Resume Search
Hello,

We are planning to develop a job portal similar to dice.com or monster.com or naukri.com.


We wanted to know how can Solr help us in


Resume search. We want a very accurate search which searches for single/multiple words or sentences and also Boolean search.


Regards

Hi Kiran,

We've worked for various recruitment companies over the years and Solr
can certainly do what you need. Here's some links in case they help:
http://www.flax.co.uk/blog/client/reed-specialist-recruitment/
http://www.flax.co.uk/blog/category/sectors/recruitment/

Searching for single/multiple words or sentences and Boolean search are
core capabilities of Solr. Bear in mind that resumes are at best
semi-structured documents, and it's often hard to separate content that
refers to recent skills and experience from older content e.g. college
courses or jobs. This is borne out by the general innaccuracy of
automatic recruitment search systems, who often try to recruit me based
on skills I forgot many years ago :)

Cheers

Charlie

Solr can do this without a problem. Have seen it before :) I do think it is a very general question though as there are many things that come into play besides just indexing and finding documents. You have to decide which fields you want to search and how important they are. You also have to factor in geographic location and many other details.

Good luck, I am sure it will be a fun project. Solr is really cool.

Google for "careerbuilder solr" and you will find a lot of helpful
resources. If I remember it right, naukri.com is also powered by
Solr/Lucene.

Re: Resume Search [ In reply to ]
Naukri is powered by Lucene but I'd suggest Solr for someone who's
_starting_ to solve the same problem.

You can certainly build this using Lucene, but it would take a lot longer
and you'd be duplicating years of effort.
