ABSTRACT

Each year, eligibility screening is conducted for more than 840,000 applicants for the National Technical Qualification examinations. This screening helps ensure that the qualification tests effectively verify the skills and knowledge required for actual job performance, and it is an important procedure for guaranteeing that certified individuals possess competencies appropriate to the qualification. However, the screening period is very short—within five days—and the process is carried out largely through manual work by reviewers. As a result, there is a risk that the consistency and quality of screening decisions may vary depending on each reviewer’s level of proficiency and work experience. To address this issue, this study aimed to improve the consistency and quality of eligibility screening by automating the process using state-of-the-art AI technologies, including large language models (LLMs) and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). RAG has recently been recognized as an effective approach for mitigating hallucination problems in LLMs and for improving accuracy. In the system performance test, the accuracy showed top-1 0.72 and top-3 0.83, and the weighted average performance test top-1 showed precision 0.73, recall 0.72, and F1-score 0.72, confirming excellent performance. In addition, it is significant to present a methodology for judgment automation based on the accumulated screening data, laying the foundation for the innovative development of the screening process. In addition, solutions were proposed for the limitations of development, such as the need for information security in the public sector.
