Embedded Intelligence
SmartRecruiters offers data insights, AI, and workflow automation throughout the user interface of the system, so that end users are empowered to self-serve information and take intelligent action accordingly. Data insights are readily available where reporting of typical recruiting performance metrics come out-of-the-box and do not require additional configuration, AI is native to the platform to reduce repetitive screening tasks while driving productivity, and automation facilitates scheduled distributions of reports and task notifications to streamline workflow.
Analytics
In order to position talent acquisition as a strategic function, organizations must understand key performance indicators (KPIs) and demonstrate how hiring success impacts business success, using data & analytics. KPIs, including quality of hire, cost per hire, and time to fill accessible in real-time dashboards are hosted within the SmartRecruiters app. For a deeper level of analysis, advanced users can leverage the custom Report Builder function to generate on demand, ad hoc reports using standard and custom fields and schedule recurring delivery as required by an organization.
Historical data is kept in the end user’s personal data mart for easy access to all candidates, job, and user data for downstream reporting and analysis through internal tools.
Artificial Intelligence
Recruiters are overwhelmed with repetitive tasks like resume screening, which decrease efficiency and reduce the time spent with candidates. SmartRecruiters applies machine learning & data science to hiring, where our proprietary algorithms interpret large data sets and learn from candidates and recruiters to detect patterns and provide intelligent recommendations. Our Artificial Intelligence product, SmartAssistant, adds a layer of intelligence on top of your recruiting data and is available as an add-on. See section on SmartAssistant (Add-on Product)
Automation
When it comes to process improvement, SmartRecruiters leverages the data we have about candidates, jobs, and recruiters to provide personalized views, notifications, and activities that aims to improve end user productivity. To maximize candidate relevancy, our system automatically executes live searches across candidates, applications, and jobs for on demand results every time a user logs in. Finally, to ensure adoption of partner solutions potentially required in your hiring processes (e.g., local background check vendor) preferred vendors are surfaced contextually based on the job, location, and your needs.
Pre-Integrated Ecosystem
Pre-built connections and ease of implementation are one of the biggest benefits received via the marketplace. As vendors are accompanied by varying levels of complexity, there are three levels of marketplace integration supported by the SmartRecruiters platform.
-
Marketplace Partners: Native integrations to the SmartRecruiters marketplace. Can easily be activated and come at no additional cost to the customer.

Integration Partners: Pre-built standard integrations with minimal setup required. Costs include an annual fee plus technical support hours for setup & configuration.
