Trends in Jobboard technology
                 (recruiting)
•   Mobile, tablets
•   Apps as entry point
•   Big Data and next-generation Analytics
•   Video
•   Semantics
•   Matching
•   Social media
JOBBOARD 0.0
Jobboard 0.0

• No semantics – non relevant
  searches

• The famous ‘manager’ agents.

• Limited information to be
  searched
JOBBOARD 1.0
Jobboard 1.0

• The overstructuring of information
  : too many search fields and too
  many selection lists.

• The engineering driven matching :
  weights, weights and weights.

• ‘how to make good candidates
  afraid’
JOBBOARD 2.0
Jobboard 2.0

• What – where boxes….. Semantics?

• Matching but limited criteria – no
  meaning

• Easy registration – upload, parse get
  found

• Semantics? Do the ‘business
  developer’ test !
JOBBOARD 3.0
Jobboard 3.0

• Faster and better – more relevant

• Faster and better – good quality

• Faster and better - fragmented view over the
  internet.
Surprising terminology

• 0.0, 1.0, 2.0 …. Semantics was always used…

• Matching, the magic word with thousands of
  misleading meanings…

• ‘Nearly’ …..technology promise.
What does semantics really mean?
• Semantics is all about meaning and context : more than
  structuring in work experience, skills etc… And…. more than
  large sets of taxonomies…

• Interpreting information and adding meta data –
  latent/implicit information.

• More than the traditional hard criteria.

• Meaningful links to other information
Why semantic matching : drivers?
• New generation candidates: more than only jobtitles.

• myskills, mytalent, mypreferences,…

• More relevant information available in richer candidate
  profiles – unstructured!

• Recruiters see their added value as ‘more than searching’
Why semantic matching works (now)!

• No longer 5 criteria with weights…

• No longer a trigger on words (such as jobtitles) but also on
  related words in their context e.g. ‘graphik designer’ and
  ‘graphics’

• Implicit information part of the matching model.

• Broader view on the candidate’s profile
The matching – internet world

                                                History : CV
• Candidate profile : patchwork
  of partial views on me, on
  different media.
                                  Talent : ……
                                                My total       Professional
                                                                : LinkedIN
• Linking information of                        profile
  profiles across the different
  media.
                                                 Personal :
                                                Facebook,…
• Linking history with interest
It will happen !
• Better profiles, more information and spread across the
  internet = increased need to ‘search faster’ – match!

• Candidates know better what they want.

• Technology now really ‘understands’….
