Talent acquisition

Candidate Rediscovery

Semantic search resurfaces qualified prior candidates whose profiles match a new requisition.

ProductionEvidence: Weak

The problem

Strong past applicants sit dormant in the ATS while recruiters source externally for similar roles.

The opportunity

Less time on lookup. A person still owns anything that affects someone's job.

What the solution does

Semantic search resurfaces qualified prior candidates whose profiles match a new requisition.

How it works

Embeddings index historical applications and resumes; a new job description triggers ranked rediscovery lists with match rationale.

Stale data, inherited bias, and privacy rules. Name a human who is accountable for career-affecting answers.

What implementation requires

Start with one process. Agree how you will score it. Involve legal and HR before you scale. Track whether people use it, not only whether the model is accurate.
