Context招聘人员和从业者越来越依赖开发人员的在线活动来寻找合适的候选人。过去的实证研究已经确定了技术和软技能，管理人员在做出招聘决定时使用在线同行生产网站。然而，寻找具有相关技能的候选人对管理人员来说是一项劳动密集型任务，因为在线同行生产网站包含大量信息。我们设计了一个个人资料聚合工具Visual Resume，它可以聚合两种类型的同行生产网站的贡献信息：代码托管网站（GitHub）和技术问答论坛（Stack Overflow）。Visual Resume显示开发人员贡献的摘要，并允许轻松访问他们的贡献详细信息。它还通过基于卡片的设计促进候选人的成对比较。我们提出了这样一个设计的动机和设计准则，用于创建这样的招聘工具。基于评估，以确定参与者如何使用开发人员在同行生产网站上的在线贡献，以及他们如何使用视觉简历时，作出招聘决定。结果我们的分析有助于确定技术和软技能线索，最有用的，我们的参与者时，作出招聘决定在线生产场地。我们还确定了参与者使用的信息功能以及参与者访问该信息以选择候选人的方式。ConclusionsOur结果表明，视觉简历有助于参与者更有效地评估技术和软技能的线索，因为它提供了候选人贡献的汇总视图，允许深入了解有关贡献的详细信息，并且允许通过可移动的卡片容易地比较候选人，所述卡片可以被布置为匹配参与者的需要。
ContextRecruiters and practitioners are increasingly relying on online activities of developers to find a suitable candidate. Past empirical studies have identified technical and soft skills that managers use in online peer production sites when making hiring decisions. However, finding candidates with relevant skills is a labor-intensive task for managers, due to the sheer amount of information online peer production sites contain.ObjectiveWe designed a profile aggregation tool—Visual Resume—that aggregates contribution information across two types of peer production sites: a code hosting site (GitHub) and a technical Q&A forum (Stack Overflow). Visual Resume displays summaries of developers’ contributions and allows easy access to their contribution details. It also facilitates pairwise comparisons of candidates through a card-based design. We present the motivation for such a design and design guidelines for creating such recruitment tool.MethodsWe performed a scenario-based evaluation to identify how participants use developers’ online contributions in peer production sites as well as how they used Visual Resume when making hiring decisions.ResultsOur analysis helped in identifying the technical and soft skill cues that were most useful to our participants when making hiring decisions in online production sites. We also identified the information features that participants used and the ways the participants accessed that information to select a candidate.ConclusionsOur results suggest that Visual Resume helps in participants evaluate cues for technical and soft skills more efficiently as it presents an aggregated view of candidate’s contributions, allows drill down to details about contributions, and allows easy comparison of candidates via movable cards that could be arranged to match participants’ needs.
