Actonomy: search and match tools for job board developers

Actonomy search & match : "what does it mean to me, as a job board?"

The ideal model for a job board would be that a candidate could just upload his CV as an unstructured document, and find jobs automatically..

However, real life is different..

Unstructured documents can be analysed and the data can be extracted and turned into structured data. On that data the job board should be able to match.

But what if the text extraction misses out data? And what if a candidate has used other words in the CV than those you are looking for...??

Actonomy has a brilliant solution: the xMP HR Knowledge Base!
This knowledge base contains more than 50.000 relations between concepts of functions, title, skills,.., automatically expanding the queries recruiters perform in the job board. Also candidates' searching is supported by the Knowledge Base. This way, also candidates get more relevant results when searching for jobs.

Candidates want the freedom to look for new opportunities based on their current preferences, not only on their CV !

Ones CV shows history, which is not always representing what candidates are looking for in their new job. Candidates can therefore easily search through your job board by typing in the keywords they're interested in. The system will automatically look for the keywords, and by adding artificial intelligence it will find jobs matching his keywords in the right context.

Depending on the context in which the words appear, the system will automatically rank the results. As candidates don't spend hours looking for a job, the time they win is appreciated very much.
Often jobs are missed when candidates search for other words than exactly those words recruiters used in the vacancy.

A good search system will automatically look for words which are related to the initial words, and thus improve the hit rate of the searches. When a job is in the job board, candidates should not miss it just because it is differently described. xMP has the intelligence (knowledge base) to ensure no offers are missed. Example: candidates looking for a job as a 'Tree Surgeon', don't need to wonder if they also need to search for 'Arborist', 'Tree Surgeon' or 'Arboriculture Job'. The system will do this for him.
Candidates like to find jobs close at home.

As most job boards still work with crisp figures, or ranges (from .. to..), often jobs are missed because the distance is just outside their search scope. xMP can be configured to search fuzzy, meaning that numbers (distances, years of experience, salary, etc) and ranges will be searched for, and the further the results are out of the searched range, the lower they will appear in the results ranking. No need to search 'over and over again'.
Recruiters like systems which understand what they are looking for and which learn from the way they search.

They don’t like to do everything over and over again in order to find good candidates. Actonomy xMP is storing the search pattern (the different words that one is using one after the other to come to good results) and is using that to offer faster and better results.

Outstanding quality equals more visitors equals more revenue streams !

Job offers that really meet the requirements of a jobseeker; candidates that match the job description. The better the service gets, the more job postings. More visitors also means more advertising revenues for the job board owner.
Outstanding quality is described as:
- easy to analyse results,
- fast results
- no missed opportunities
- easy to use

It happens more and more that recruiters don't find the candidate they're looking for, even knowing the candidate IS in the job boards' database..

Offering this type of service demands the best intuitive system, which guides the candidate through his search:
Searching for a new job is for many candidates often searching for change compared to the current position . Candidates want more challenge, a higher job satisfaction or simply a next step in their career. Making an optimal choice requires ‘guidance’ just like a recruiter helping you making the right choice.

Actonomy xMP was built to help candidates and guide them through the different options. It does not simply search through the history of your CV but it takes into account much more information to guide you towards an ideal choice of jobs.

And last but not least: candidates and recruiters hate slow sites and slow response times! Actonomy xMP is very fast in delivering high quality results and is scalable even for high volumes of users. Searches withinh thousands or millions of CV's are done in just a few seconds time. And the results come with indicators explaining why the results are offered.

We hate to wait, and so should you. ALL ABOARD !
