Learning to Match Job Candidates Using Multilingual Bi-Encoder BERT (2109.07157v1)

Abstract: In this talk, we will show how we used Randstad history of candidate placements to generate labeled CV-vacancy pairs dataset. Afterwards we fine-tune a multilingual BERT with bi encoder structure over this dataset, by adding a cosine similarity log loss layer. We will explain how using the mentioned structure helps us overcome most of the challenges described above, and how it enables us to build a maintainable and scalable pipeline to match CVs and vacancies. In addition, we show how we gain a better semantic understanding, and learn to bridge the vocabulary gap. Finally, we highlight how multilingual transformers help us handle cross language barrier and might reduce discrimination.
