Key Points
- The paper argues that current AI recruitment systems often miss requisition-specific personal competencies (PCs) that go beyond generic job categories.
- It proposes an LLM-based method that combines dynamic few-shot prompting, reflection-driven self-improvement, similarity filtering, and multi-stage validation to extract and rank req-specific PCs.
- Evaluated on Program Manager requisitions, the approach achieves an average accuracy of 0.76 for identifying the highest-priority req-specific PCs, nearing human expert inter-rater reliability.
- The method also keeps an out-of-scope rate low (0.07), suggesting it can avoid selecting irrelevant competencies when prompts or data are mismatched.
- The overall contribution is a more scalable workflow for deriving fine-grained competency signals from requisitions, potentially improving how recruiters and HR teams operationalize candidate evaluation criteria.
