Machine learned job recommendation

We address the problem of recommending suitable jobs to people who are seeking a new job. We formulate this recommendation problem as a supervised machine learning problem. Our technique exploits all past job transitions as well as the data associated with employees and institutions to predict an employee's next job transition. We train a machine learning model using a large number of job transitions extracted from the publicly available employee profiles in the Web. Experiments show that job transitions can be accurately predicted, significantly improving over a baseline that always predicts the most frequent institution in the data.
