Filling the top of a recruitment funnel is often the most labor-intensive part of a recruiter’s job. After considering all the active applications, recruiters also spend considerable time trying to figure out where highly coveted passive candidates are employed — and what might convince them to make a move.
To help solve that problem, ZoomInfo TalentOS is now equipped with Advanced Smart Filters that allow recruiters to fine-tune their candidate search. Finding best-fit candidates with the TalentOS platform has never been easier or more data-driven.
Smart Filters Enable Data-Driven Candidate Searches
Say you’re a recruiter looking for candidates with a specific skill set at a competing company. With TalentOS, you can employ a variety of strategies to find best-fit candidates:
- Build a list of candidates who work at companies with a low company culture score, provided by data from Comparably.
- Assemble a set of candidates based on the maturity of their company or go after employees with startup experience.
- Find candidates based on “Likely to Listen” attributes, such as industry and company turnover, management experience, or specific skill set, the rate at which they change jobs, and even the growth rate at the company they work for.
- Search for skilled engineers based on their experience with front-end, back-end, or full-stack development.
- Sort candidates based on their university’s rankings.
