Talroo Brings AI-Powered Innovation to Scale for Recruiting and Staffing Agencies with Its New Enterprise AI-Powered Smart Job Titles

PRweb | July 11, 2023

Talroo, the leading provider of technology to power the recruitment of essential workers, announced today the release of its new Enterprise AI-Powered Smart Job Titles that enables staffing agencies to attract more qualified candidates by using artificial intelligence to optimize job titles. The newly improved feature uses the concept of “seekernomics” where Talroo’s AI implements its learning from macro and micro trends across billions of job searches, and thousands of conversions for similar roles, to inform micro title optimizations for its customers’ campaigns. In just minutes, recruiters can implement A/B job title tests across the jobs in their campaign without updating their company’s ATS, providing more control and flexibility in attracting candidates. “By harnessing the power of AI, our new Enterprise AI-Powered Smart Job Titles makes it easier for recruiting and staffing agencies to attract more qualified candidates by substantially increasing exposure for their jobs,” said Thad Price, CEO of Talroo. “Job titles create a job seeker’s first impression, but by thinking more like a marketer and understanding your job seeker audience, staffing companies can greatly improve their campaigns’ performances by showcasing what is important to job seekers earlier in the application process. This provides better candidate quality by refining the process and expands the reach to new audiences. The results have been impactful, for example, a Connecticut-based Recruitment Process Outsourcing company that implemented our new smart titles saw a significant increase in daily candidates from 250 to 1,500.” Talroo’s new Enterprise AI-Powered Smart Titles offers recruiters and staffing firms the following additional benefits: Works with any existing applicant tracking system feed, including job ingestion integration with Avionte and Bullhorn, or any programmatic job advertising bidding tool’s feed. To inform the generated titles, recruiters need only decide how much weight the system puts on a combination of the job itself, the original title, and the job description using sliders to improve their ad’s clickthrough rate. In just minutes, recruiters can update various jobs in a campaign by simply dragging and dropping a .csv file into the Talroo Ad Platform (TAP). These new titles will run alongside the original title for the platform's Target CPA bidding to optimize towards the highest converting title. About Talroo Talroo is a talent matching platform designed for sourcing essential and hourly workers that companies and organizations are missing out on. Its engine powers millions of job searches every day across thousands of online sites, and uses apply signals from a customer’s ATS to optimize their cost per hire goal. Talroo has earned a spot on the Inc. 500/5000 list of fastest-growing companies for six consecutive years and the Austin Business Journal’s Fast 50 list for five consecutive years. In 2022 it was awarded the Lighthouse Research & Advisory’s HR Tech Award for Best Comprehensive Solution in the Talent Acquisition category; The National Association for Business Resources’ Best and Brightest Companies to Work for in the Nation; The TALiNT Partners’ Tiara Talent Tech Star Awards US; and a Brandon Hall Group Bronze Award for Excellence in the Best Advance in Talent Acquisition Technology category.
