What Does a "Normal" Position Look Like?

First, let's talk about a "clear" position so you can visualize it. For example, a Middle Java Developer. When you look at the JD, you can immediately see:

• They know Java, Spring Boot, or similar frameworks
• They have experience working with databases
• Professional English proficiency
• Strong problem-solving skills

And guess what? Most middle-level Java developers have these skills. Easy peasy, right?

So What's an "Weird" Position?

This is where things get interesting! An unclear position is when the job requires "a little bit of everything" to make up that role.

I once read about a very unique position: Game Supporter or Game Assistant at Gameloft. Their requirements were so "unusual" - listen to this:

• Language proficiency in English or Korean (depending on locale)
• Know how to play games, or even play lots of games
• QA experience
• Ability to work late nights (gamers are applauding now!)
• Ability to understand and evaluate game titles

And the sad news is... very few people meet ALL of these requirements!

🌟Where's the Problem?

You want to hire a gamer? Sure, they can stay up late, but they don't speak the language and have no QA experience.

You want to hire a QA? Yes, they test games well, but... they don't actually play games!

Tough, right? Very tough!

What's the Solution?

To hire for these unique positions, we need to do something important: determine what truly defines this position and how important each requirement is, rather than trying to match 100% of the requirements.

Let's go back to the Game Assistant position. Actually, this role is about:

• Supporting gamers
• Collecting feedback from players
• Packaging it into meaningful insights
• Delivering to the development team to improve the game

So clearly, QA is secondary (important, yes, but not priority #1). What's most important is they know how to play games and speak the language! As for QA? That can be trained so they have the ability to compile information!

Knoot JD System - The Smart Solution

And this is where Knoot JD System comes in to solve exactly this problem!

We provide an innovative AI solution that helps:

• Analyze JDs into information weighted from 1-100%
• Help you understand which information must match and which doesn't
• AI applies these weights to the screening process
• No more matching individual keywords mechanically
• Ensures no potential candidates are missed

Instead of rejecting a candidate just because they lack a secondary skill, our system helps you find hidden gems - people who have enough core elements to succeed in that role!

So there you have it - my take on this "tricky" recruitment challenge. I hope you'll have a fresh perspective on evaluating candidates. See you in the next posts! 🚀
