We present JobHop~v2, an improved version of the publicly available JobHop dataset, constructed through end-to-end large language model (LLM) extraction from a corpus of ${\\sim}440{,}000$ pseudonymized, multilingual resumes provided by VDAB, the Flemish Public Employment Service. The released dataset comprises $355{,}315$ career trajectories annotated with ESCO occupational codes, quarter-level temporal information, and normalized five-level education attainment, broadening both the coverage and the annotation richness of the original release. Relative to v1, JobHop~v2 introduces a redesigned extraction pipeline based on reasoning-controlled LLM inference with a retry mechanism (achieving a 100% JSON parse rate), a richer extraction schema, and a revised evaluation protocol scored against three complementary annotation baselines. Evaluated against these baselines, our best extractor comes closest to the inter-annotator agreement ceiling among all compared models, trailing it by only 1.1-2.7 percentage points. The dataset and code are publicly released to support reproducible career-trajectory research.","short_abstract":"Large-scale, richly annotated career trajectory data underpins workforce planning, job recommendation, and labour market analysis, yet publicly available datasets are either small, closed to independent use, or built from pre-standardized occupational codes with LLM-synthesized rather than authentic free text.
