# Professional Network Matters: Connections Empower Person-Job Fit. (arXiv:2401.00010v1 [cs.SI])


Online recruitment platforms typically employ Person-Job Fit models in the core
service that automatically match suitable job seekers with appropriate job
positions. While existing works leverage historical or contextual information,
they often disregard a crucial aspect: job seekers' social relationships in
professional networks. This paper emphasizes the importance of incorporating
professional networks into the Person-Job Fit model. Our innovative approach
consists of two stages: (1) defining a Workplace Heterogeneous Information
Network (WHIN) to capture heterogeneous knowledge, including professional
connections and pre-training representations of various entities using a
heterogeneous graph neural network; (2) designing a Contextual Social Attention
Graph Neural Network
