AI-Powered Natural Language Search for Attorney Vacancies

1. Introduction

Attorney community prospects is an all-in-one platform connecting the legal industry. Attorneys, law firms, in-house legal departments, government agencies, and search firms leverage the platform to stay connected and make informed career and hiring decisions. With a vast database of attorney vacancies, the company faced a challenge in making this valuable information easily accessible.

2. The Problem

Despite having a comprehensive database of attorney vacancies, users struggled to find relevant opportunities efficiently. Traditional search methods were inadequate due to:

‍

  • Complex legal terminology and job descriptions
  • Varied user search intentions and skill levels
  • The need for precise matching between job requirements and candidate qualifications
  • Time-consuming manual filtering of search results

‍

Users often had to sift through irrelevant listings or use complex boolean searches, leading to frustration and missed opportunities.

3. The Solution

I developed an AI-powered natural language search system across attorney vacancies databases, enabling users to find relevant opportunities using conversational queries.

‍

Key features:

‍

  • Natural language query interpretation
  • Intelligent matching of user intent with vacancy details
  • AI-generated summaries and comments on search results
  • Interactive refinement of search queries through natural language dialogue

‍

Tech Stack:

‍

  • Python+Flask backend
  • OpenAI GPT API
  • MySQL (client’s database)
  • Cursor and Git for version control
  • Docker for containerization

4. Development Process

The project was completed over an 8-week period, involving the following stages:

‍

  • Requirement gathering and database analysis (1 week)
  • Design of natural language processing pipeline (2 weeks)
  • Implementation of search algorithms and AI integration (3 weeks)
  • Testing and refinement of prompt engineering (1 week)
  • User experience testing and final adjustments (1 week)

‍

Key challenges included:

‍

  • Adapting general-purpose GPT reasoning to the specialized legal domain
  • Ensuring accuracy and relevance of search results for complex queries

5. Technical Overview

The system operates through the following process:

‍

  • Query Interpretation: The user's natural language query is processed using OpenAI GPT to extract key search parameters and intent
  • Database Search: Custom algorithms translate the interpreted query into optimized searches across the vacancy database
  • Response Generation: AI generates a summary of the results, including comments on relevance and suggestions for query refinement
  • Interactive Refinement: Users can further refine their search through natural language dialogue, with the system adapting its understanding based on user feedback

6. Results and Impact

The new AI-powered search system improved how users interacted with the vacancy database increasing efficiency and ease of use.

Conclusion

By bridging the gap between complex data structures and user-friendly interfaces, we've not only improved the user experience but also enhanced the overall value of the platform within the legal industry.
