Artificial Intelligence for the Unemployed
This story is from the category Business
Date posted: 17/10/2009
Could a mathematical formula cause a big leap forward in the job search? The New York State Department of Labor thinks so. It's testing an algorithm it hopes will do much better than ordinary job boards at finding work for the unemployed.
Matt Sigelman is the CEO of Burning Glass, the Boston firm that developed the algorithm that the Department of Labor is using. Sigelman says his program looks at phrases and paragraphs in a person's resume, not just keywords. The software has been used by companies like Coca Cola and Accenture to select resumes from pools of applicants. Now it's being applied in the reverse way - to help applicants land on the right desk.
