The right fit - behind a staffing recommendation system

Ina Iovitoiu

We have all experienced product recommendations on an e-commerce website and wondered how the system can delight us with such personalized offers that we cannot refuse. But would this work in a different setup? Say we have a project opportunity, available Thoughtworkers and the mission to provide staffing recommendations that take into account the capability matrix needed for the job, time zones, team mix, upcoming planned vacations, personal preferences, etc.  

There are two challenges which must be addressed when designing a recommended system for staffing: explainability and fairness. When bridging the gap between demand and supply, we have to know the reasoning behind automatically recommending a Thoughtworker for a position and making sure that the reasoning is not biased in any way. Because, when dealing with people, transparency is key.
