Claim 14:
15. A computer system-implemented method for network search and personalization of employment search results and search result rankings, the computer system comprising a network input and output interface, at least one data storage device, and one or more processors coupled to the at least one data storage device and to the network input and output interface, the method comprising:
using the network input and output interface, receiving at least one query from an employment candidate as respondent or a potential employer as a co-respondent via the network, the at least one query pertaining to employment;
in response to the at least one query, using the one or more processors, accessing the at least one data storage device and selecting a plurality of return queries pertaining to one or more characteristics or features of an employment position, and at least one return query of the plurality of return queries pertaining to a commute time or access to transportation;
using the network input and output interface, transmitting the plurality of return queries to the respondent or co-respondent via the network;
using the network input and output interface, receiving a plurality of responses to the return queries from the respondent or co-respondent via the network;
using the one or more processors, searching the at least one data storage device for corresponding pluralities of responses to the plurality of return queries from one or more co-respondents or respondents, respectively;
using the one or more processors, comparatively pair-wise scoring the plurality of responses to the plurality of return queries against the corresponding pluralities of responses to the plurality of return queries and generating a plurality of pair-wise alignment scores for a plurality of respondent and co-respondent combinations;
using the one or more processors, sorting and ranking the plurality of respondent and co-respondent combinations according to the plurality of pair-wise alignment scores;
using the one or more processors, from the sorted and ranked plurality of respondent and co-respondent combinations, generating the personalized employment search results and search result rankings, the personalized employment search results and search result rankings comprising one or more identifications of sorted and ranked respondents or co-respondents for the co-respondent or respondent, respectively; and
using the network input and output interface, transmitting the personalized employment search results and search result rankings.
