Despite World Series, local algorithm helps jobless New Yorkers

Friday, November 6th, 2009

NPR’s Morning Edition reports on job counseling efforts at the state of New York’s Department of Labor, and finds it’s using an algorithm developed by Burning Glass Technologies, which is based in Quincy Market.

Burning Glass develops algorithms that parse resume information and try to match job seekers with companies that will actually hire them. The job seeker in the story, a publishing industry executive, wasn’t “overly impressed” with the results, but with unemployment hitting 10.2 percent, somebody has to organize all that resume information.
