Synapse: Evolving Job-person Fit With Explainable Two-phase Retrieval And Llm-guided Genetic Resume Optimization

Abstract

Modern recruitment platforms operate under severe information imbalance: job seekers must search over massive, rapidly changing collections of postings, while employers are overwhelmed by high-volume, low-relevance applicant pools. Existing recruitment recommender systems typically rely on keyword matching or single-stage semantic retrieval, which struggle to capture fine-grained alignment between candidate experience and job requirements under real-world scale and cost constraints. We present Synapse, a multi-stage semantic recruitment system that separates high-recall candidate generation from high-precision semantic reranking, combining efficient dense retrieval using FAISS with an ensemble of contrastive learning and Large Language Model (LLM) reasoning. To improve transparency, Synapse incorporates a retrieval-augmented explanation layer that grounds recommendations in explicit evidence. Beyond retrieval, we introduce a novel evolutionary resume optimization framework that treats
