Solution Overview

Problem

Current methods for entity classification, such as hiring processes, are prone to errors, subjective, and resource-intensive, especially when dealing with large volumes of resumes, as they rely on manual processing and lack efficient algorithms to accurately identify qualified candidates.

Innovation Solution

An analytics platform uses machine learning techniques to receive information about job requirements, identifies priority and ancillary terms from positive and negative entity data, generates models, and determines classification scores for unclassified entities, thereby improving the accuracy and efficiency of the classification process.
