           What is the problem with
           existing search solutions?

Existing search solutions : the problem

 Also tired of getting the following results while searching…….
 Example of a commonly used search query……..

Existing search solutions : the problem


     search is based on simple boolean logic : combining keywords and
    searching for these keywords.

     context is not taken into account. In our example : business ‘and’
    developer is getting a specific meaning….. The results simply show the
    combination of the two but not the meaning of the combination. (business
    developer is totally different than a ‘business objects developer’….)

     existing solutions make no difference between words that have a different
    meaning depending on the context in which these are used …… ‘architect’
    and ‘software architect’,….

 Typical search queries consist of : jobtitles (functions), skills, locations,
educations, human interst fields, industries or specializations….. or a combination
of the above.

E.g. ‘junior brand manager with experience in the banking sector living in London’

 Actonomy xMP smart match + is targeting these search applications but
allowing users to type in their request in a human way : e.g. ‘we need an account
manager living in London with…..’. In other words short descriptions of what
people need.

 The goal of xMP smart match + is :
    • to deliver better results both to recruiter and candidate
    • no ambiguity in results
    • easy input, no cumbersome boolean operators required

  How does it work?




 (search box as used by www.vacature.com)




  the input string is analysed and the system recognizes what the user is looking
 for :
        • jobtitles or functions : ‘business developer’ in the example
        • industry or experience : ‘banking’ in the example
        • location : ‘gent’ in the example

 The results :




 score is based on relevance for the query. Results that only partially match on
the request will rank lower.

 all jobtitles with a similar meaning will appear in the result list.

How does it work?

     xMP smart match + detects the different concepts : jobtitles,
    experience(skills), eduction, location, experience level (junior,…), companies
    worked for, industry,…
     No need to add boolean operators.
     concepts such as jobtitles are automatically expanded with synonyms and
    related concepts.
     jobtitles and skills (experiences) that are typically used in the same context
    are also combined in the background. Example : ‘java software developer’ is
    also a ‘software developer’ with experience in ‘java’. The system will search
    for all possible combinations in the relevant context.

How does it work?

     Example : search for ‘client reporting analyst’
         • the system will get results (e.g. CVs) with ‘client reporting analyst’ as
         work experience.
         • the system will also get results with experience in ‘reporting’ if a ‘client
         analyst’ is found. Both are found in a relevant context and have the same
         meaning as a ‘client reporting analyst’.

Actonomy xMP smart match +

xMP smart match + :

      will recognise what the user is looking for (understands that something is a
     jobtitle, a skill, an education,….)

      will search for all concepts that have a similar meaning and not only for the
     exact ‘wording’.

      will execute the search within the context, domain or industry as specified
     by the user. (account manager banking,….)

      will automatically expand the search query with related concepts such as
     jobtitles that are in the same careercluster, require the same skills,….

Actonomy xMP smart match +

xMP smart match + :

      location will be treated as a fuzzy value i.e. a radial search will be included
     in the background. Based on location and/or postal code, the closest match
     will be calculated.

      jobtitles will be expanded with :

         • jobtitles with the same job content (synonyms)
         • jobtitles that are in the same career space;
         • jobtitles that have similar skills;
         • jobtitles that express a typical careerpath

xMP smart match + :

      results are ranked based on relevance;

      relevance is configured based on the client specific requirements. E.g. Work
     experience is more important than skills, location is preferred but not
     essential,…

      compatible with any customer specific data storage (through HR-XML
     mapping)
