About the Team:
Recommendations Ecosystem
The Recommendations Ecosystem group owns the intelligence that connects job seekers and jobs in our marketplace. We aim to understand every job and every job seeker well enough to make matches that work for both sides. We structure and enrich the jobs corpus, build the foundational models that encode jobs and job seekers, and run the matching engines that put the right opportunities in front of the right people.
What our team owns
Our group is the authoritative source for job understanding and matching intelligence, focusing on accuracy, relevance, and trust:
- Jobs Corpus Understanding: ZipRecruiter takes in millions of job postings from employers, partners, and feeds. We own the ingestion and enrichment pipelines that turn raw postings into structured data. We use ML classifiers to infer job attributes like education requirements and pay, and we attach company and location data. We find and suppress fraudulent listings or terms of use violations, so the marketplace stays safe and worth using. The result is a canonical view of every job that recommendations, search, and employer products build on.
- Foundational Models and Embeddings: At the core of ZipRecruiter's matching ecosystem are models that encode everything we can learn about jobs and job seekers. We build LLM-based embedding models from job content, resumes, and behavioral signals. These are the building blocks for matching and other ML models across the company, and we serve them at scale online and in batch.
- Matching Engines: We are responsible for the ML systems that recommend jobs to job seekers and job seekers to employers across our app, website, and email. The engines cover large-scale candidate retrieval over vector DBs and orchestration that delivers fresh, personalized recommendations.
