Automated Semantic Search: Proceed with Caution

Posted at July 21, 2009

There are many software vendors who offer solutions to HR, recruiting, and sourcing organizations that claim to have automated candidate search and match capability. These applications can take your search, a job description, or an example resume and claim to leverage semantic search, fuzzy logic and/or Artificial Intelligence search technology to return relevant results. 
I’ve had the opportunity to use [...]

Maximizing Your E-Sourcing Efforts

Posted at April 13, 2009

The proper use of technology in the sourcing and recruiting process should increase your efficiency, productivity, and effectiveness.  I’ve created the SlideShare presentation below to cover a number of [...]

Semantic Search for Recruiters: Manual vs. Automated

Posted at April 1, 2009

Semantic search has been a hot topic in Internet search for a number of years now and it continues to generate quite the buzz. For example, Google just recently rolled out semantic search capability. However, when I talk about semantic search, I’m not referring to the semantic web or “web 3.0.”
I’m not so excited about [...]

Extended Boolean: Proximity and Weighting

Posted at November 10, 2008

Most sourcing, recruiting, and staffing professionals are familiar with the “standard” Boolean operators of AND, OR, and NOT. However, I have found that few are familiar with “extended” Boolean functionality, such as proximity (or adjacency) and term weighting.
Beyond Basic Boolean
Extended Boolean offers sourcers and recruiters significantly more control, power and precision when executing searches, and [...]
