A Dive into Stack Overflow Jobs Search – Aurélien Gasser – Medium

About two years ago, a significant event happened at Stack Overflow: a new system, named Providence, was released. Providence would allow us to tell which technologies a visitor is interested in, and measure the "fitness" between a visitor and a job. More generally, the release of Providence marked a stepping stone in Stack Overflow's continuous effort to be "smarter" and invest in data science. There's a great series of blog posts about Providence if you want to know more about it. Go ahead and read it, I'll wait. As a developer on the Jobs team, I started working on using this new power to help you find a new, better job. My adventures in doing so is what this blog post will (mostly) be about.
