Semantic Search is an advanced tool that allows you to perform targeted searches within the candidate database, using skills and professional experiences extracted from CVs through the resume parsing system.

With this feature, you can:

• Quickly find candidates with specific skills or experience in a particular role
• Automatically recognize synonyms and correct typos for more accurate results
• Combine semantic search with other search tools available in Altamira Recruiting

How Semantic Search Works

Accessing Semantic Search

• Use the AI widget in the free-text search box.
• Click on the AI icon to open the dedicated panel, where you will find fields and options to customize your search.

Available Fields

• Professions:

  • Search by (granularity): Adjust the search detail level using the slider. You can choose between Category, Subcategory, and Profession.
  • Suggest: Select one or more relevant professions. Suggestions are filtered based on the chosen granularity level and include professions that are synonyms of the searched term.

• Skills:

  • Suggest: Select one or more specific skills to narrow down the search.

Filter Management

• Taxonomy Filter: Enable this option to limit results to taxonomies (professions and skills) already present in the database, meaning those extracted from CVs.
• Refresh: Update the taxonomy list in real-time, including information extracted from newly received CVs.

Key Features of Semantic Search

• Synonym Recognition:
  The system interprets synonyms used in CVs and associates them with predefined categories, improving search accuracy

• Automatic Error Correction:
  Typos do not affect search results, ensuring higher precision

• Automatic Taxonomy Updates:
  The database taxonomies are updated every 5 minutes to include the latest information extracted from CVs. Any new taxonomies are added automatically

Advantages of Semantic Search

• Precision: Targeted searches on specific skills and detailed roles
• Efficiency: Save time by quickly finding candidates with the ideal profile
• Flexibility: Combine semantic search with other queries to obtain customized results
• Continuous Evolution: Always updated taxonomies thanks to integration with resume parsing
• Bias Elimination: Search results are based on candidates' professional characteristics and are not influenced by subjective biases
