Reserach Motivation
- To verify reliability of human resource in social network.
→ How to fully utilize social networks when searching for a target (e.g. roommates, co-workers...)?

Trust Model
- User A will announce a recruitment notice.
- User B, a node indirectly connected to the user A, will apply for the position through sending a message.
- The system will build the path between the user and the target and deliver the message.
- Users/nodes between user A and user B will judge whether the message should be delivered to the next node or not, if user B is reliable for the position.
- If user A receives the message, user A will make a final decision on the recruitment.
