Revolutionizing Referral Hiring by Integrating GenAI for Smarter Matching and Automation

About the Client

A leading referral-based hiring platform is transforming recruitment through innovation and efficiency. It helps companies expand talent pools, improve candidate quality, and speed up hiring timelines. By integrating with existing systems, it enhances engagement, internal mobility, and diversity hiring. This solution empowers organizations to optimize every stage of the talent acquisition process.

The Challenge

A referral-based hiring platform aimed to elevate its job matching capabilities to better serve its mission of improving access to opportunities. However, the existing system lacked advanced scoring logic, consistent skill taxonomy, and full utilization of feedback and automation—limiting its potential to deliver high-quality matches and satisfaction for both candidates and employers.

The Solution

An advanced job matching solution was introduced, built on a recommendation engine that uses embeddings to generate match scores based on real success indicators. The system also employed NLP to standardize and consolidate skills, enhancing accuracy and consistency. Additional improvements included leveraging employer feedback, automating targeted outreach, tailoring job postings, and using Generative AI for resume extraction—creating a more intelligent, efficient, and scalable hiring experience.

The Result

Optimized Job Matching: Implemented a scoring model to provide accurate and reliable candidate-job matches.

Streamlined Skill Classification: Leveraged NLP for consistent skill standardization, improving matching accuracy.

Enhanced Employer Engagement: Incorporated feedback and automation for tailored job postings and targeted outreach.

Future-Ready Foundation: Prepared the system for advanced AI integrations, such as Generative AI for resume extraction and further automation.
