Careers website VERCIDA has announced a new partnership with Irish data science firm Opening.io, to provide a world-first job-matching service using artificial intelligence.
The new technology uses intuitive searching to help people find work that suits their skills and profile. It allows candidates to directly upload their CV to the VERCIDA site, then see suitable vacancies seamlessly matched to them.
This is possible because Opening.io’s technology uses deep learning to understand both the skills and knowledge that candidates bring - as well as the needs of the industries they may work in.
It first reads a candidate’s CV to establish their experience, then whether they fit with any currently available vacancies. Finally, it marries this up with what it already knows about different industries and opportunities to find the perfect match between jobseeker and employer.
VERCIDA’s Morgan Lobb explained: “We’re convinced that this global-first service will bring huge value and opportunities for our jobseekers.
“The technology is innovative, and the goal is brilliant - we want to match people with great jobs that allow them to be successful and well. Harnessing data science is an important next step for us in providing practical, useable and intelligent services for employers and jobseekers alike.”
