HOMOGENIZING TIME-BASED SENIORITY SIGNAL WITH TRANSITION-BASED SIGNAL

摘要

A seniority standardization system may be configured to derive seniority values in the context of an on-line social network system. In order to determine a seniority rank of a given professional title, a seniority standardization system may leverage transition data, which is information that may be gleaned from a member profile with respect to the member's transition from one professional position to another. A seniority standardization system may also use time-based seniority signal. A time-based seniority value, which may be assigned to a particular professional title, is the amount of time that it typically takes to achieve a professional position represented by that particular professional title.
