Copyright (c) 2013 RDI Labs 2
JOB MATCHING SYSTEMS ARE CRITICALLY IMPORTANT INTODAY’S JOB MARKET, BUT . . .
There are 12 million unemployed peopleThere are 4.8 million online job postingsAnd, 1.6 million of these jobs remain unfilled because of jobmatching system limitationsBottom line: Existing job matching systems do a poor job of
matching candidates and jobs

WHAT’S WRONG WITH EXISTING JOB MATCHING SYSTEMS?
Binary Booleansearch logic • Only jobs/candidates that exactly meet all search/filter criteriaare included in resultsNo preference • Unable to indicate or understand user-defined preference – likeSeattle is preferred over Tacoma
No importanceweighting • Unable to express or understand user-defined importanceweighting - like skills are more important than educationNo true ranking • All results are of equal value requiring time-consuming humanreviewNo feedback ortuning • No visual cues or indications about why items are found or howto explore results to improve search quality
No bidirectionalmatching • Job and candidate search and filtering are handledindependently rather than bidirectionallyCopyright (c) 2013 RDI Labs 4
