The human arsenal can accommodate a host of different elements, but at the same time, it cannot accommodate anything more significant than that desire of ours to improve at a consistent pace. We say this because the stated desire has already fetched the world some huge milestones, with technology appearing as a rather unique member of the group. The reason why technology’s credentials are so anomalous is purposed around its skill-set, which was unprecedented enough to realize all the possibilities for us that we couldn’t have imagined otherwise. Nevertheless, a closer look should be able to reveal how the whole runner was also very much inspired from the way we applied those skills across a real world environment. The latter component was, in fact, what gave the creation a spectrum-wide presence and made it the ultimate centerpiece of every horizon. Now, having such a powerful tool run the show did expand our experience in many different directions, but even after reaching so far ahead, this prodigious concept called technology will somehow keep on delivering the right goods. The same has grown to become a lot more evident in recent times, and assuming one new HRM-themed development pans out just like we envision, it will only propel that trend towards greater heights over the near future and beyond.
hackajob, a full-stack technical hiring solution, has officially announced the launch of two innovative features designed to increase diversity and representation in technology teams. According to certain, the first feature here leverages the enormous generative AI potential to eliminate bias from job descriptions. Practically speaking, employers can upload their job descriptions to the hackajob platform. Once they do so, the AI technology in play will jump to action by performing an extensive assessment of the content. This, in turn, should then allow it to put-together suggestions that are going to be geared towards making your content much more inclusive. In our second feature, hackajob is expected to take diversity data from around 80% of tech talent joining the platform and use it for the purpose of assisting businesses in fulfilling their Diversity and Inclusion (DE&I) objectives. Notably enough, sharing your data is outright optional, but given hackajob’s confidentiality pledge, 80% of users have decided to opt in. Anyway, when creating a job post, employers can select their individual DE&I objectives, and hackajob will prioritize matching candidates with these characteristics. Of course, other skills and essential criteria will also be taken into account. Hold on, we aren’t done yet. Almost as a bonus, hackajob is also bringing a third important feature, which is a powerful insights platform designed to provide DE&I performance data at every stage of the hiring process, You see, having such in-depth information should let employers measure the impact of their new job descriptions, brand presence, and sourcing objectives on every stage of their hiring funnel.
“These exciting new features exemplify hackajob’s commitment to creating a more diverse and inclusive tech industry. By utilizing the power of AI, we’re helping our clients build better teams, and ultimately, a better future,” said Mark Chaffey, co-founder and CEO at hackajob.
In case the whole value proposition still doesn’t sound attractive enough for you, then it must be mentioned how the company is already working on more features to help employers effectively gauge the way their behavioral patterns, during the recruitment process, affect the eventual diversity of their hires.
Founded in 2014, hackajob has climbed up the ladder by making it possible for employers to directly source talent through a two-sided marketplace, while simultaneously conceiving a strong brand. With over 500k tech professional users at moment, the company’s proprietary platform offers everything from a medium to conduct online assessments or holding interpersonal interviews to generating insights about your diversity and inclusion posture. These insights carry a certain amount of weightage, as they are supported through over 50 million first-party data points on technical professionals that leverage proprietary AI models to enable companies to get an 85% response rate. Not just that, the companies using this platform can also reduce the number of applications to make a hire by 7x.
Beyond employers, though, the platform also helps candidates to learn new skills, participate in community events, and establish a more direct communication with potential employers.
