A Human-Centric Framework for Fair Job Recommendation Leveraging Generative AI and Data Augmentation
摘要
Online recruitment platforms play a critical role in enabling job seekers to access employment opportunities. However, many job seekers actively browse and apply for positions but receive little feedback, reflecting a fundamental challenge of unequal information access in digital labor markets, especially for information-disadvantaged users with sparse interaction histories and biased exposure. To address this challenge, this study proposes PA2Rec, a human-centric and generative AI enhanced framework that improves fair job information access through data-level augmentation. PA2Rec integrates a multi-attribute job filtering mechanism to construct high-quality candidate opportunity sets, leverages large language models to generate pseudo-interaction samples that expand users’ accessible opportunity space, and incorporates fairness-aware prompt tuning to mitigate systematic exposure bias. Experiments on the public Zhaopin (https://tianchi.aliyun.com/competition/entrance/231728/information.) dataset demonstrate PA2Rec significantly improves recommendation accuracy and fairness, especially for information-disadvantaged job seekers. The results highlight the effectiveness of generative AI in augmenting information access and advancing human-centric recommendation systems in online recruitment.
