Multiple search

The New York Times has published a Google Answer to Filling Jobs Is an Algorithm (also available here ) telling how Google is trying not to drown in about 100,000 resumes submitted monthly for vacant positions. In addition to expanding the online application form, which is now requesting more information about the candidate, it also reports on the introduction of special algorithms that evaluate each job application and assign a matching coefficient from 0 to 100 to each such application.

By converting each application to an abstract number (a sort of ranking function), it’s easy to connect the usual search that Gogle already has. Thus, it will be easy for Google to make individual search engines for all vacancies in the world, as well as for similar services: dating site profiles, buying / selling / renting real estate, etc., where a multi-criteria search is required ... Perhaps sometime this will appear soon, these niches obviously cash :)
