1. A method for ranking profile records comprising: receiving a search request from a user, wherein the search request includes a job title; obtaining a user profile associated with the user; generating a query based on the search request; issuing the query to a profile database; receiving search results in response to the query, wherein the search results comprise a plurality of profile records, and wherein each of the plurality of profile records comprises a plurality of action records and is associated with a potential job candidate; obtaining a network score for each of the plurality of profile records to obtain a plurality of network scores using the plurality of action records, wherein the network score for each of the plurality of profile records is generated based on at least one selected from a group consisting of a positive action and a negative action performed by other users on each of the plurality of profile records, wherein the positive action performed by the other users is one selected from a group consisting of scheduling a job interview and a positive interview evaluation, wherein the negative action performed by the other users is one selected from a group consisting of a negative interview evaluation and rejection of the potential job candidate associated with one of the plurality of profile records for the job; obtaining a user score for each of the plurality of profile records to obtain a plurality of user scores, wherein the user score for each of the plurality of profile records is generated based on at least one selected from a group consisting of a positive action and a negative action performed by the potential job candidate associated with each of the plurality of profile records, ranking the plurality of profile records using the plurality of user scores and the plurality of network scores to obtain ranked profile records; and transmitting the ranked profile records to the user.
