The "degreeWithSpecialization" parameter in the Search and Match API is used to match both Degree and Specialization when performing a match between a resume and a job description (JD). However, if you are getting the same score when toggling the 'degreeWithSpecialization' parameter, it could be due to several reasons that may not involve the Degree and Specialization entities significantly influencing the match score.
Here are some potential reasons why this could happen:
1. No Degree or Specialization Match in the Job or Resume:
- Explanation: If the job description (JD) or the candidate's resume does not contain specific degree or specialization data, toggling 'degreeWithSpecialization' may have no effect on the score. The system will default to other criteria (such as experience, skills, location, etc.), which may result in the same score regardless of whether the degreeWithSpecialization parameter is enabled or not.
- Solution: Double-check that both the job description and candidate's resume contain relevant information regarding Degree and Specialization. For example, ensure that the JD specifies a particular degree and specialization (e.g., "B.Tech in Computer Science"), and the candidate's resume should have this information as well.
2. Degree and Specialization Mismatch but Same Overall Score:
- Explanation: If the Degree and Specialization do not match but the job description has flexible requirements, the system might still rely on other factors such as skills, experience, or location. In such cases, the overall score might remain the same regardless of the degreeWithSpecialization toggle.
- Solution: Verify whether the Degree and Specialization in the job description are strict requirements. If the job allows for flexibility (e.g., "Any Degree in a Related Field"), the degreeWithSpecialization toggle won't have a major impact, and the score may remain the same. You might also want to consider adjusting the weightage of Degree and Specialization in the degreeWithSpecializationWeightage parameter.
3. Matching on Other Criteria:
- Explanation: The matching score may be driven predominantly by other criteria, such as skills, experience, or location, especially if the degree or specialization isn't the primary factor in the match. If these other criteria are very strong in both cases (with or without degreeWithSpecialization), the score might not change when toggling this parameter.
- Solution: Analyze the weightage of other factors involved in the matching process. If the skills, experience, or other match criteria are very closely aligned, they will have a higher impact on the score than the degreeWithSpecialization parameter. You might want to adjust the weightage or focus more on the relevant degree/specialization matching.
4. Degree and Specialization Weightage Settings:
- Explanation: If you have customized the weightage distribution between Degree and Specialization using the degreeWithSpecializationWeightage parameter (e.g., Degree: 80%, Specialization: 20%), and the candidate's degree or specialization matches the job description, the influence of this parameter on the match score could be minimal or balanced depending on your settings. As a result, you might still see similar scores even after toggling the 'degreeWithSpecialization' parameter.
- Solution: Check the weightage distribution between Degree and Specialization and adjust it based on your needs. For instance, if Degree is given a significantly higher weightage than Specialization, the impact of toggling the parameter may be reduced.
