Transform Your Job Search: How Health eCareers Uses AI on AWS!

In today’s fast-paced healthcare job market, the quest for the ideal position can feel like searching for a needle in a haystack. But fear not! A pioneering job board for healthcare pros is stepping up to revolutionize the way you hunt for your next career opportunity. Say hello to an exciting AI-powered search experience that’s designed to make job seeking not just easier, but downright enjoyable!

This blog dives into how this innovative platform harnessed the power of Amazon Web Services (AWS) to create AI-driven features that transform job hunting into a simple, engaging dialogue.

The Challenge: Navigating the Maze of Healthcare Job Searches

Let’s face it: traditional job search interfaces are often a chaotic mess of checkboxes, dropdowns, and filters that can leave you feeling more confused than empowered. Research reveals that many users ditch their job searches due to cumbersome filtering options—leading to frustration, lost chances, and drawn-out hiring processes.

This clear pain point sparked the need for a more user-friendly approach to connect healthcare professionals with the jobs they truly desire. Imagine typing out a simple request like, “Show me surgical positions in Southern California for orthopedic surgeons.” This streamlined communication helps users find exactly what they’re looking for with ease. By minimizing search friction, the goal is to not only engage users but also boost application rates.

The Solution: Supercharging Job Searches with Amazon Bedrock

To tackle this challenge, the platform sought a robust, secure solution capable of managing high volumes of personalized job requests. They turned to cutting-edge large language models (LLMs) to interpret complex medical job roles and user intentions, making the job search as effortless as having a chat with a friend.

Amazon Bedrock proved to be the perfect fit, providing powerful foundation models like Anthropic Claude and Amazon Titan Text Embeddings. These models excel at understanding complex language and delivering meaningful results. By leveraging the diverse LLMs offered through Amazon Bedrock, the platform crafted an intuitive, AI-driven tool that turns job searches into an engaging, conversational experience.

So, how does this magic happen? Let’s break it down:

1. User Interaction: When you submit a job query on the website, your input is processed through a .NET application using the Amazon Bedrock SDK on Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS). The request is first refined and then sent to the Anthropic Claude foundational model for detailed processing.

2. Geographical Understanding and Vectorization: The Anthropic Claude model expertly identifies geographical references in your query. For example, “Boston area” gets translated into precise geo-coordinates. After refining the input, it’s sent to the Amazon Titan embedding model for vectorization.

3. Semantic Search: The vectorized query is dispatched to an Elasticsearch cluster on an Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2) instance, performing a semantic search across a comprehensive repository of job postings, updated every six hours.

4. Knowledge Base: Job posting data is initially stored in Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3) before being vectorized with Amazon Titan and stored in Elasticsearch.

5. Generative AI Response: The top job postings returned by Elasticsearch are combined with your original query and sent back to the Anthropic Claude model. Here, a custom response is generated, giving you a curated list of job postings that match your needs.

6. User Experience: The result? An effortless chat-like experience that allows you to refine your search or delve deeper into job details, making your journey to finding the right position interactive and efficient.
