Matching job seekers to opportunities

The U.S. Department of the Interior (DOI) is striving to improve recruitment, retention, and readiness among its workforce by helping both current government employees and private citizens around the country explore career opportunities within DOI and connect with relevant resources.

Forum One worked closely with DOI to develop and launch an engaging quiz that uses AI to match employees and job seekers to opportunities based on their status of federal employment, level of education, job experience, and professional strengths. Taking it one step further, we are additionally in the process of creating a platform that uses AI to further define one’s job path based on professional course completion.

Using data to advance professional growth

DOI sought to maximize its ability to recruit and retain future-ready talent at all levels, especially subject matter experts, frontline staff in difficult-to-hire roles, and promising future agency leadership. They were interested in using data to enable current and prospective employees to better understand the skills necessary to advance professionally within and across the DOI careers. 

Taking a product-based approach

Forum One’s technical team and experts from partners Polydelta provided strategic consulting to determine possible artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) use cases, and develop a product that provided the best return on investment. We guided DOI through strategic exercises to determine clear objectives for the project and map out activities and actions to achieve them.
