Publication number: 20250005533Abstract: According to various aspects, systems and methods are provided for tracking actions performed in various disparate talent platforms, and generating ratings for parties that use the talent platforms based on the tracked actions. Some embodiments provide objective ratings of hiring and staffing parties that are automatically determined based on stored data records of tracked actions. The hiring and staffing party ratings may build transparency of activity performed by the parties within the disparate talent platforms. This in turn builds trust among users of the online system.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: January 2, 2025Applicant: Scout Exchange LLCInventors: Igor M.

Publication number: 20240412126Abstract: According to various aspects, systems and methods are provided for automatically matching recruiters to job openings. The system may train one or more models that determine a measure of compatibility between a recruiter and a job opening. The system may train the model(s) using stored records of activity tracked by the system. The measure of compatibility may be used to determine whether a recruiter is likely to place a candidate for a job opening. Some embodiments provide a system that can collect objective data about recruiters and hiring parties, and use the objective data to train the model(s).Type: ApplicationFiled: June 12, 2024Publication date: December 12, 2024Applicant: Scout Exchange LLCInventors: Kenneth Lazarus, Igor M.

Publication number: 20240321002Abstract: Example aspects of the present disclosure are directed to computing systems and methods that perform whole person association with face screening and/or face hallucination. In particular, one aspect of the present disclosure is directed to a multi-headed person and face detection model that performs both face and person detection in one model. Each of the face and person detection can find landmarks or other pose information and also a confidence score. The pose information for the face and person detections can be used to select certain face and person detections to associate together as a whole person detection, which can be referred to as an “appearance.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 5, 2024Publication date: September 26, 2024Inventors: Robert McDonald, Shrenik Lad, Andrew Gallagher

Patent number: 11397906Abstract: Embodiments herein describe a predictive delivery planning system that includes a forecaster that predicts simulated orders (e.g., forecasted orders) for multiple different demand scenarios. Once the simulated orders are selected, a route planner can generate routes for delivering the simulated and actual customer orders for each scenario. The planning system then converts these routes in labor plans indicating the amount of time a delivery driver would need to deliver the orders. The planning system identifies a set of labor blocks from the labor plans and determines whether these blocks satisfy a utilization threshold. Put differently, the planning system uses a releasing policy that releases labor blocks whose expected utilization is higher than a predetermined threshold. The released labor blocks are then displayed to delivery drivers who can then select how many of the labor blocks they would like to work.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2018Date of Patent: July 26, 2022Assignee: Amazon Technologies, Inc.Inventors: Thomas Fillebeen, Ziyan Huang, Joshua Hum, Felipe Lagos, Robert McDonald, Prashanth Paramanandan, Margaret P.
