Automated personnel selection for software engineers using LLM-based profile evaluation

Abstract

Organizational success in today's competitive employment market depends on choosing the right staff. This work evaluates software engineer profiles using an automated staff selection method based on advanced natural language processing (NLP) techniques. A fresh dataset was generated by collecting LinkedIn profiles with important attributes like education, experience, skills, and self-introduction. Expert feedback helped transformer models - including RoBERTa, DistilBERT, and a customized BERT variation, LastBERT - to be adjusted. The models were meant to forecast if a candidate's profile fit the selection criteria, therefore allowing automated ranking and assessment. With 85% accuracy and an F1 score of 0.85, RoBERTa performed the best; DistilBERT provided comparable results at less computing expense. Though light, LastBERT proved to be less effective, with 75% accuracy. The reusable models provide a scalable answer for further categorization challenges. This work presents a fresh dataset and technique as well as shows how transformer models could improve recruiting procedures. Expanding the dataset, enhancing model interpretability, and implementing the system in actual environments will be part of future activities.
