A computer system and method for capture and handling job listings
obtained from various often unrelated corporate and job board postings
via the internet for examination by a job searcher. This system includes
a scraping module having one or more scraping engines operable to scrape
job information data set from job listings on the corporate career sites
and job boards, wherein the scraping module receives and stores the
scraped job information data set in a database. The system also has a
scraping management interface module coordinating operation of and
communication between the scraping engines and the career sites and job
boards, a scraped listing quality management module coupled to the
scraping management interface module analyzing selected scraped job
information data stored in the database, and a job categorization module
that examines and categorizes each job information stored in the database
into one or more of a predetermined set of categories and returns
categorized job information to the database, and an extractor module
communicating with the database for compiling and transferring
categorized job information data from the database to a search bank. The
search bank is then accessible by a job searcher through a job search
client server cluster connected to the Internet.
