Solution Overview

Problem

Position announcements often lack clear indications of desired experience, leading to candidates being presented with positions for which they are under or over qualified, resulting in inefficient searching and resource wastage.

Innovation Solution

The method involves increasing the dimensionality of data structures representing job positions by predicting desired experience using text-based classifiers and experience classifiers, which analyze job postings to identify patterns and relationships, and incorporate predicted experience into searchable fields, allowing for more accurate matching and filtering of job seekers.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Ease of manufacture

If position announcements lack clear indication of desired experience, then positions can be posted with minimal specification requirements, but candidates will be presented with positions for which they are under or over qualified

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveease of posting positionVSAvoidaccuracy of candidate-position matching
Core Design Contradiction:
Ease of manufactureVSMeasurement precision

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by automatically predicting desired experience levels and incorporating them into position data structures before candidates search. Text-based classifiers and experience classifiers analyze position information in advance, generate predicted experience requirements, and store them in searchable fields, so that accurate matching information is already prepared when candidates perform their searches.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

Solution Approach 2:

The system enables self-service by allowing the position database to automatically enrich itself with predicted experience information without manual intervention. The classifiers autonomously analyze position data, generate predictions, and update data structures, making the system self-improving and reducing the burden on users to provide detailed specifications.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #25Self-service

2Measurement precision

If candidates perform multiple searches to find suitable positions, then they can ensure qualified matches, but computing resources and network traffic are wasted

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of job matchesVSAvoidcomputing resource consumption
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of energy

Solution Approach 1:

The system performs preliminary action by pre-computing and storing predicted experience information in position data structures before searches occur. This advance preparation allows the database to quickly return accurate matches on the first search attempt, eliminating the need for candidates to perform multiple iterative searches and thereby conserving computing resources and reducing network traffic.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Measurement precision

If desired experience is predicted and incorporated into searchable fields, then search accuracy is improved, but data structure complexity increases

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveaccuracy of search resultsVSAvoiddata structure dimensionality
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The system applies dimensionality change by adding a new dimension to existing data structures. Instead of fundamentally redesigning the database schema, the patent incorporates predicted experience as an additional searchable field or attribute dimension within the existing position data structure, allowing accurate experience-based filtering while maintaining compatibility with current systems.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #17Another dimension (Dimensionality change)

AI summary

Methods, apparatus, systems, and computer-readable media are provided for increasing dimensionality of data structures associated with filling positions. In some implementations, a prediction of desired experience for a given position to be filled may be incorporated into a searchable field of the data structure. Among other things, increasing the dimensionality of the data structure may facilitate more granular searching of positions and guided creation of new positions to be filled. In some implementations, a predicted desired experience may be used to notify a user posting a new position whether a specified desired experience corresponds to a predicted desired experience.
