Abstract
Selecting candidates from a set of candidates by receiving a set of input parameters about a single aspect of the candidates and applying multiple scoring methods to those input parameters to compute a candidate score via each scoring method. A subset of zero or more candidates is then selected from the set of candidates by applying one or more selection criteria to the set of scores. There is not necessarily a value for every input parameter of every candidate.
