Solution Overview

Problem

The challenge in the labor market is efficiently matching job candidates with suitable job openings, particularly in short-term employment contexts, where determining the best job presentations for candidates and identifying suitable candidates for positions is difficult, leading to inefficiencies and suboptimal placements.

Innovation Solution

A system employing machine learning models to rank job requisitions and candidates based on historical data, predicting the likelihood of job offers and candidate success, and optimizing matching processes to maximize efficiency and fulfillment by using historical requisition-outcome and candidate-outcome data.

Engineering Contradictions & Design Principles

VSEngineering Contradiction Analysis

1Productivity

If traditional matching methods are used to pair candidates with job openings, then the process is simple to implement, but the matching efficiency and placement quality deteriorate

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching efficiencyVSAvoidsystem complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ProductivityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent replaces traditional mechanical/manual matching methods with an automated machine learning system. The ML model processes candidate profiles, job requisitions, and historical outcome data to automatically generate match scores and rankings, substituting human intuition and manual evaluation with algorithmic decision-making that improves efficiency while managing complexity through automated infrastructure.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #28Mechanics substitution (Replace mechanical system)

Solution Approach 2:

The patent introduces an intermediary machine learning system that acts as a mediator between candidates and job openings. This intermediary processes information from both sides, analyzes compatibility using historical data, and facilitates optimal pairings, thereby improving matching efficiency without requiring direct complex interactions between all candidates and all positions.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #24Intermediary (Mediator)

2Measurement precision

If more candidate-job pairings are analyzed to improve matching quality, then placement accuracy improves, but the time and computational resources required increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improvematching accuracyVSAvoidprocessing time
Core Design Contradiction:
Measurement precisionVSLoss of time

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies preliminary action by pre-processing and storing historical requisition-outcome data and candidate profiles in structured formats before actual matching occurs. The machine learning model is trained in advance on historical data to learn optimal matching patterns, so that during actual candidate-job pairing, the system can quickly retrieve and apply learned knowledge rather than analyzing all possible combinations in real-time, thus improving accuracy without excessive processing time.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #10Preliminary action

3Reliability

If historical data is extensively used to train the machine learning model, then the predictive accuracy improves, but the data processing complexity and computational cost increase

Engineering Contradiction:
Improveprediction reliabilityVSAvoiddata processing complexity
Core Design Contradiction:
ReliabilityVSDevice complexity

Solution Approach 1:

The patent applies the extraction principle by selectively extracting and isolating the most relevant features and patterns from extensive historical data for model training. Rather than processing all raw historical data uniformly, the system identifies and extracts key predictive features from requisition-outcome data and candidate profiles, feeding only the essential extracted information into the machine learning model, thereby improving prediction reliability while reducing data processing complexity.

Inventive Principle:
Principle #2Taking out (Extraction)

AI summary

Provided is a process including: determining, based on a machine learning model, a measure of outcome success for a set of job requisitions, the machine learning model trained to determine measures of outcome success for job requisitions based on a set of job requisition training data, and the set of job requisition training data comprising: a set of historical job requisitions; and job outcomes for the set of historical job requisitions; ranking, based on the measure of outcome success, the set of job requisitions to generate a ranked set of job requisitions; and providing, to a job candidate, one or more job requisitions of the ranked set of job requisitions for selection of a job requisition for application by the job candidate.
