Abstract
The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing a query for a ranking of candidates for an opportunity. During operation, the system obtains a set of parameters associated with a query for a ranking of candidates for an opportunity, wherein the set of parameters include a candidate, the opportunity, and a ranking category. Next, the system uses the set of parameters to obtain a set of pre-computed scores for use in generating the ranking and determine a number of online scores required to complete the ranking. The system then generates a set of calls to produce the determined number of the online scores. Finally, the system uses the pre-computed scores and the online scores to generate a result of the query.
