  • Patent number: 8265977
    Abstract: An automated employee selection system can use a variety of techniques to provide information for assisting in selection of employees. For example, pre-hire and post-hire information can be collected electronically and used to build an artificial-intelligence based model. The model can then be used to predict a desired job performance criterion (e.g., tenure, number of accidents, sales level, or the like) for new applicants. A wide variety of features can be supported, such as electronic reporting. Pre-hire information identified as ineffective can be removed from a collected pre-hire information. For example, ineffective questions can be identified and removed from a job application. New items can be added and their effectiveness tested. As a result, a system can exhibit adaptive learning and maintain or increase effectiveness even under changing conditions.

  • Patent number: 7555441
    Abstract: A variety of technologies are applied to conceptualization of job candidate information. For example, concepts can be extracted from a job candidate's resume via an ontology. Concepts can be arranged hierarchically within the ontology, and parent concepts can be extracted. Concepts relating to job skills, job title, management, and the like can be extracted. A set of concepts can be represented as a point in n-dimensional concept space. Thus, candidates and desired candidate criteria can be represented in the concept space. Those candidates closest to the desired candidate criteria in the concept space can be designated as matches for the desired candidate criteria.

  • Patent number: 7472097
    Abstract: A plurality of neural networks or other models can be used in employee selection technologies. A hiring recommendation can be based at least on processing performed by a plurality of neural networks. For example, parallel or series processing by neural networks can be performed. A neural network can be coupled to one or more other neural networks. A binary or other n-ary output can be generated by one or more of the neural networks. In a series arrangement, candidates can be processed sequentially in multiple stages, and those surviving the stages are recommended for hire.
