On the other side,
BimBamJob is a company that facilitates job-seeking for low-qualified persons, that are not at ease with online job-offers nor the french language.
To this end, BimBamJob reached out the DataForGood community. Our team of 4 data scientists & architects developped a SMS chatbot for job seekers. Based on the information they provide, the bot is able to create a curriculum vitae (personnal information, education, experiences, ...)
A Proof of Concept has then been developped to match individual curriculum to different job offers.
