Kenya’s leading job matching platform BrighterMonday ,has launched a new ‘Relevance Ranking’ feature that uses an in-built matching score to rank applicants according to their relevance to the job description allowing the recruiting company to view the best-qualified applicants right at the top of the list in a matter of seconds.
The new feature is aimed at simplifying the process of recruitment as less time is spent reviewing candidates who have applied, and the most relevant ones are shown at the top in rank order.
According to BrighterMonday CEO, Chris Otundo, this is done as soon as a job listing is published, giving the recruiter faster access to a pool of qualified candidates and the added value of leveraging BrighterMonday’s database of highly qualified candidates outside of those who have already seen and applied for the job, giving the recruiter the ability to connect with the ideal candidates in seconds.
The platform has also added a ‘Recommended Candidates’ feature that suggests the ten most suitable candidates that match the role published on the platform, and the recruiter can invite them to apply.
The recommendation feature leverages BrighterMonday’s robust database of job seekers to handpick the top ten most suitable candidates for the role.
Once a job listing goes live, the algorithm scans the database and generates a list of the most eligible and qualified candidates based on the job requirements.
Employers can then invite these candidates to apply for the job opening, making it easier to reach the most eligible candidates and speeding up the recruitment process.
“With these new features, employers can focus on finding the best fit candidates for their job openings in a faster, more efficient, and more accurate manner”. Said Chris.
The tech-driven job matching company is changing the way recruitment is done in the country, and many companies are responding well to the solutions it offers to the market.
Data shared by the company show that there are over 40,000 employers on its online platform and over 1,000 talents in various roles on a monthly basis.
With a job seeker audience of over 800,000 candidates, the firm is currently the leading recruitment portal in Kenya, in addition to being part of The African Talent Company.
