Understanding Our AI Job Matching System

Here’s the deal: our AI doesn’t just look for keywords. It dives deep into skills, experience, culture fit, location preferences, and even communication styles. Honestly, it’s like having a recruiter who knows exactly what you’re about and what you’re looking for.

How the Matching Algorithm Works

The system builds a “compatibility matrix” using factors like:

• Skill proficiency and depth of experience
• Work styles and company culture alignment
• Geographic and remote work preferences
• Career growth direction
• Interaction patterns on the platform

And here’s the kicker: every successful hire through Offered feeds back into the AI, making future matches smarter and more relevant.

Real-Time Matching Process

When a job is posted, the system jumps into action fast. Within minutes, it screens, analyzes, ranks, and notifies top candidates. This real-time approach means you don’t have to wait weeks to see quality matches.

Simplifying Interviews with Automation

Interviews can be a headache, especially scheduling. Our interview automation handles that hassle for you.

Scheduling Made Simple

We integrate seamlessly with your calendars—Google, Outlook, Apple—and handle time zones, preferences, and even buffer times between interviews. Whether it’s a quick phone screen or a lengthy technical assessment, scheduling adapts to your needs.

AI Interview Assistance

Our AI supports interviewers by taking notes, tracking questions, suggesting follow-ups, and flagging concerns. It’s not about replacing people but making interviews more consistent and insightful.

Setting Up Your Account and Profile for Best Results

Getting your account set up right is key to unlocking the platform’s power. The registration process is straightforward for both job seekers and employers.

Registration Process

2. Select your account type: job seeker, employer, or agency.
3. Complete email verification (phone verification for employers).
4. Start building your profile with detailed info.

Profile Optimization Tips

Profiles that get the best matches usually have:

• Detailed work history and achievements
• Skill levels clearly stated
• Career goals and preferences spelled out
• Culture and work style preferences included

Employers should provide thorough job details, company culture info, and realistic salary ranges to help the AI make sharp matches.

Keeping Your Data Safe and Private

We know data security is a top concern. That’s why every user gets granular control over what’s visible and how long data is retained.

Privacy Controls

• Visibility settings let you decide who sees your profile
• Manage how long your info stays in the system
• Opt in or out of sharing data with partners
• Control interview recording permissions

Compliance and Security

Our platform meets major standards like GDPR, CCPA, SOC 2, and EEOC guidelines. Sensitive data is encrypted end-to-end, and we regularly undergo security audits to keep everything locked down.

How We Address Bias in AI Matching

Bias in hiring is a real challenge, and we’ve built several safeguards into our AI to prevent it from creeping in.

Bias Prevention Measures

• Employers can choose blind matching to hide names and photos initially
• Our AI is trained on diverse datasets to avoid reinforcing biases
• We regularly audit the system and adjust algorithms when needed
• Transparency reports help employers understand match reasons

Ongoing Monitoring

We track success rates, interview ratios, salary offers, and time-to-hire to catch any patterns that might suggest bias. If issues arise, we tweak the models to keep things fair.

Advanced Matching and Employer Analytics

The AI behind Offered is powered by machine learning models that go beyond keywords to understand context, behavior, and skill gaps. This makes the matches way more relevant.

Machine Learning at Work

Some key models include:

• Natural Language Processing for understanding job descriptions and resumes
• Behavioral prediction based on successful hires
• Skills gap analysis to find candidates who can grow into roles

Employer Dashboard Insights

Employers get a real-time view of job posting performance and candidate pipelines, including predictive analytics to forecast time-to-fill and offer acceptance likelihood.

Managing Time Zones and Scheduling Across the USA

Working nationwide means juggling time zones, and we’ve got that covered.

Automatic Time Zone Handling

The platform detects your time zone automatically but lets you adjust manually if needed. Scheduling respects your availability, adds buffer times, and sends reminders in local times.

Multi-Location Coordination

For companies with offices in different zones, the system displays all participants’ times, respects business hours, and even accounts for holidays to avoid conflicts.

Troubleshooting and Getting the Most Out of Offered

Matching Quality Issues

If matches seem off, try reviewing your profile and preferences. Too broad or too narrow criteria can mess with results. Also, keep your profile complete to help the AI do its job.

Technical Troubleshooting

• Login issues? Clear your cache or try incognito mode.
• Missing notifications? Check spam folders and settings.
• Calendar sync problems? Make sure permissions are granted.
• Video interview glitches? Test your hardware beforehand and use recommended browsers.

Communication Tips

Keep messages clear and use built-in scheduling tools to avoid confusion. If a match isn’t responding, the system will suggest alternatives after 48 hours automatically.
