Solution Overview

Problem

Existing job recommendation systems fail to effectively match new graduates and career changers with suitable job opportunities due to their lack of prior experience, as they primarily rely on keyword matching and do not provide personalized guidance for skill development.

Innovation Solution

A system and method that utilizes logic and machine learning processes to recommend actions and skills to job seekers based on their individual data, including education, experience, and career objectives, to enhance their employability and match them with better-suited job openings.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If keyword matching is used to match job seekers with job openings, then the matching process is simple and fast, but new graduates and career changers without prior experience cannot be effectively matched with suitable jobs

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching speedVSAvoidmatching accuracy for inexperienced candidates
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSReliability

Solution Approach 1:

The system changes the matching parameters from traditional keyword-based experience requirements to skill-based and potential-based parameters. It evaluates candidates on transferable skills, learning potential, educational background, and career objectives rather than requiring direct work experience, thereby enabling accurate matching for new graduates and career changers while maintaining efficiency

Inventive Principle:
Principle #35Parameter changes

Solution Approach 2:

The system segments the job matching process into multiple independent evaluation components: skill assessment, potential evaluation, educational background analysis, and career objective matching. This segmentation allows each aspect to be evaluated separately and combined to form a comprehensive match score, improving accuracy for candidates without traditional experience

Inventive Principle:
Principle #1Segmentation

2Device complexity

If traditional job recommendation systems are used, then the system complexity is low, but personalized guidance for skill development is not provided

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvesystem complexityVSAvoidpersonalized skill development guidance
Core Design Contradiction:
Device complexityVSAdaptability or versatility

Solution Approach 1:

The system implements feedback loops where candidates receive personalized recommendations for skill development based on their current profile and target job requirements. The system continuously monitors candidate progress, updates their skill profiles, and adjusts recommendations accordingly, creating an adaptive guidance system that evolves with the candidate's development

Inventive Principle:
Principle #23Feedback

Solution Approach 2:

The system performs preliminary analysis of candidate profiles, identifies skill gaps before job matching, and provides advance guidance on what skills to develop. This preliminary action enables candidates to prepare in advance, improving their employability before they even apply for jobs

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action
