LONDON: Computer
scientists at the University
of California, Santa Barbara, have developed a new software, which
uses LinkedIn
network to guide your career.
The software called LinkedVis explores the information in your LinkedIn network and then recommends it to companies, New Scientist reported.
After scanning your network for people whose career path, skill set and qualifications resemble yours, the software ranks those people in order of similarity to you.
In the last step, it uses their current position and company to recommend career paths for you. The software can also be used to explore "what if" scenarios - for example, how getting another degree or added qualification would affect your prospects.
Till now, LinkedVis has only been tested on small amounts of offline LinkedIn data provided by 27 users.
John O'Donovan, one of the developers, asserted that he has had meetings with LinkedIn's chief engineer about the system, and that the company is "extremely interested" in it.
