New research reveals how ML engineers articulate soft skills on CVs

A new research paper explores how Machine Learning (ML) engineers, data scientists, and software engineers articulate their soft skills on their CVs. The study utilized an LLM-based pipeline to analyze 300 curated CVs, distinguishing between explicitly listed skills and those conveyed through narrative. Findings indicate that candidates predominantly use narrative to express soft skills, particularly for highly valued competencies like leadership, coordination, and mentorship. The research also found that seniority significantly increases the likelihood of articulating leadership skills, and that traditional keyword-based CV screening methods may miss these crucial soft skills.
