AI-Assisted Talent Match Overview

AI-Assisted Talent Match allows you to efficiently evaluate and disposition new applicants by assessing their AI-generated Talent Match and Location Match proximity scores. This will allow you to replace manual screening of resumes and candidate profiles with intelligent algorithms that sort resumes based on how relevant their experience and background are to the job requisition.

Let AI identify how your applicants’ profiles align with the requirements of the requisition. Our AI candidate relevancy match functionality provides you with a standardized and efficient approach for predicting who could be a promising fit. Talent Match helps you identify the applicants you want to invite to interviews and consider first.

Important Information

1. Keep in mind that a resume and a valid job description are required for a candidacy to get a Talent Match score. Only the English language is supported.
2. Talent Match leverages the ClearCompany AI vector model to generate a Talent Match score by comparing skills and job titles parsed from a resume and requisition based on their contextual meaning and relevancy, providing a more accurate match than traditional keyword matching.
3. If you are seeing N/A in your Location Match score, verify if your Requisition has at least one location with a valid postal code and that your candidate has a valid postal code in their Candidate Details.
4. This new functionality promotes candidates within a pre-set distance to a job location, who also have the highest Talent Match scores, to the top of the list.
5. Lists all candidates in the New Applicants macro-stage for this requisition, pre-sorted by their Talent Match and Location Match proximity scores.
6. If a non-open requisition is updated to ‘Open’, the Talent Match score calculation will be initiated for all eligible candidates, provided that the requisition and candidates meet the pre-conditions listed below. Note that such bulk score calculation may take a few minutes and ‘Processing' will be displayed instead of a score in the meantime.

Dashboard Information

Column	Description
Refresh Table	Refresh the table if you have made any changes.
Configure Table	Users can update the default distance by selecting the Configure Table.
Configure Workflow Actions	Default stages can be set up here so when clicking under actions those will be the selected actions.
Candidate	Displays the candidate’s name and their current job title. Selecting the arrow icon next to the candidate name opens the full Candidate Details page in a new tab. The hover-over popup displays the given candidacy’s source and the current workflow stage and date for all other active candidacies.
Talent Match	This column displays the AI Talent Match score for a candidate as a progress bar. This column is used as the primary sort order on the page. It is sorted in descending order by default. (Highest scores at the top, followed by 'N/A'.) The Talent Match score column will be available in all requisitions in the “Open” or “Open, On hold” status. It will be hidden in closed requisitions. Hovering over a Talent Match score will open a popup displaying additional details, including the job titles and skills used in calculating the score.
Location Match	This column indicates whether a candidate's location (i.e., their zip code) is within a configured distance to the job location's zip/postal code that is closest to the candidate. Possible values: '< X Miles Away' or '< X Kilometers Away' '> X Miles Away' or '> X Kilometers Away' N/A' The default distance, X, is set to 30 Miles or Kilometers For jobs in the U.S. and the UK, the distance will be displayed in miles; for all other countries, it will be in kilometers. Users can update the default distance by selecting the Configure Table action located in the top right corner above the candidate table. The hover-over popup displays the candidate’s location and their proximity to the nearest job location. Candidates without a postal code in their address will have 'N/A' displayed in their Location Match field. The Location Match column will be hidden in requisitions that are fully remote, lack a postal code, or have an invalid postal code.
Application Process	Shows the application completion status for the given candidacy as “Not Started”, “In Progress”, or “Completed”. Applications that have been abandoned will have the “Abandoned” status. The hover-over popup displays the application completion status details for one- or two-step applications.
Resume	Allows you to quickly open and preview the resume associated with the current candidacy.
Actions	This option allows the user to quickly disposition a candidate to a pre-configured Move Forward or Decline stage. Default stages can be set on the Configure Workflow Actions modal screen that opens by clicking the Configure Workflow Actions link located in the top right corner above the candidate table. Alternative stages can be selected from the drop-downs in the respective quick actions, in case the user would like to move the candidate to a different, non-default, stage. Hiring managers can only move candidates to the stages for which they have permission.

F.A.Q.

How does the AI work?

The AI doesn't decide who you should hire; it simply provides AI match and location match scores for each resume based on your job description. This helps you quickly sort through candidates and prioritize those most suited for the position.

How are candidates scored/matched?

The ClearCompany AI matching model analyzes candidate skills and job titles in resumes, compares them with job description requirements, and generates an AI Talent Match score. Combined with a location match score, the system promotes candidates who meet both job and location criteria to the top of the list, streamlining the review and selection process.

Location Match is a separate, non-AI score that complements the AI Talent Match score. The feature elevates candidates who meet both job description and location requirements to the top of the list, enabling recruiters to easily review and move forward with best candidates.

What permissions are needed to see Talent Match?

To use this feature, a user must be a Recruiter or Hiring Manager with access to a Requisition> Candidates> New Applicants tab.

To turn off or re-enable this feature in ClearCompany AI settings, a user must have the Talent Admin or HR Admin permissions.
