Abstract (arXiv)

This paper presents an overview of the second edition of the TalentCLEF challenge, organized as a Lab at the Conference and Labs of the Evaluation Forum (CLEF) 2026. TalentCLEF is an initiative aimed at advancing Natural Language Processing research in Human Capital Management. The second edition of the challenge consisted of two tasks: Task A, contextualized job-person matching, focuses on identifying and ranking the most suitable candidates represented by their resumes for a given job vacancy in English and Spanish. Task B, job-skill matching with skill type classification, addresses retrieving the most relevant skills for a given job title in English and distinguishing between core and contextual skills. TalentCLEF attracted 113 registered teams and received more than 400 submissions in the two tasks, reflecting the growing interest of the research community in shared evaluation benchmarks for Human Capital Management. This paper describes the motivation and organization of the challenge, summarizes the datasets and evaluation settings, and reports the main results obtained by the participating teams.
