Language fluency validation

4.2.1.

Purpose

The language-fluency feature’s purpose is to validate if a user is able to perform at the required level of the job considering languages and fluencies on their profile.

4.2.2.

Data

4.2.2.1.

Candidates

The data for this factor is captured by the candidates themselves. The candidates are able to validate their languages and fluencies in the onboarding process of the platform, in the edit section while viewing their genomes, through the recruiter bot. Also we automatically detect languages based on a user’s location/IP if they don’t provide us with a language themselves.

4.2.2.2.

Talent seekers

Talent seekers can specify their requirements in the job post onboarding or while editing the job.

4.2.3.

Data validation

We validate the data that candidates give us in multiple ways.

4.2.3.1.

Language testing

Candidates can perform tests on the platform to validate their fluency in a language. We test vocal, written and reading fluency to make sure the candidate meets the requirements.

Description

For every language in the job requirements, we check the user’s languages and their fluencies. If a user is missing a language this or if their fluency is lower than the jobs requirements we filter the user from the suggestions and the user will score 0 for this factor.

4.2.6.

Mathematical description

Let:

L be the set of languages in the job requirements.
F_u(l) U be the set of languages the user knows.
F_j(l) be the fluency level of the user in language l.
be the fluency level required for language l in the job requirements

4.2.7.

Uncertainty

Uncertainty factors of this feature are in “missing languages only”. When a language is missing from the candidate’s skillset we don’t assume that the person doesn't have it but instead, we let the candidate and talent seeker know that we have some missing information of the user. This is then reflected in the score as an uncertainty range.
