【经典网站】Bright:美国职位就业搜索引擎

Bright:美国职位就业搜索引擎是一个基于数据分析的职位搜索服务，通过特殊算法(algorithmic approach)将求职者的请求与招聘岗位配对。针对每个岗位，Bright系统会根据求职者的自身条件进行打分，这样会让求职者明白他们在选择某一项岗位时的竞争优势有多大。

Bright公司目前由美国职业社交网站LinkedIn周四宣布出价1.2亿美元收购，对于LinkedIn而言，Bright的卖点在于其针对简历和招聘岗位进行匹配的软件。此外，Bright.com收集了大量关于求职市场的见解和数据，这对LinkedIn来说也具有一定的价值。

Bright公司始建于2011年2月，经过18个月的时间进行了大量的简历和职位之间的数据研究，通过研究280多万份简历和860万求职者的信息数据，招聘数百名和人力资源专业人士以及15个数据科学家和工程师来共同研发这项工程，最终使用数据分析来研发了Bright:平台，并于2012年6月推出。

Bright was started in February 2011. For 18 months we conducted what we believe to be the largest resume to job description study in history. The study included over 2.8 million resumes, 8.6 million job seekers, hundreds of recruiters and HR professionals, and a team of 15 data scientists and engineers. The data from this research endeavor was used to build the Bright Score, which launched on June 19, 2012.

The Bright Score is able to look at hundreds of features on a resume in an instant, allowing us to analyze and score a holistic view of a candidate in the time it would take a human evaluator to absorb at most a couple of words. So we can immediately identify the candidates who are fit to move forward at a comprehensive level that could only be matched if a recruiter spent an hour on every single resume.
