The bachelor’s thesis of Tim Maximilian Baum has been awarded the “Fujitsu NEXT Award IT INNOVATION 2024”. The prize is endowed with €3,000 and is presented for outstanding works that develop innovative IT solutions with strong practical relevance.

In his thesis, “Collaborative Creation of Information Texts Together with an Artificial Intelligence,” Tim Maximilian Baum examined how generative language models can support the formulation of functional texts in recruiting. Building on literature and a focus group, he developed a Python/Vue-based web application that assists recruiters in the interactive creation of candidate profiles. The embedded large language model (OpenAI GPT) can extract information from existing documents and generate individualized text modules to improve work efficiency in recruitment. Together with experts, the developed application was evaluated using the Thinking-Aloud method and subsequent interviews. The thesis stands out for its high scientific quality and direct practical benefit, as practitioners were actively involved in both the design and the evaluation.

Congratulations to Tim Maximilian Baum on this special achievement!

The thesis was supervised at the Chair of Information Systems, Socio-Technical System Design (Prof. Dr. Eva Bittner) by Izabel Cvetkovic and Lucas Memmert.
