AI4HR Recruiter: a job recommender system for internal recruitment in consulting companies

Recruiting job candidates is a crucial activity for consulting companies to fulfill their consulting activities for customers or internal projects. Due to the complexity of the recruitment process, companies adopt standardized resume formats to be able to identify or compare candidates. However, this process requires significant involvement from human resource specialists and project leaders. In this paper, we present AI4HR Recruiter, a recommender system designed to improve the internal recruitment process of consultants. The system uses artificial intelligence-based techniques, specifically pre-trained sentence transformers. It aims at supporting recruiters in identifying and selecting candidates, rather than automating the process. We measure improvement in efficiency in terms of gains in recruiters time induced by the recommendation explanation presence. We also measure the impact on users’ satisfaction of two different types of algorithm to generate recommendations. To do so, we have been conducting a two fold study in a real-life setting for six months, where on the one hand, telemetry data was gathered while recommendation process user interaction was being performed and on the other hand, surveys about users’ satisfaction were conducted afterward. Our results evaluation demonstrates the effectiveness of the system in assisting recruiters in candidates selection process.

Using GQIM Model and Gompertz Model to Measure, Analyze, and Optimize the Whole Process of Software Project

This paper proposes a novel concept of using defect management technology to measure, predict, and optimize the management of the entire software project cycle. It first utilizes the software defect measurement GQIM model and prediction Gompertz model to track and quantify the defects of the entire project cycle. Then, the specific optimization strategy is proposed to manage the core processes of the project management, including project scope management, project time management, project quality management, project human resource management, project communication management, and project risk management. This study solves the quantification problems that are common in the current software project management process, such as complex testing procedures, high defect repair costs, and high communication costs. Furthermore, it contributes to promote the overall level of project management in the software industry. Taking the SDLM’s electronic banking software project management as an example, the various management quality indicators before and after the optimization of the project management process strongly indicate that using software defect management technology to optimize the software project management process is feasible and effective.

A Grey Prediction Algorithm for Enterprise Human Resource Management Validity Model Construction and Improvement

With the deepening development of economic globalization and world economic integration, all enterprises are faced with an increasingly complex and competitive living environment. Therefore, it is particularly important to formulate a human resource strategy suitable for the enterprise’s own development to cope with the external challenges and external competition of the enterprise. However, in the current management practice of state-owned enterprises including power supply enterprises in our country, it is rare to make strategic decisions on human resources by applying scientific, effective, and complete mathematical models. Taking construction enterprises as an example, this study combines human resource management, enterprise management, project management, comprehensive evaluation, and grey system and other theories to systematically study the effect of human resource management in enterprises, and finally constructs a suitable evaluation method for construction enterprises, and an assessment model for diagnosing its human resource management status. We provide practical guidance for the management of human resources in construction enterprises, which is conducive to human resource workers to discover existing problems in time and make improvements, give full play to the potential of human resources, and improve the level of human resource management and the value of enterprises.

Evolution of Labor Relations in the Development of Human Resources Based on Improved Genetic Algorithm

This paper systematically constructs a multi-project and a multi-objective human resource scheduling mathematical model in construction projects and puts forward an improved genetic algorithm to solve it by aiming at the problems existing in the process of human resource scheduling and optimization. Specifically, first, the basic mathematical models of GPRs and resource-constrained construction project human resource scheduling problem (RCWSP/GPRs) are established, and the multi-project equilibrium problem is extended. Then, an improved inter-cluster separation (ICS) algorithm is proposed and used to solve the RCWSP/GPRs problem. Finally, on this basis, the mathematical model of multi-project and multi-objective human resource scheduling problem and the solution method based on multi-objective-integrated circuit are proposed. At the same time, the resource-constrained multi-project and multi-skill human resource scheduling problem and the integer programming mathematical model under the generalized priority relationship are proposed. Also, the simulation results verify the accuracy of the proposed algorithm and model.

A comparative study of modeling and solution approaches for the multi-mode resource-constrained discrete time–cost trade-off problem: Case study of an ERP implementation project

Most knowledge-intensive industries, especially companies developing software engineering projects such as Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) implementation projects, generally necessitate finding the optimal trade-off between the project duration and total usage cost of the renewable resource costs (e.g., human resource expertise costs). Therefore, the MRC-DTCTP, which integrates classical multi-mode resource-constrained project scheduling (MRCPSP) and discrete time–cost trade-off problems (DTCTP), can be seen as a more applicable problem since it better reflects the objectives and requirements of today’s real-life software project applications. The MRC-DTCTP is a much more complex variant of the MRCPSP since it aims to minimize total direct/indirect costs of the resources simultaneously under a pre-specified project deadline. Based on this motivation, a new explicit integer-linear programming (ILP) model of the MRC-DTCTP was first developed based on the implicit non-linear programming model of Wuliang and Chengen (2009). Due to its NP-hard nature, we also proposed a constraint programming (CP) model that includes several search strategies to solve large-sized problem instances within reasonable computation time. In addition, a genetic algorithm (GA) approach in combination with a Modified Serial Schedule Generation scheme (SSGS) is implemented to make further comparisons on several benchmark instances, which are generated based on the existing MRCPSP data sets taken from the project scheduling problem library (PSPLIB) by considering additional problem characteristics. A comprehensive experimental study has shown that the proposed CP model and GA approach can provide superior results in shorter run times for large-sized benchmark instances. Finally, an international Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) Software Company’s real-life application is presented. The ERP projects generally necessitate finding the optimal trade-off between project makespan and human resource costs, making the MRC-DTCTP much more difficult than classical MRCPSPs & DTCTPs. For further analysis, time–cost trade-off curves under different human resource availabilities and project deadlines are drawn to provide managerial insights to ERP project managers.

Social Sustainability in Construction Projects—A Systematic Review of Assessment Indicators and Taxonomy

Despite its importance and appeal, the social dimension of sustainability in construction projects is less explored and lacks a comprehensive and standardized framework. This diminishes the holistic view of sustainability. The existing customized frameworks make the selection of factors challenging across different contexts. Eventually, the practitioners have to pick and choose the factors. This reduces the reliability of social sustainability assessments and makes them a procedural challenge. To fill this gap, the current review synthesizes a framework of social sustainability for construction projects. For this purpose, a systematic review of the literature published until 2021 is performed. The indicators are extracted from the selected 22 papers and their content is analyzed to check for similarities. The final set of 76 factors is synthesized into an assessment framework through a thematic analysis based on a bottom-up approach. The framework is organized into 7 enablers or themes, 27 indicators, and 76 sub-indicators. The enablers of social sustainability are stakeholder, safety and health, human resource development, project, industry, community, and government. The framework provides a comprehensive and precise view of social sustainability which can be leveraged to ensure better planning and sustainable development of construction projects.
