Computer-assisted hiring - to make better and/or quicker selection decisions - has long been a goal for many employers. Advances in Natural Language Processing and other AI/ML techniques present an opportunity to make this a reality.

We invite you to explore whether hiring and selection can be improved using automated evaluation of written applications. You will explore different potential approaches to this problem and create prototype software that assesses and scores completed application forms. Interesting extensions might include exploring visualisation techniques to make the software's output transparent to non-technical users.

We see the software created having wide applicability and would encourage and support you to open source your work where appropriate.
