Candidates and job matching

In the first place, ELISE Smart Search & Match looks at a jobseeker’s skills, competencies, experiences, and preferences. Then matches these to the available positions. And as a result, it shows how closely candidates meet the employer’s needs. Although based on technology, our matching software copies the human thought process. After comparing jobseekers with job openings, our matching technology next creates a list of ranked results. One glance at this list then shows the degree of similarity between the candidate and the job profile. As well as how the job match was calculated.

In other words, ELISE Smart Search & Match is fully transparent, helping those seeking work as well as those assisting them.

Value-based job matching

Our ELISE Smart Search & Match engine does not just bi-directionally match jobseekers with employers, but also factors in labor market knowledge and insights to further improve the results. We call this value-based matching. Notably, this AI-driven type of matching results in smarter, better fitting, and more sustainable matches between jobseekers and employers. WCC value-based matching technology, therefore, enables Public Employment Services to make significant advances in workforce development.

Coaching candidates to find the right job

The ELISE Smart Search & Match engine uses many advanced techniques to analyze data, and so provide useful insights. In addition, it delivers a range of tools that will assist all users:

Coaching candidates

• Employability Index
  measures the employability of a jobseeker in order to compare this with the current job pool.
• Skill and Competence Analysis
  help jobseekers to identify training opportunities, in order to advance their careers.
• Career Alternatives Search
  review jobseekers’ skills, and so identify new careers that require the same or similar skills.

Recruiters can analyze the job and candidate pools in real-time in order to determine a candidate’s employability. And in addition, can help candidates move to a new career.

Automating processes to reduce administrative effort

While helping jobseekers, ELISE Smart Search & Match also helps recruiters to reduce their administrative work. As much as possible it makes form-filling a thing of the past. Two points are especially important:

• ELISE Smart Search & Match parses resumés in order to extract relevant data
• ELISE Smart Search & Match automatically exports the data into individual properties used for job matching

Integration with social websites is the modern form of parsing. For this reason, our matching software is specifically designed to automatically monitor websites. And to extract any relevant data from vacancies too. Back-end systems are then refreshed when job postings are added, modified, or removed.

Job matching, around the clock

WCC matching software is designed to support 24×7 operations, so high availability is critical. In fact, the ELISE Smart Search & Match engine has been designed in order to avoid any single point of failure. Despite the need for such a robust design, ELISE Smart Search & Match delivers extremely high performance, achieved through innovative database design and optimized job matching. Its scalable architecture means that millions of records can be processed in fractions of a second.

However, high performance is not the only goal. ELISE Smart Search & Match supports dynamic scaling in order to handle changing demands. It can scale instantly in response to increases in data queries and user numbers. In particular, deploying ELISE Smart Search & Match in the cloud offers more cost-effective use of data center resources.

Ease of integration is also very important. Every effort has therefore been made to make this as easy as possible for our clients. We have versions of ELISE Smart Search & Match available for both Java and .NET, so it can be used as part of almost any IT infrastructure.
