Evolution of data matching project

The 'Evolution of data matching' project aims to evaluate an advanced matching system for the public employment service in Switzerland. The proof-of-concept evaluation formed the basis for developing a more effective system that allows for enhanced data quality and more efficient matching of jobseekers to vacancies than the previous system. In addition to optimising placement processes, the project contributes to the creation of a sound database on the Swiss labour market. This opens up a wide range of possibilities for further data-based developments in the areas of labour market policy and business processes in unemployment insurance and the public employment service.

• Realisation of a comprehensive proof of concept (PoC) in cooperation with: ETH Zurich (machine learning for improved matching), University of Zurich (automated data extraction of competencies), WCC Group (competence-based matching and semantic search).
• Identification of optimisation potential in the existing employment and labour market statistics system (AVAM/PLASTA)
• Development of a specific catalogue of measures for step-by-step implementation (in practice and of the project)
