JANZZ.jobs, a white-label solution with anonymized application procedures

Reports [1],[2] have shown that an anonymized procedure at the very beginning of the application process can largely reduce bias and significantly improve equal opportunities. Here at JANZZ.technology, we have been building the architecture of our solutions around the anonymized process since 2010. JANZZ.jobs is a white-label solution designed to avoid bias during the first steps of the application process by concealing users’ personal data. Two profiles are created to separate personal information and job-related information. The job-related profile contains all information that is relevant to the matching process such as occupation, skills, soft skills, education, experience, availability, salary and so on. This profile is accessible from the start. The personal profile containing information such as name, gender, nationality, date of birth, marital status, portrait picture etc. is only shared upon user approval and is not used for job matching.

In addition to this anonymized procedure, JANZZ.jobs’ unique semantic matching engine, powered by JANZZ’ key technologies, searches and matches jobs and candidates based on the similarity of terms, i.e. synonyms and other relations – as opposed to mere keyword comparison. It also compares the degree of skills, identifies cryptic occupational terms through context, performs gap analyses and more. (To learn about semantic matching please check out our previous article JANZZ.technology – providing semantic technologies powered by ontology)

User Story: Recruiting agency in healthcare, medtech and pharmaceuticals looks for solutions to better support its clients

One of our customers is a recruiting agency specialized in the life science and healthcare sector in Europe. It consists of a small team with less than 10 people. Typically, the talent acquisition managers spend 50% of their already limited time on searching and analyzing CVs. They feel they could deliver more suitable candidates to their clients by reallocating some of this time to conducting in-depth interviews with a smaller number of qualified candidates. For this reason, our customer was interested in a recruiting platform to locate appropriate skilled personnel quickly and efficiently.

By using JANZZ.jobs, our customer has sustainably reduced the processing time of their acquisition managers. Meanwhile, thanks to the anonymized procedure, which largely protects the privacy of their clients, the quality of suitable applications has increased through

• significantly more precise, multilingual skills matching between applicants and vacancies in comparison with traditional job platforms,
• increased transparency for all applicants as to why an application has been rejected,
• improved skills-based active sourcing; vacancies are only visible and open to contact for suitable candidates.
