Towards an Information Extraction System Based on Ontology to Match Resumes and Jobs

While Internet takes up by far the most significant part of our daily lives, finding jobs/employees on the Internet has started to play a crucial role for job seekers and employers. Online recruitment websites and human resources consultancy and recruitment companies enable job seekers to create their resume, a brief written formal document including job seeker's basic information such as personal information, educational information, work experience and qualifications in order to find and apply for desirable jobs, whereas they enable companies to find qualified employees they are looking for. However resumes may be written in many ways that make it difficult for online recruitment companies to keep these data in their relational databases. In this study, a project that Kariyer.net (largest online recruitment website in Turkey) and TUBITAK (The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey) have been jointly working is proposed. In this mentioned project, a system enables free structured format of resumes to transform into an ontological structure model. The produced system based on ontological structure model and called Ontology based Resume Parser (ORP) will be tested on a number of Turkish and English resumes. The proposed system will be kept in Semantic Web approach that provides companies to find expert finding in an efficient way.
