This feature enhances the job search experience with the help of NLP by matching keywords sent from the candidate to your available jobs. When enabled, this experience will automatically occur, but you do have the option to further advance this process with customized keyword mapping. 

Use cases

• Improve Candidate Matching: Associate the common terms we see candidates using to search for jobs post go-live, with the job data in your job feed.
  • Example: We see candidates searching for "Administrative Assistant", but the client titles this role as "Office Coordinator". Keyword mapping would ensure relevant job listings are returned, even if the job titles candidates search for differ.

Best practices for implementation

Keyword Mapping should only be used for true mapping needs, based on how live candidates are searching for jobs. This feature is intended to ensure Candidates get the right results based on their search patterns. It is not intended to manipulate our search algorithm prior to go-live, before we have seen how candidates are actually searching for jobs.
