Match Degree with Specialization

This topic describe the procedure on how you can match the Specialization entity along with Degree of the candidate.

Previously, the search and match API consider Degree entity for match without considering the degree specialization. With implementation of this feature, you can now match for both Degree and Specialization entities, with weightage/scores distributed between them. In order to match for both Degree and Specialization entities, you must pass degreeWithSpecialization parameter in the API request and mark it True. See below for reference:

"degreeWithSpecialization": true

The weightage/scores distributed between Degree and Specialization entities equally if both are matched. If only one of the entity is matched then 50% weightage given to the matched entity. Also, higher specialization is consider for matching, for example if the query is "Bachelors of Technology in Computer Science" then:

B.tech in Computer Science resumes are given 100% weightage.
MTech in Computer Science resumes are given 100% weightage.
BSc/MSc in Computers Science resumes are given 50% weightage
BCom or BDS or LLB etc., are given 0% weightage

The degreeSpecialization parameter can be passed in the API request of Match, Match with ID, Match with Multiple Sub-User Ids, and One To One Match.

Note:

The degreeSpecialization parameter is applicable only for JD to Resume search and match.
The degreeSpecialization parameter must be passed as True in the API request to use this feature.
Use JD parser API to get parsed JD JSON data, but use version as "3.2" instead of "3.1".
To know more details, refer Match, Match with ID, Match with Multiple Sub-User Ids, and One To One Match.
