An electronic interview auction method for auctioning an interview for a
job, wherein the auction is conducted using at least an auctioneer's
computer and one or more bidders' computers communicating electronically
over a network, wherein a client may be the auctioneer, or the client and
auctioneer may be separate. The method contemplates establishing criteria
for the auction and storing the criteria on the auctioneer's computer,
allowing potential bidders to access the stored criteria from a bidder's
computer by electronic communication with the auctioneer's computer,
storing in the auctioneer's computer submitted bid information, including
relevant job-related information and a monetary bid, automatically
selecting one or more winning bids based on the stored monetary bids, and
allowing the user to select other bids with monetary values less than the
monetary value of the highest bid.
