And I shared it for the same reason. It's like the Dan Lyons book but with substantially more facepalm.

    1 For 1 is an innovative new company building out a robust text analytics platform for actively matching job candidates with job postings. We are using entity extraction, natural language processing and machine learning to provide the matching.

    The platform will be built to scale to 100M's of candidates and 100M's of postings.

    The system will initially provide unsupervisored matching at which point the candidate (or posting) can start to tailor the results with likes and dislikes at which point we will use supervisored algorithms.

So... "machine headhunting." Apparently they're unaware LinkedIn already does that.
