Candidate Search

Overview

Candidate Search enables partner Applicant Tracking Systems and other HR Tech vendors to power features that recommend best-fit candidates for a job. The partner provides candidates.

End users search for candidates by detailing a target Job which describes the attributes of an ideal candidate (preferred skills, education, and more), and filter(s) which restrict the candidate pool (on location, education, and more). End users are presented with candidates who have the skills, work experience, and education to be successful in the job.

For each recommended candidate, AdeptID provides a Match consisting of assessments of work experience, skills, and education; a summary assessment, a skills report describing skill gaps and overlaps, and a narrative explanation of the match quality. The full details of the match help end users understand the "why" behind each recommendation.

Partners provide candidates through one or more private candidate feeds. The feed defines the pool of candidates for a given candidate search. The feed contents are independent of each other, fully managed by the partner. A candidate search targets a single candidate feed.
