.

4 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the candidate data is at least one of a name, a resume, a cover letter, an experience level, an education level, and an employment preference.

5 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the search radius is at least one of a distance from the location and a commute time from the location.

6 . The method of claim 1 in a form of a machine-readable medium embodying a set of instructions that, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform the method of claim 1 .

7 . The method of claim 1 , wherein the location comprises a non-residential location.

8 . A community network, comprising:

a candidate repository comprising a plurality of job search profiles;

an employer repository comprising a plurality of employer profiles;

a geo-spatial repository comprising a plurality of locations on a geo-spatial map; and

process a search request from a first user associated with the one of the plurality of job search profiles;

obtain a first search radius associated with the first of the plurality of locations from the first user;

obtain at least one of the plurality of employer profiles based on the first search radius; and

display the at least one of the plurality of employer profiles to the first user on the geo-spatial map.

9 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the job management module is further configured to:

obtain a first search parameter from the first user; and

obtain the at least one of the plurality of employer profiles based on the first search radius and the first search parameter.

10 . The community network of claim 9 , wherein the first search parameter is at least one of a job category, a job type, a keyword, a salary range, an experience level, and an education level.

11 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the job management module is further configured to:

determine a second of the plurality of locations associated with one of the plurality of employer profiles;

process a search request from a second user associated with the one of the plurality of employer profiles;

obtain a second search radius associated with the second of the plurality of locations from the second user;

obtain at least one of the plurality of job search profiles based on the second search radius; and

display the at least one of the plurality of job search profiles to the second user on the geo-spatial map.

12 . The community network of claim 1 1 , wherein the job management module is further configured to:

obtain a second search parameter from the second user; and

obtain the at least one of the plurality of job search profiles based on the second search radius and the second search parameter.

13 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of employer profiles is at least one of an employer name, an employer description, a location, an education level, an experience level, a job title, a job description, a compensation, and a candidate preference.

14 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein each of the plurality of job search profiles is at least one of a name, a resume, a cover letter, an experience level, an education level, and an employment preference.

15 . The community network of claim 8 , wherein the first search radius is at least one of a distance from the location and a commute time from the first of the plurality of locations.

16 . A method of conducting a job candidate search, comprising:

obtaining employer data corresponding to an employer profile;

determining a location associated with the employer profile based on the employer data;

storing the employer profile in an employer repository;

processing a search request from a user associated with the employer profile;

obtaining a search radius associated with the location from the user;

obtaining at least one job search profile based on the search radius; and

displaying the at least one job search profile to the user on a geo-spatial map.

17 . The method of claim 16 , further comprising:

obtaining a search parameter from the user; and

obtaining the at least one job search profile based on the search radius and the search parameter.

18 . The method of claim 17 , wherein the search parameter is at least one of a job category, a job type, a keyword, a salary range, an experience level, and an education level.

19 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the employer data is at least one of an employer name, an employer description, a location, an education level, an experience level, a job title, a job description, a compensation, and a candidate preference.

20 . The method of claim 16 , wherein the search radius is at least one of a distance from the location and a commute time from the location.
