In recent years, due to advancement in modern technology and social communication, advertising new job posts has become very common issue in the present world. So, fake job posting prediction task is going to be a great concern for all. Like many other classification tasks, fake job posing prediction leaves a lot of challenges to face. This paper proposed to use different machine learning techniques and classification algorithm like KNN, random forest classifier, multilayer perceptron and deep neural network to predict a job post if it is real or fraudulent. It was Experimented on Employment Scam Aegean Dataset
(EMSCAD) containing 18000 samples. Deep neural network as a classifier, performs great for this classification task. Use three dense layers for this deep neural network classifier. The trained classifier shows approximately 98% classification accuracy (DNN) to predict a fraudulent job post.
OVERVIEW
In modern time, the development in the field of industry and technology has opened a huge opportunity for new and diverse jobs for the job seekers. With the help of the advertisements of these job offers, job seekers find out their options depending on their time, qualification, experience, suitability etc. Recruitment process is now influenced by the power of internet and social media. Since the successful completion of a recruitment process is dependent on its advertisement, the impact of social media over this is tremendous. Social media and advertisements in electronic media have created newer and newer opportunity to share job details. Instead of this, rapid growth of opportunity to share job posts has increased the percentage of fraud job postings which causes harassment to the job seekers. So, people lacks in showing interest to new job postings due to preserve security and consistency of their personal, academic and professional information. Thus the true motive of valid job postings through social and electronic media faces an extremely hard challenge to attain people’s belief and reliability. Technologies are around us to make our life easy and developed but not to create unsecured environment for professional life. If jobs posts can be filtered properly predicting false job posts, this will be a great advancement for recruiting new employees. Fake job posts create inconsistency for the job seeker to find their preferable jobs causing a huge waste of their time. An automated system to predict false job post opens a new window to face difficulties in the field of Human Resource Management.
