In today’s rapidly evolving job market, achieving better workforce outcomes demands innovative solutions. Resultant’s Workforce Recommendation Engine (WRE) stands out as a cutting-edge tool that harnesses state data along with the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to enhance state workforce services and empower job seekers. Tailored specifically for state and local government agencies, this solution transforms the way employment, training, and benefit services are delivered. Here’s how our Workforce Recommendation Engine works and what sets it apart.
AI-Driven Personalization: Tailoring Opportunities to Individuals
One of the core capabilities of the WRE is delivering personalized career and training recommendations through AI-driven functionality. By leveraging statewide longitudinal data systems (SLDS) and integrating data from various state agencies, such as education and workforce, the WRE provides personalized career pathways.
For example, when an unemployment insurance (UI) claimant uses the system, the AI-driven engine analyzes their profile information including work history, wages, educational background, industry experience, geographic data, and career interests. The engine then cross-references this data with hundreds of thousands of other historical workforce and education pathways to identify patterns and predict successful career paths for users. This tailored approach ensures users will receive the most relevant job and training opportunities
Advanced Algorithms: Streamlining Career Navigation
Navigating career opportunities can be overwhelming, with disconnected tools, multiple websites, and endless decision points creating confusion. Resultant’s WRE simplifies this process for job seekers. The WRE is not another website; it’s a portable solution that can integrate with any portals or sites an agency currently uses. It doesn’t require the user to input any additional information or perform tangential searches. The engine employs sophisticated algorithms designed to streamline the job search and training recommendation process, making it user-friendly and efficient.
WRE integrates data from multiple disparate sources and links it together through probabilistic record linkage. Users can apply certain filters that are important to them and the tool also provides third-party labor market data to help them make fully informed decisions. AI models within the engine use hybrid filtering techniques—combining user similarities with individual preferences—to continuously refine recommendations.
Users receive real-time insights that are easy to navigate, allowing them to sort opportunities by median wage, training duration, or job availability.
Machine Learning: Continuing Improvement and Enhanced Decision-Making
Resultant’s WRE isn’t static but evolves over time through machine learning. User feedback plays a critical role in refining the recommendation models, ensuring the recommendations become increasingly relevant and precise.
WRE provides targeted suggestions by utilizing education, workforce, and UI data, but agencies can also continue to layer in other data over time for additional use cases and improved accuracy. It’s a scalable solution and agencies aren’t limited to only the datasets they choose to begin with. The algorithm can be tuned and retrained as more data becomes available.
Machine learning algorithms within the engine analyze vast datasets to identify trends and patterns. These insights contribute to more effective claimant-job matching and higher success rates for job seekers, ultimately reducing the amount of time claimants spend unemployed. Moreover, state agencies gain invaluable data insights, enabling them to understand public service efficacy and make informed policy decisions.
Differentiation through Data Interoperability and AI Expertise
What sets Resultant’s WRE apart from other workforce tools is its unparalleled ability to leverage state data and AI. Resultant’s deep expertise in public sector data interoperability, particularly our unrivaled experience with SLDS data, ensures seamless integration of disparate data sources. Because Resultant is technology agnostic, we can work with all platforms. We’ll choose the best solution for your agency and its existing systems to unify data and compute capabilities, enhancing implementation efficiencies.
By converting existing state agency data into actionable insights, the WRE empowers its users and drives meaningful outcomes. The power of SLDS data combined with the integration of AI technology positions Resultant’s WRE at the forefront of transforming your workforce services. State decision-makers can now support their constituents more effectively, tailoring services to individual needs and improving economic mobility.
