Abstract
Techniques for inferring a specific skill associated with a job posting are described. In an example, disclosed is a system that selects, from a jobs database, a specific job posting from a plurality of job postings. Additionally, job applicants for the specific job posting can be determined using indicators in the profile data of members. Moreover, a set of skills associated with the job applicants can be obtained. Furthermore, a percentage of the job applicants having a specific skill from the set of skills can be determined using the profile data of the job applicants. Subsequently, a confidence score of the specific skill being associated with the specific job posting can be calculated based on the percentage of the job applicants having the specific skill. A user interface can display a presentation of the specific job posting to a first member when the confidence score transgresses a predetermined score.
