Solution Overview

Problem

Conventional talent and opportunity management systems are inadequate for identifying and communicating non-traditional job and experience opportunities between entities providing non-traditional work and individuals with non-traditional skill sets, such as social media influencers, as they are limited to traditional credential-based systems, excluding those without traditional degrees, licenses, or employment histories.

Innovation Solution

A system utilizing artificial intelligence and machine learning to create user and function profiles, enabling unique pairings between users and entities through an interactive interface, allowing individuals to showcase non-traditional skills and entities to offer virtual and digital opportunities, thereby facilitating access to non-traditional job and experience opportunities.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Adaptability or versatility

If conventional talent and opportunity management systems are used, then traditional credential-based matching is maintained, but non-traditional skill sets and opportunities cannot be effectively identified and communicated

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveability to identify non-traditional skill setsVSAvoidnon-traditional opportunities invisible to system
Core Design Contradiction:
Adaptability or versatilityVSLoss of information

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the parameters of talent identification from traditional credentials (degrees, licenses) to alternative indicators (portfolio projects, social media presence, skill demonstrations). This allows the system to adapt to non-traditional skill sets while maintaining effective matching capabilities.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the talent identification process into multiple independent evaluation criteria: traditional credentials, portfolio projects, social media profiles, and skill assessments. This segmentation allows non-traditional candidates to be evaluated on alternative criteria that do not require traditional credentials.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Ease of operation

If traditional job boards and corporate listings are used, then established employment channels are maintained, but individuals without traditional credentials cannot access non-traditional opportunities

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccess to job opportunitiesVSAvoidinclusion of non-traditional candidates
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of operationVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system creates a universal platform that serves multiple functions: traditional job posting, portfolio showcase, social media integration, and skill assessment. This multi-functional approach allows both traditional and non-traditional candidates to access opportunities through a single system.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #6Universality (Multi-functionality)

Solution Approach 2:

The system introduces an intermediary AI matching layer between job postings and candidates. This intermediary evaluates candidates based on multiple criteria including non-traditional credentials and automatically matches them with suitable opportunities, bridging the gap between traditional job boards and non-traditional talent.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

3Measurement precision

If AI and machine learning are implemented for profile-based matching, then non-traditional skill sets can be effectively matched, but system complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of skill-set matchingVSAvoidsystem architecture complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The AI system automatically collects and processes candidate data from multiple sources (portfolios, social media, skill assessments) without requiring manual intervention. The machine learning models self-train on accumulated data to improve matching accuracy over time, reducing the need for complex manual configuration.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

Solution Approach 2:

The system implements feedback loops where matching outcomes are continuously evaluated and used to refine the AI algorithms. Successful matches provide positive feedback that strengthens the underlying models, while unsuccessful matches trigger re-evaluation and adjustment of matching criteria, improving precision without proportionally increasing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

AI summary

A user device may generate a user profile indicating a plurality of user elements. The user device may select a function of a plurality of functions. Based on a selection of the function, an interactive indication of a required element for the function that is missing from the plurality of user elements may be displayed. Instruction for adding the required element to the plurality of user elements may be received based on an interaction with the interactive indication of the required element. The user profile may be updated based on an indication that the required element is added to the plurality of user elements. Based on the updated user profile, a request to execute the function may be sent. For example, a request to execute the function may be sent to a device, an entity, and/or a system associated with and/or providing the function.
