Using Solr to find the Right Person for the Right Job
Presented by Laura Kang, TheLadders at Lucene Revolution 2011
In this talk, we'll describe how TheLadders.com uses Lucene/Solr to instantly recommend candidates to a recruiter when he/she posts a job on the recruiter site. Our matching algorithm scores candidates from our job seeker site based on the criteria and description of jobs and job seekers' resume and profile data. This helps recruiters quickly identify candidates that are right for the job and increases the chance of our job seekers getting hired.
The talk covers an overview of our Solr architecture and a description of our matching algorithm. We'll also a discuss criteria for evaluating the algorithm, including an overview of our testing sessions and their format. Finally, we'll also demo the feature so you can see how it works in practice.
