Search Ranking for the Unintentional Searcher

How can search engines show the most relevant results for users who use broad keywords? At Handshake we have seen that our early-talent users often don't know what they want and use vague search terms like "internship." As a result, our Elasticsearch search engine couldn't serve the most relevant jobs.

Join Samhita Karnati, Data Engineer at Handshake, as she discusses how we tackled this problem through personalized relevance ranking that enhances text-based search scores with other known user characteristics.

Light morning refreshments will be provided.
