Abstract
Disclosed in some examples are systems, methods, and machine readable mediums which provide for a forecasting service that, given a query that specifies job posting features produces one or more forecasted metrics for that job posting information over a particular period of time for a pay-per-click job posting model. By providing forecasting metrics, it allows job posters an ability to plan with a degree of certainty how much a particular job post is going to cost given a bid. Moreover, the metrics may visually show an expected value to the job poster for posting the job on the job posting service.
Claims21
A method for providing a job posting service, the method comprising:
- at a computing device of the job posting service, using a processor:
- creating a time series model for forecasting a metric of a given job posting, the time series model created from interaction data describing interactions by members of the job posting service towards job postings on the job posting service;
- receiving a request from a user for a forecast of the metric for a new job posting;
- determining the forecast of the metric for the new job posting using the time series model and job posting features of the new job posting;
- and
- causing the forecast of the metric to be displayed on a computing device of the user.
A machine-readable medium comprising instructions, that when performed by a machine, cause the machine to perform operations comprising:
- creating a time series model for forecasting a metric of a given job posting, the time series model created from interaction data describing interactions by members of a job posting service towards job postings on the job posting service;
- receiving a request from a user for a forecast of the metric for a new job posting;
- determining the forecast of the metric for the new job posting using the time series model and job posting features of the new job posting;
- and
- causing the forecast of the metric to be displayed on a computing device of the user.
A system comprising:
- a processor;
- a memory communicatively coupled to the processor and comprising instructions, that when performed by the processor, cause the system to perform operations comprising:
- creating a time series model for forecasting a metric of a given job posting, the time series model created from interaction data describing interactions by members of a job posting service towards job postings on the job posting service;
- receiving a request from a user for a forecast of the metric for a new job posting;
- determining the forecast of the metric for the new job posting using the time series model
- and job posting features of the new job posting;
- and
- causing the forecast of the metric to be displayed on a computing device of the user.
