| Abstract: | One of the common problem faced by the recruiters of Information Technology and Communication industry is difficult to select suitable candidates from the number of resumes received. Firstly, it is a time consuming task for screening a lot of unstructured format resumes. Secondly, since the skill terms and knowledge in this industry change frequently, given that there is no perfect candidate who fulfill all the requirements, it is difficult for recruiter to select candidate who has related knowledge and skill. Job Matcher was designed as an intelligent recommender to recommend suitable candidates for recruiters by analyzing the unstructured data of job post and resumes in a cost effective way. It calculates the similarity between each job post and resumes semantically with the pre-built ontology as the common vocabulary. This ontology-based information system provides a more flexible query than the traditional keyword-based approach. Two domain experts tested the precision rate of Job Matcher by ranking a same set of resumes in term of the candidates' suitability to a job. The result showed that Job Matcher can recommend suitable candidates in an acceptable level, however, it failed to generate a very precise result as the domain experts ranked. Other factors, such as previous working experience, expected salary and notice period, affected the precision rate had been discussed. Some valuable lesson learned and future works were suggested for the next development. |
