Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer programs are presented for grouping job postings for presentation to a user in response to a search. A method includes determining the closest-matching groups of jobs for a user and presenting a display such that the closest-matching jobs are viewable within the groups. For each group, a server determines a group affinity based on a group characteristic and a user characteristic and affinities of jobs for that group based on the job postings and the group characteristic. The server ranks the groups for the user based on the group affinity score for each group, and ranks the job postings within each group based on the jobs affinity to the user. Some of the groups and job postings are presented to the user based on the ranking.
