HR Data Science – Engagement Scoring & Model Explainability

Data Science assignment, Paris / remote.

Pipeline development: machine learning to explain and optimize the HR engagement score (200 questions, 25 years of multi-client data). Migration of the statistical model (GLM): to advanced algorithms (XGBoost, LightGBM, Random Forest). Advanced data cleaning and imputation: (66% missing values), outlier detection, multicollinearity handling (correlation, PCA, regularization). Global and local explainability: SHAP, LIME, sensitivity analysis (Morris, Sobol). Optimization: hyperparameter tuning (Optuna/Hyperopt), business-driven feature selection, cross-validation, custom metrics (RMSE, MAE, R²). Production of dashboards and reports: educational, with personalized HR recommendations.

Contexte & Environnement

Analytics: HR, employee engagement scoring, explanation and prioritization of operational HR levers. Workflows: robust and interpretable ML, clear and actionable reporting.
