AI agent for candidate sourcing and talent rediscovery

AI candidate sourcing and talent rediscovery is AI that builds and works the candidate pipeline before an application arrives, for recruiters filling open roles. It matches open roles against a company's own past applicants sitting unused in the applicant tracking system, ranks and surfaces the best fits for a recruiter to approach, and optimizes career site content and outreach to attract more of the right applicants, instead of a recruiter starting each search from an empty external search or a job board.

AI agent for drafting employee performance reviews

Performance review drafting is an AI agent that gathers an employee's work history, goals and peer feedback and drafts a first version of the performance review for a manager. It draws on the systems the manager already uses, and the manager edits, rewrites or rejects the draft, so they start from a grounded summary instead of a blank form and six months of context to recall from memory.

AI for compensation governance and pay equity analysis

AI that checks an organization's pay decisions for unexplained gaps by gender, race or other protected characteristics. It statistically analyzes pay data, and at the point a recruiter or manager sets a starting salary, a raise or a promotion increase, it checks the proposed number against pay bands and equity rules and flags a decision before it creates a new gap, instead of finding it in next year's audit.

AI for employee attrition prediction and retention analytics

Employee attrition prediction and retention analytics uses machine learning to score each employee's risk of resigning, for HR and managers. It scores that risk from HR, performance, engagement and compensation data, surfaces the factors driving it for a manager or HR business partner, and feeds an aggregate view of where attrition is concentrated, so retention effort goes to the people and teams most likely to leave instead of being spread evenly or applied only after someone resigns.
