Why do we need an O*NET-SOC AutoCoder?
The O*NET-SOC AutoCoder is a tool that can instantly provide a high-quality occupational classification for a job order, unemployment insurance claim, resume or search string. Long experience has shown that whether assigned by professional staff or customers themselves, the quality of occupational classification tends to be extremely poor. High-quality occupational coding, even for experts, requires time and analysis that is not usually available to those responsible for assigning codes in the real world; resulting in a critical point of failure in systems that may rely largely (or solely) on matching occupational information. Improving the quality and consistency of occupational code assignment may be the single most powerful way to improve job-match systems. The O*NET-SOC AutoCoder provides the means to accomplish this easily and efficiently.
