Modeling Two-Way Selection Preference for Person-Job Fit

Person-job fit is the core technique of online recruitment platforms, which can improve the efficiency of recruitment by accurately matching the job positions with the job seekers. Existing works mainly focus on modeling the unidirectional process or overall matching. However, recruitment is a two-way selection process, which means that both candidate and employer involved in the interaction should meet the expectation of each other, instead of unilateral satisfaction. In this paper, we propose a dual-perspective graph representation learning approach to model directed interactions between candidates and jobs. To model the two-way selection preference from the dual-perspective of job seekers and employers, we incorporate two different nodes for each candidate (or job) and characterize both successful matching and failed matching via a unified dual-perspective interaction graph. To learn dual-perspective node representations effectively, we design an effective optimization algorithm, which involves a quadruple-based loss and a dual-perspective contrastive learning loss. Extensive experiments on three large real-world recruitment datasets have shown the effectiveness of our approach. Our code is available at https://github.com/RUCAIBox/DPGNN .
