A system and method for matching candidates with personnel needs is provided. The system accepts both candidate attributes and personnel need attributes. At least one algorithm is utilized to match candidates with personnel needs. Feedback is solicited from both candidates and personnel searchers at various stages throughout a matching process. Based on this feedback, the system may modify at least one algorithm, and/or, in a system that utilizes a plurality of algorithms, modify at least one weight given to the results of at least one of the algorithms. The candidate attributes and personnel need attributes are also modified based on the feedback. Revised candidate lists and/or personnel need lists are provided based on the revised algorithms.
