The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) has announced new technology designed to help connect jobseekers with local roles is to be trialled in areas across Edinburgh and England.
The award-winning AI software is backed by a £1.3 million UK Government investment and aims to assist people looking for work - at any age or stage - by asking a series of questions about themselves and their employment history in order to build their online job seeking profile.
Building on this information, the cutting-edge software will then make intelligent suggestions based on live local jobs market data. Using specialist algorithms, the AI service will recommend next steps, which could point jobseekers to a live vacancy or a local skills bootcamp to help unlock other careers and training opportunities.
