In our earlier engagement with the industrial partner, we effectively developed methods that produced qualityx000D
recommendations to job seekers. We built a wide host of methods, ranging from syntactical and statisticalx000D
distribution of words and concepts to more complex language modeling techniques, as well as the use ofx000D
unsupervised learning of continuous representations of job postings through word and paragraph and documentx000D
embeddings, were used. However, once integrated and employed on BCJobs, it was observed that higherx000D
quality recommendations do not necessarily result in more job applications. Based on this finding, in thisx000D
follow-up project, our primary objective will be on understanding user behavior from interaction logs tox000D
address the following question: 'what are the parameters or conditions that impact user engagement with thex000D
BCJobs platform?' with the aim of discovering why users decide not to further engage with BCJobs after theirx000D
first job posting view. This will also require us to understand what encouraged those users who did, in fact,x000D
decide to engage and eventually applied for a given job. The primary research methods used for this projectx000D
will be based on performing randomized controlled studies to determine the impact of various factors on userx000D
engagement. The research work and required development will be carried out in close concert with thex000D
industrial partner BC Jobs Online Inc.
