FEEDBACK-BASED UPDATE OF CANDIDATE RECOMMENDATIONS

Abstract:

The disclosed embodiments provide a system for processing data. The system obtains, based on parameters of a search by an entity, a first set of scores representing significances of a set of attributes as qualifications for an opportunity. Next, the system generates a ranking of candidates for the opportunity based on the first set of scores and additional sets of scores representing confidences in possession of the attributes by the candidates. The system outputs the ranking as results of the search during a session with the entity. The system updates the first set of scores based on one or more actions by the entity on one or more candidates in the outputted ranking and one or more additional sets of scores for the candidate(s). Finally, the system updates the outputted ranking based on the updated first set of scores and the additional sets of scores during the session.
