SmartMatch

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

SmartMatch is a proprietary intelligent search engine that searches résumés and other information about job applicants and matches that information with job descriptions ^[1]. It was developed at Guru.com between 2001 and 2003 and was acquired by Unicru in 2004. During development it was referred to by its codename Convex.

SmartMatch uses a variety of techniques from artificial intelligence research to produce high-quality search results^[2]. Its three major components are:

• A resume parser that can locate the principle structure of English-language résumés.
• A domain-specific ontology that allows the extraction of concepts from parsed resumes
• A set of machine learning tools that automatically extend and enhance the ontology
