Talent Sourcing

Identify alternative talent pools for hard-to-fill roles.

Overview

Recruiters, employers, or organizations serving employers can highlight opportunities to expand and/or diversify their talent pipelines by identifying non-traditional jobs from which to recruit. Our model will recommend occupations that require similar skillsets, including those that don’t look similar on the surface.
