Aligning human capital supply with market demand
Summary
The intersection of demand and supply in consultancy services consists of semantic information in the form of texts, unstructured data, usually in the form of résumés, profiles and job descriptions.
The specific financial and business risks of IT consultancies equate to the challenges of a multi-level inventory; either having too large of an inventory with costly non-productive resources (i.e. consultants on the bench – as a consequence of diminishing or changing demand) or lost business resulting from demand that is not met with adequate resources.
We build a solution that consumes and converts semantic information into a corporate and market analysis.
Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence
The design and development of such a system needs to solve a sequence of specific challenges with a variety of AI approaches:
1. Text extraction and text mining
2. Classification of important concepts via machine learning models
3. Transferring human knowledge and expertise into an analytical system using knowledge graphs (ontology), classifications and data curation.
