AI in Recruitment : Scoring Applies in terms of Relevance to a Job

Naukri Apply Relevance Score provides an indicator of how relevant an apply is to the job which a recruiter has posted on Naukri.com.  Recruiter receive this score as part of the subject line of the apply mail that is sent after jobseeker applies to the job on the site. Only highly relevant CVs are rated as 5star or *****, while 1 star * applies are the least relevant basis the parameters of the job and the jobseeker profile and resume.

Recruiters can chose to receive applies only above a particular rating and hence spend more time on higher rated applies. Based on the results we have gathered, a 5 star ***** rated apply is 2 times more likely to be viewed and shortlisted compared to a 2 star ** apply.

28th March 2018 Update - Major improvement done by the Naukri data science team, a 5 Star ***** rated apply is now 12 times more like to be viewed and shortlisted compared to an average apply.
