Resource Matching Intelligence identifies when two resource records likely represent the same individual. It enables organizations to reuse known talent, reduce duplicate records, and streamline validation workflows across suppliers and systems.
The capability evaluates multiple identity and professional signals together to generate a clear, confidence-based match assessment. By combining these signals, it delivers accurate and explainable results without relying on rigid matching rules.
How It Works
Resource Matching Intelligence uses a multi-signal evaluation model to assess similarity between resource records.
| Principle | Description |
|---|---|
| Multi-signal evaluation | Combines multiple data points instead of relying on a single field |
| Identity-first weighting | Identity signals carry the greatest influence |
| Supporting context | Professional data strengthens confidence when identity aligns |
| Confidence-based output | Results are grouped into clear confidence levels |
Example signals
- Matching email addresses → strong confidence increase Similar work history → supporting evidence
- Name similarity alone → insufficient
Data and Comparison Methods
The system evaluates different types of data using methods appropriate to their structure and reliability.
| Data Type | Examples | Evaluation Method | Contribution | Notes |
|
Identity information |
Name, initial personal ID |
Direct comparison + name evaluation |
High | Primary indicator of whether records represent the same person |
|
Professional information | Skills, work experience, certifications, education |
Meaning-based similarity |
Supporting |
Strengthens confidence when identity aligns |
|
Names |
First and last name | Combined: meaning-based, sound-based, direct |
Medium–High |
Requires supporting identity signals |
| Structured fields |
Email, phone, IDs, addresses, and social media profiles |
Direct comparison |
High | Ensures precision and predictability |
Meaning-based similarity examples
- “Senior Java Developer” ↔ “Lead Java Engineer”
- “Project Management” ↔ “Program Leadership”
This approach uses AI-assisted models that convert text into vector representations, enabling comparison based on meaning rather than exact wording.
Match Confidence
Match results are presented as confidence levels to support consistent interpretation and decision-making.
| Confidence Level | Description | Typical Scenarios |
|---|---|---|
| High | Multiple strong signals align; high likelihood of match | Matching email or phone; consistent identity + professional data |
| Possible | Some strong signals present; not conclusive | Strong name similarity; overlapping experience; missing identity data |
| Low | Low or limited signals; review recommended | Similar names with no contact match; minimal professional overlap |
Signal Contribution
Signals contribute differently based on reliability and role in establishing identity.
| Factor | Evaluation Method | Contribution | Why It Matters |
|---|---|---|---|
| Name | Combined methods | High | Valuable when supported by identity data |
| Initial personal ID | Direct comparison | Medium | Reinforces alignment |
| Email Address | Direct comparison | Medium | Strong identity signal |
| Phone Number | Direct comparison | Medium | Confirms identity consistency |
| Skills & experience | Meaning-based similarity | Supporting |
Confirms professional continuity |
Manual Review
Manual validation is recommended when key identity information is incomplete or inconsistent.
| Scenario | Explanation |
|---|---|
| Missing contact information | Limits ability to confirm identity |
| Conflicting data | Identity signals do not align |
| Strong professional overlap only | Insufficient without identity confirmation |
| Incomplete identity fields | Reduces overall confidence |
Technical Approach
Resource Matching Intelligence uses AI-assisted similarity evaluation to enable accurate and scalable matching. All processing and evaluation occur within managed systems and services.
| Capability | Description |
|---|---|
| Vector-based representation | Converts identity and professional text into numerical vectors using Azure OpenAI |
| Meaning-based comparison |
Identifies equivalent or related information across different wording |
| Data-type-specific evaluation |
Applies direct or meaning-based methods depending on data type |
| Signal aggregation | Combines signals based on strength and reliability |
| Confidence mapping | Outputs results as Low, Possible, or High confidence levels |
