Abstract

A system, computer-readable medium, and method for automatically determining if an applicant is qualified to perform a task are provided. In the method, an application including applicant identifier information identifying an applicant is received by a computing device. The applicant identifier information is extracted from the received application. A query to a database including the extracted applicant identifier information is created and sent to a database system using a network. The database system stores data associated with the extracted applicant identifier information. A response to the query is received from the database system using the network. The response includes data associated with the applicant's qualification to perform a task. Whether or not the applicant is qualified to perform the task is determined by comparing the data associated with the applicant's qualification to a predetermined qualification criterion.
