Inclusive of our service package, we've deployed a few data processing and server upgrades that have been improving service for jobseekers in 2024:
- 🌐 Geospatial matching upgrade: Since Canada has so many small towns, there can sometimes be low quality matches or zero matches for certain job types in regions with limited demand. If there are no results or fewer than 25 results, higher-scoring matches within the region up to and including the nearest metro area which may have been missed before are now being returned.
- 🗺 Career path update: Tighter alignment between resume career path and most probable next jobs. The jobseeker's self-written executive summary along with their most recent 3 jobs are both factored in when estimating the most probable next job type for matches.
- 🛠 Skills update: Acuspire is now tracking approximately 600,000 unique skills and tools across all jobs and resumes. We originally launched Eco Canada with 72,000 skills in 2021.
- 🔀 Auto-Expanding Matches: Automatically expanded laterally into adjacent role types, with matching retried up to 10 times until it finds a minimum of 25 matches. This is helpful if the market currently does not have much demand for the jobseeker's most direct role type.
- 📩 Daily & Instant Job Alerts: Jobseekers should be receiving more job alerts each week with higher-quality matches. We currently send up to 1 alert for each morning that summarizes all of the top new jobs for each subscribed jobseeker, and we still send "top candidate" alerts throughout the day on behalf of your employer customers.
- ⚡ Server upgrade: We've completed a few server upgrades and the platform should feel a little more snappy than before. Some users still report occasional slowdowns, so one additional update will be necessary in the next few weeks.
