AI models are transforming how we understand jobs and skills, but progress is slowed by scarce and scattered public data. Today, information is fragmented in isolated datasets and ontologies, making it hard to compare results or build on each other’s work. In a rapidly evolving AI landscape, this fragmentation holds back collective advancement. WorkRB aims to fix this by creating a shared research ecosystem where every contribution strengthens many others.

WorkRB, you say? 🐝 ‍

The Work Research Benchmark (WorkRB) is a new open-source evaluation toolbox that brings everything you need into one place. It bundles datasets, ontologies, and baseline models in a single, easy-to-use toolkit, so anyone can quickly assess how well their model understands jobs, skills, and work related tasks. Its modular design makes it simple to scale across many tasks and languages, giving researchers and practitioners a shared foundation.

‍

What you can do with WorkRB

The toolkit covers a wide range of evaluations, including job-skill matching, normalization, extraction, and similarity. The built-in multilinguality aims to reflect the wide spectrum of languages in today’s global workforce. With ready-to-go baseline models and extensible interfaces, WorkRB lowers the barrier to entry for anyone who wants to evaluate their AI model capabilities.

Community-driven!

As the field evolves at high speed, building shared foundations is a continuous effort. We expect strong momentum in the coming months as contributors from all corners of the ecosystem enrich the benchmark with new datasets, ontologies, and models. To catalyze this growth, Techwolf is launching WorkRB alongside a community paper that welcomes impactful contributions from academia, industry, and government. Our goal is to unite these communities around a common benchmark that elevates the entire field of work related AI.

Join the effort

With WorkRB, we hope to build a trusted, open benchmark for work related AI that accelerates progress across the entire ecosystem. This is only the beginning, and we invite everyone interested in the future of work and AI to take part.
