Abstract

See full text

A method and apparatus for automatically selecting the job category or categories within which an applicant should be placed using only the applicant's resume is disclosed. The invention accepts as input a computer-readable version of the applicant's resume. An extractor, using a predetermined list of word patterns, the word patterns having been selected as indicative of skill in different job categories and assigned a weight commensurate with its value as an indicator of skill in a particular job catagory or categories, locates those words and word groups found in the resume that match the patterns. The weights of these words or word groups are then summed for each particular job category and the job category or categories having the highest point totals are selected as the most appropriate areas within the applicant should be placed.
