Part 1: Mission and Work Accomplished
As an internal AI consultant, my mission is to optimize the candidate-company matching process and transform recruitment into a data-driven experience. My key accomplishments include:
-
AI Recommendation Engine
- Designed an algorithm analyzing 200+ criteria (technical skills, soft skills, cultural compatibility) to match candidates with job offers.
- Integrated data from CVs, LinkedIn, technical assessments, and video evaluations.
-
Intelligent Pre-Screening Chatbots
- Developed conversational assistants (NLP) to qualify candidates via WhatsApp, SMS, and the website.
- Automated 80% of initial interactions, freeing up time for recruiters.
-
Predictive Retention Models
- Created a tool predicting the turnover risk of placed candidates, based on their profile and the company’s history.
-
Job Ad Optimization
- Used generative AI to improve job descriptions, making them more attractive and relevant.
Part 2: Work Methodology
To execute these projects, I followed a rigorous approach:
-
Data Collection and Unification
- Used Python (Pandas, BeautifulSoup) to aggregate data from CVs, LinkedIn profiles, and technical assessments.
- Collaborated with HR teams to define business needs.
-
AI Model Development
- Machine Learning (XGBoost, BERT) for candidate-job matching.
- LLM (GPT-4, Claude) for chatbots and job ad optimization.
- Sentiment Analysis to assess cultural compatibility.
-
Deployment and Training
- Integrated tools into the existing ATS (Applicant Tracking System).
- Trained recruiters to use AI dashboards effectively.
-
Continuous Improvement
- Monthly feedback loop to adjust models based on candidate/recruiter feedback.
- A/B testing to optimize the effectiveness of recommendations.
Part 3: Tangible Results (2023 – Present)
The AI solutions generated measurable results for Skill MarketPlace:
- 40% time savings on the sourcing process (thanks to chatbots and automated matching).
- 65% improvement in the matching rate (better candidate-job fit).
- 30% reduction in turnover of placed candidates (via predictive analysis).
- 25% increase in response rate to job ads optimized by AI.
Key Use Case:
