Predicting Job Titles from Job Descriptions with Multi-label Text Classification

Abstract

Finding a suitable job and hunting for eligible candidates are important to job seeking and human resource agencies. With the vast information about job descriptions, employees and employers need assistance to automatically detect job titles based on job description texts. In this paper, we propose the multi-label classification approach for predicting relevant job titles from job description texts, and implement the Bi-GRU-LSTM-CNN with different pre-trained language models to apply for the job titles prediction problem. The BERT with multilingual pre-trained model obtains the highest result by F1-scores on both development and test sets, which are 62.20% on the development set, and 47.44% on the test set.
