Replying again because this question occurred to me: At what point in the hiring process do you expect these references to be used? If I'm a hiring manager getting ~200 applicants per opening, there's no way I'm reading ~2,000 of these references individually. But if I'm only requesting references for candidates who've passed the resume screening process, the bias in that part of the hiring process will remain. Will you provide tools for hiring managers to use NLP, etc., to allow for automated/aggregated reference-based screening?
- annawangx 8y agoThanks for the question. Our process can plug in during the resume screen or after an initial screen. Once the references are completed, we provide high level summaries and recommendations for which candidates have the strongest fit for the position. This gives the hiring manager better data while still saving time. The full references are available if the hiring manager wants to dive deeper. These recommendations are based on on both quantitative ratings and open-ended questions like working style and ideal environment. We do use tools to help automate the recommendation calculation, but also currently human QA because we want to get these recommendations right when we're early-stage.
