PyCon Pune 2017

How can we create a resume ranking engine based purely on job descriptions on job boards? Can I create recommendations purely based on the skillset & job role? How do I use natural language processing techniques to create valid recommendations of related skillsets? For example, how can I recommend “AngularJS” to an HTML developer who wants to prop up his CV? The other challenge lies in dealing with multilingualism - from English & Dutch job boards?

This talk will showcase how a recommendation engine can be built with job descriptions using a state-of-the-art technique - word2vec. We will create something that not only matches the existing recommender systems deployed by job websites, but goes one step ahead - ranking & scoring a resume from its content. The beauty of such a framework is that not only does it support online learning, but is also not too sensitive to language differences.

How do we account for the proper skillsets and build it in our ranking systems? The talk will answer these questions and showcase effectiveness of such a resume ranking engine.
