“Organizations are unearthing precious gems of knowledge in stored text,” said Fiona McNeill, Global Analytics Product Marketing Manager at SAS. “Combine and analyze content from social networks, call centers, customer surveys, claims forms and sales returns, and you would be amazed at the view of issues and opportunities. SAS Text Analytics mines, interprets and structures information to reveal patterns, sentiment and associations. This yields invaluable insights that improve efficiency and sharpen decision making.”
“SAS Text Analytics helps ChinaHR.com remain a leading force in online recruitment in China,’’ said VP Hai Yang. ChinaHR.com, the first to offer online recruiting services in China, uses text analytics to extract data from résumés, regardless of what format they are in, and identify the information that employers request.
SAS Text Analytics automatically categorizes job postings and résumés within more than 400 categories in both simplified and traditional Chinese. It parses and analyzes content for entities and events that are then used to trigger calls to candidates. This automation dramatically reduced ChinaHR.com’s human resources costs. Precision in job matching capabilities is critical to providing relevant search results. Using SAS, the company improved the accuracy of matching résumés and job postings to more than 95 percent.
