Actonomy, the Belgium based software provider of HRM
search technology announced the release of its xMP semantic search technology,
the only concept based search technology powered by a semantic knowledge base.
Actonomy’s xMP semantic search technology is the
first multilingual semantic search
platform that understands the context and the meaning of the words one is
searching for. Users are no longer
faced with poor search results because words have a different meaning in a
different context. As an example :
while searching for ‘java software developer in London’ with Actonomy, the
system will understand that ‘software developer’ is a function, ‘java’ is a
competence or expertise and ‘london’ is a city name.
‘Our xMP semantic search will not only result in
much better and relevant search results, says Filip De Geijter, CEO Actonomy,
‘but it will enrich the search query with additional relevant information. As an example : while searching for
‘charity fundraisers’, the system will automatically add relevant terms such as
different fundraising mechanisms and other terms that are commonly used and
relevant for charity. This extra
information will enhance the search results and will provide you of more and
better results even when you had not thought of adding these terms as search
criteria.’
Semantic search allows to create a total view on
matching candidates and vacancies (and vice versa) based on functions,
expertise, experience, work experience, education, location and recency of the
information. Results are ranked
based on relevance and a detailed view on why matches are found is
available. The ranking is based on
a newly developed scoring mechanism that differs fundamentally from existing
scoring mechanisms that are used in standard search engines.
Actonomy xMPsemantic search is
available as a toolkit for rapid integration in jobboards, recruitment service
platforms and recruitment solutions used by staffing agencies or corporate
customers. The technology has
already been integrated by several of the Actonomy key customers such as
Vacature.com.
