FAQs
- Can candidate matching replace recruiter review?
- No. Matching can help surface candidates, but recruiters should review evidence, context, and job requirements before decisions.
- Should candidate matching automatically rank applicants?
- Automatic ranking should be treated carefully. Buyers should require visible criteria, reviewable evidence, human oversight, and documented controls before using rankings in decisions.
