Provided are systems and methods for recommending job opportunities via a machine learning engine which is coupled to an enrichment pipeline. The enrichment pipeline can add skills information and other beneficial data to enrich a job profile of a user and use the enriched record to predict an optimal job opportunity or set of opportunities. In one example, the method includes receiving a description of employment data, identifying a unique identifier of a job profile based on the description of the employment data, querying a database with the unique identifier to retrieve a list of skills from the database and that are mapped to the unique identifier, transforming the list of skills from into a skills vector, determining one or more optimal job opportunities via execution of a ML model on the skills vector, and outputting information about the optimal job opportunities via a user interface.
