Data-driven Job Search Engine Using Skills and Company Attribute Filters

According to a report online, more than 200 million unique users search for jobs online every month. This incredibly large and fast growing demand has enticed software giants such as Google and Facebook to enter this space, which was previously dominated by companies such as LinkedIn, Indeed and CareerBuilder. Recently, Google released their "AI-powered Jobs Search Engine", "Google For Jobs" while Facebook released "Facebook Jobs" within their platform. These current job search engines and platforms allow users to search for jobs based on general narrow filters such as job title, date posted, experience level, company and salary. However, they have severely limited filters relating to skill sets such as C++, Python, and Java and company related attributes such as employee size, revenue, technographics and micro-industries. These specialized filters can help applicants and companies connect at a very personalized, relevant and deeper level. In this paper we present a framework that provides an end-to-end "Data-driven Jobs Search Engine". In addition, users can also receive potential contacts of recruiters and senior positions for connection and networking opportunities. The high level implementation of the framework is described as follows: 1) Collect job postings data in the United States, 2) Extract meaningful tokens from the postings data using ETL pipelines, 3) Normalize the data set to link company names to their specific company websites, 4) Extract and ranking the skill sets, 5) Link the company names and websites to their respective company level attributes with the EVERSTRING Company API, 6) Run user-specific search queries on the database to identify relevant job postings and 7) Rank the job search results. This framework offers a highly customizable and highly targeted search experience for end users.Comment: 8 pages, 10 figures, ICDM 201

Valuing high technology growth firms

For the valuation of fast growing innovative firms Schwartz and Moon (2000, 2001) develop a fundamentals based valuation model where key parameters, such as revenues and expenses, follow stochastic processes. Guided by economic theory, this paper tests this model on a sample of around 30,000 technology firm quarter observations from 1992 to 2009 using realized accounting data and benchmark it against the traditional Enterprise Value-Sales Multiple. Our results show that the Schwartz-Moon model is on average nearly as accurate as the multiple approach, while it is even more accurate in certain industries such as pharmaceutical and computer firms. Most importantly, the Schwartz-Moon model shows the ability to indicate severe market over- or undervaluation.Schwartz-Moon model, market mispricing, empirical test, company valuation

The Improvement of Willingness to Pay for Land in Forest Revitalization Development in Kalimantan Timur Province

The factors of wood scarcity were the longtime ago exploitation and the high demand of wood for export and import which may not always be relied on the supply from natural forest. To solve, it needed the development of forest planting industry by planting fast and slow grows plant through the expectation value of land. The purposes of this study were to know the increment volume of fast-growing and slow-growingwood, to know the profit of forest cultivation  and to know willingness to pay to land. The method of collecting the data was conducted using direct observation and interview to the administrator and the worker. The collected data was analyzed by using financial analysis with Payback Period (PP), Net Present Value (NPV), Net B/C ratio, Internal Rate of Return (IRR), Equivalent Annual Annuity (EAA) and Willingness Pay to Land (WPL) method based on technical and economic cycle. The calculation showed that the kinds of fast-growing plant (P.falcataria, A. Mangium and E.deglupta) in the age of 10 have bigger increment than 15m3/ha/year.  In the other hand, the kinds of slow-growing plant (S. macrophylla, S.leprosula and G.arborea) had smaller increment than 15m3/ha/year. In addition, the variations of each plant increment plant were different, which can affect the financial value. Financially, under technical cycle, almost all the plants were good to be cultivated except G.arborea. While, under economic cycle, all the plants were good to be cultivated because their IRR value were higher than Minimum Accessibility Rate(MAR=4.5%). The fast-growing plants had higher wished price land than the slow-growing plants, in which under the technical cycle, G.arborea had negative willingness pay for land. In the other hand, under the economic cycle, the result showed that P. falcataria had the highest willingnesses pay for land, while plant with the lowest wished price land was G.arborea. The revitalization of forest will give tax potency that must be paid by the company based on the wished price land from every kinds of plant about 15% (per unit) as the plants tax that will be charged into the selling price of the wood. The forest revitalization which was conducted by the company, the government and the public can be the source of company profit, government revenue, and public income for a long period. With economic cycle, the income will be higher than the one under technical cycle. Keywords: Willingness to Pay for Land, Forest Revitalization Developmen

Case Study: Pacific Green Industries (Fiji) Limited: Pacific Palmwood Furnitures Green Approach

Pacific Green is a green furniture company producing up-market furniture made from senile coconut trees. This paper explores the unique characteristics of this company and its success in world markets. Originally operating only in Fiji, the company now sources finished wood from Fiji and carries out its manufacturing assembly operations in China. It has showrooms across the world. The paper also highlights issues which need to be further explored, including concerns from the fast growing coconut oil skin care industry in Fiji about continued availability of high quality coconut oil, since senile trees still produce at a reduced but reasonable rate and no formal replanting program is in place. Coconut oil is also being considered as a viable source of biofuel, placing further pressure on future coconut availability
