IBM® Watson® Candidate Assistant is an AI and cognitive talent management solution that engages job seekers in personalized career discussions — beyond just qualifications — and recommends positions that fit them best. By building trust and engagement in the first interaction, costly hiring mistakes are avoided and employees become top contributors because they are invested in your organization. Watson Candidate Assistant: - Provides personal job recommendations to the candidate based on IBM’s unique job matching capability: Unlike a keyword search or chatbots with limited conversational ability, Watson Candidate Assistant asks the job seeker about themselves. Job seekers can upload a resume and Watson Candidate Assistant will sift through all job openings and deliver personal job recommendations based on the skills and background of the person. - Answers common questions the job seeker may have: A big part of the candidate experience is understanding whether the company is the right fit for the job seeker. Watson Candidate Assistant is pre-trained on over 60 common questions job seekers ask and is able to provide job seekers with a sense of company culture. - Provides insight to employers through visibility into job seeker questions: Clients are provided with the top questions being asked by job seekers. This provides a unique way for employers to see into the minds of their candidates. Understanding job seeker questions enable employers to adjust their recruitment strategies, responses, and policies to provide a better experience. - Presents rich content to the user: In addition to the conversational interface, Watson Candidate Assistant can present job seekers with rich content like video to increase engagement and get them excited about joining the company.
