CareerGPS

Turning Job Market Data into Actionable Career Plans

Overview

CareerGPS is a data-driven career guidance platform that transforms fragmented job listings into structured skill requirements, candidate compatibility scores, and personalized upskilling roadmaps. In addition to company-level matching, the platform provides a market-level readiness signal, allowing candidates to understand how competitive their skillset is within a given job market.

Key Features:

i) Job Skill Extraction Job listings are parsed using a Groq-powered LLM to extract key technical skills (e.g. Python, SQL, cloud tools), converting unstructured job descriptions into structured, comparable skill requirements at the company level.

ii) Resume Matching & Compatibility Scoring Users upload their resume, which is analysed for matching technical skills. A compatibility score is computed for each job listing, reflecting alignment between the applicant’s current skillset and the role’s requirements.

iii) Company-Level Aggregation & Comparison Fit scores between the applicant and individual job listings are aggregated at the company level using Pandas, retaining the highest compatibility score per company to represent the applicant’s best-fit role within that organisation. These aggregated scores are visualised using Streamlit’s native Vega-Lite charts, enabling fast, responsive comparison across companies.

iv) Salary Readiness Score (Market-Level Signal) Beyond individual companies, we compute a Salary Readiness Score, which measures how well a candidate’s skills align with the core skills most consistently demanded across the entire market for a given role. Rather than penalising early-career candidates for missing niche or company-specific technologies, the system: Identifies the most frequently required skills across all relevant companies in the given job role

Evaluates the candidate’s readiness relative to these high-demand, foundational skills

This provides a fairer, more realistic indicator of market competitiveness and salary readiness.

Skill Gap Analysis & Personalised Roadmap

For each company, the platform highlights: --> Skills the applicant already possesses --> Skills they are missing

When a target company is selected, a personalized roadmap is generated, recommending courses, projects, and internships to systematically close these skill gaps.
