Abstract

We describe a recruitment support system aiming to help recruiters in finding candidates who are likely to be interested in a given job offer. We present the architecture of that system and explain roles of its main modules. We also give examples of analytical processes supported by the system. In the paper, we focus on a data processing chain that utilizes domain knowledge for the extraction of meaningful features representing pairs of candidates and offers. Moreover, we discuss the usage of a word2vec model for finding concise vector representations of the offers, based on their short textual descriptions. Finally, we present results of an empirical evaluation of our system.
