What this build is about
This project is an AI-based internship recommendation engine called SmartMatch. It's a prototype designed to solve a specific problem for the PM Internship Scheme in India. The build is about creating a simple, lightweight, and accessible tool that uses a hybrid model of rule-based logic and machine learning to suggest a small, curated list of relevant internships. Instead of overwhelming users with a long, unorganized list, it provides 3-5 personalized options.
Why we built it
We built this engine to address a significant problem for a large segment of the population: first-generation learners and candidates from rural areas with limited digital experience. They often find it difficult to navigate complex online portals and match their skills and interests to suitable opportunities. By building this tool, we aim to:
- Empower these candidates by simplifying the internship search process.
- Increase engagement on the portal by making it more user-friendly and less intimidating.
- Improve the quality of applications and the overall success rate of the internship scheme.
How it can be useful for others
This project can be useful for various stakeholders:
-
For Candidates: It acts as a personal career guide, saving them time and frustration. It helps them discover opportunities they might have otherwise missed, leading to a better-aligned and more successful internship experience.
-
For the PM Internship Scheme: The tool enhances the platform's efficiency and helps it achieve its mission of providing equitable opportunities. It can lead to higher candidate retention and a more effective allocation of talent.
- For Companies: Companies receive applications from a more targeted and qualified talent pool, reducing the time and effort spent sifting through misaligned applications.
AI-based recommendation engines have a wide range of applications beyond internships, from e-commerce platforms to streaming services and content delivery.
