Abstract

Fulfilling career aspirations is important for growth of employee and organization. We propose a data driven methodology to recommend personalized career path for a given aspirant's career path and aspirations. The pro-posed method uses the career path similarity (CPS) between aspirant's career and candidate career path, and 'aspirational similarity' (AS) between aspiration and candidate career paths to find suitable career path. CPS ensures personalized recommendation while AS ensures aspiration fulfillment. We defined two methods to compute the CPS between career paths which are (a) domain knowledge driven (DKD) and, (b) unsupervised representation learning and alignment (URLA) based, along with different AS measures. The DKD based similarity is defined in the terms of features extracted and summarized over career paths. In the URLA, we use the sequence of event names present in the career paths of the employees to learn the embedding for each event name. In URLA we use learned embedding vector of the career path event names and as-sociated event attributes (skill cluster and domain) to find the best alignment between two career paths. We hypothesized that relative position of event names in the sequence represents semantics of event name and that can be learned. We use LSTM neural network to learn the embedding vector of each career event name. We also define the matching method to compute the AS be-tween aspiration and career path in both proposed methods. We combine CPS and AS to rank available 'candidate career paths' of employees to find the suitable one. We get better DCG value in URLA as compare to DKD. We also showed that ranking are coherent using both the methods. URLA method is better since it does not require domain knowledge to model the similarity and includes temporal aspect by optimal Levenshtein alignment using weighted cosine distance.
