What Recruiters Can Learn From Marrying Pre- and Post-Applicant Data

Cornerstone On Demand

As a writer, social media-centered millennial and marketer working in the talent acquisition industry, I've learned to take comments left on social media with a grain of salt.

The evolution of the dataset – why it’s not just about the algorithm

Hireability

Pause to consider why it is that Wall St. is all abuzz about ‘quants’ and the use of algorithms. Or why major brokerage houses announce their application of artificial intelligence with ‘robotic’ advisors to manage your finances. Although these PhDs in mathematics and physics are no doubt, rocket scientists, and while their algorithms are yielding results, it is not the algorithm, per se, that is the basis for the success, but rather, the dataset.
