Matching People & Jobs

Burning Glass’s approach to matching people and jobs is based on a simple concept: that by analyzing tens of millions of actual career transitions, we can identify the specific skills, experiences, and credentials that lead to placement in any given job. What this adds up to for job seekers are job matches that fundamentally make sense. For recruiting professionals, this means the ability to search a database or screen a flow of applicants and immediately identify those candidates most suited for the job.

From observation of tens of millions of actual career transitions, our engine has learned the specific skills, experiences, and credentials that lead to placement in any given job.

The concept may be simple, but the technology that makes it a reality is anything but. In order to put theory into practice, Burning Glass developed a unique artificial intelligence engine that reads, parses, and analyzes resumes and jobs in order to deliver intuitively relevant matches based upon past patterns of placement. Rather than relying on keywords or broad occupational categories, our technology determines potential matches based on its knowledge of the job market and a detailed, in-depth analysis of both resume and job description – just like an experienced recruiter. For us, resumes aren’t merely collections of words – instead, they are both the history of careers in progress and the key to future placements, based on the timing and sequence of the experience, skills, and other qualifications they describe.

It’s an innovative approach, but one that’s borne out by our customers’ significantly improved outcomes – the recruitment agency that tripled the number of placements from their resume database, the job bank that has seen nearly two-thirds of registered job seekers receive enquiries from employers who found them through Burning Glass, or the nearly 2,000 placements made by a job matching program Burning Glass administers for a statewide unemployment agency.
