Project poster

Machine Learning and AI are increasingly powering the products in the world. With a small talent pool scattered around the country, how can companies find leaders to help build the next big thing? In partnership with Amazon’s Strategic Recruiting Team, the project provides a revolutionary tool to enable recruiters find the right talent in niche areas of applied sciences. The tool gathers information about prospective candidates, explores their social connections and understands the spread of talent communities in the United States. The insights help recruiters engage with the right candidates and match them to the right roles within the organization.
