1. An apparatus, comprising:
a first user communication device, wherein the first user communication device is associated with an individual;
a second user communication device, wherein the second user communication device is associated with a first employer or a first hiring entity or is associated with a second employer or a second hiring entity;
a central processing computer, wherein the central processing computer provides or transmits an electronic forum to the first user communication device; and
a distributed ledger and blockchain technology system,
wherein the central processing computer transmits the electronic forum to the first user communication device, wherein the electronic forum facilitates a first job searching activity, a first project searching activity, or a first assignment searching activity, and further wherein the electronic forum facilitates a submission of a first application for a first job, a first project, or a first assignment, with the first employer or the first hiring entity, and further wherein the electronic forum displays information regarding the first application for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, wherein the information regarding the first application for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, includes information regarding a date of application, a date of consideration, feedback from the first employer or the first hiring entity, a decision, or a date of a decision,
wherein the central processing computer receives a request to perform a job searching activity or a project searching activity for a second job, a second project, or a second assignment, wherein the request is transmitted from the first user communication device, and further wherein, in response to the request, the central processing computer generates a search report and transmits the search report to the first user communication device, wherein the search report is displayed at the first user communication device via the electronic forum, wherein the search report contains information regarding a second job, a second project, or a second assignment, with the second employer or the second hiring entity,
wherein the central processing computer facilitates a submission of a second application for the second job, the second project, or the second assignment, with the second employer or the second hiring entity,
wherein the central processing computer facilitates or provides a videoconference call between the first user communication device and the second user communication device, and further wherein the first user communication device, the second user communication device, or the central processing computer, records the videoconference call as a digital recording, and further wherein the apparatus translates an audio conversation between the individual and a second individual during the videoconference call into a written transcript, wherein the second individual is, or is associated with, the first employer or the first hiring entity or the second employer or the second hiring entity, wherein the central processing computer stores the digital recording and the written transcript,
wherein the central processing computer generates an electronic forum report containing information regarding an activity or activities of the individual in or during the electronic forum, and further wherein the electronic forum report is stored in the distributed ledger and blockchain technology system,
wherein the central processing computer generates a videoconference call summary message, wherein the videoconference call summary message includes information regarding a date and time of the videoconference call, information regarding the videoconference call, information regarding, or a link or a hyperlink to, the digital recording, and information regarding, or a link or a hyperlink to the written transcript, and further wherein the apparatus stores the videoconference call summary message in the central processing computer and in the distributed ledger and blockchain technology system,
and further wherein the first user communication device receives a status message transmitted from the second user communication device or from a third user communication device, wherein the third user communication device is associated with the first employer or the first hiring entity or is associated with the second employer or the second hiring entity, wherein the status message contains information indicating that the first application has been received, information indicating that the first application has been reviewed, information indicating that the first application has been referred for further consideration, information regarding a name or position of a person who has reviewed, is reviewing, or will be reviewing, the first application, or information regarding a decision to hire the individual for the first job, the first project, or the first assignment, or wherein the status message contains information indicating that the second application has been received, information indicating that the second application has been reviewed, information indicating that the second application has been referred for further consideration, information regarding a name or position of a person who has reviewed, is reviewing, or will be reviewing, the second application, or information regarding a decision to hire the individual for the second job, the second project, or the second assignment,
and further wherein the status message contains a link or a hyperlink to the electronic forum, and further wherein the central processing computer generates a job alert message or a project alert message, wherein the job alert message or the project alert message contains information regarding a third job, a third project, or a third assignment, and further wherein the job alert message or the project alert message contains a link or a hyperlink to the electronic forum,
and further wherein the central processing computer receives and processes information regarding a candidate search performed by the first employer or the first hiring entity, by the second employer or the second hiring entity, or by a third employer or a third hiring entity, wherein information regarding the candidate search is entered via the electronic forum, and further wherein the central processing computer generates a candidate search report, and further wherein the central processing computer transmits the candidate search report to the second user communication device, the third user communication device, or a fourth user communication device, wherein the fourth user communication device is associated with the third employer or the third hiring entity.
