Powered by AI, Machine Learning and Semantic Technology
There are three core ingredients behind Textkernel’s success:
- Semantic understanding of documents (CVs, job ads) and queries
- Advanced searching and matching
- HR domain knowledge
AI and Machine Learning technologies are the driving power behind this. Machine Learning enables our models to be more accurate and robust. Semantic search judges the relevance of a document based on a sophisticated model that understands what you mean rather than the the keywords that you type. In addition, a domain-specific semantic layer is needed to provide meaningful search results. Textkernel’s data-driven and extensive HR domain knowledge provides this final ingredient for state-of-the art parsing, searching and matching results.

Textkernel: origin of its name
Textkernel’s name has its origins in computer science. ‘Kernel’ is the technical term for the core of an operating system. Textkernel’s technology operates around the core, the essence of the text. A kernel is also a mathematical concept from the theory of Machine Learning. That is how the name Textkernel originated: ‘the core engine that learns the meaning of text’.
