Inspiration
After speaking to Merit Edge representatives as well as recruiters from some of YHack's sponsors, we understood the challenges that accompany large-scale recruiting and have developed a comprehensive, scalable solution that addresses these pain-points.
What it does
RecruitBot allows recruiters to upload resumes and through a web interface, rank and filter according to their hiring preferences. Pertinent information from the resumes are parsed and stored in a database, and queries are run to extract the desired talent.
We rank and filter resumes with the following criteria:
Recruiters can change the priorities of each criteria from the web console:
University: We used US College News rankings
GPA: Allows the recruiter to set GPA filters on the web interface
Major: Allows for more effective filtering depending on required qualifications
Skill set: Filter by needed skills and technologies
Experience: Our algorithm is able to detect and rank previous work experiences based on a company's prestige
How I built it
Built using the MEAN stack, with python handling the parsing and logic.
Challenges I ran into
Since resumes are varied in their structure, a major hurdle was handling the myriad of formats and extracting needed information despite these variations.
