TalentBin Scores Offer Recruiters Quick Look at Candidates’ Professional Interests

TalentBin recently launched a new addition to its social recruiting solution, TalentBin Scores. They are designed to allow employers to zero in on the candidates most likely to fit their specific skills requirements for their open positions.The new tool provides an in-depth look at how much a candidate exhibits a given professional interest or skill across the web. This feature will better help recruiters and hiring managers quickly evaluate whether or not a candidate is the right fit, which can significantly streamline the filtering process.

The feature allows employers to go deeper into job applicants’ profiles telling employers what they know and to what extent they know this information or have certain skills and interests. Recruiters will also have the ability to compare the various intensities of the same interests between multiple candidates.

“As part of the TalentBin process of interpreting online professional activity to identify the skills that would be relevant to an employer, we naturally discovered that the skills and interests we found were not all at equal strength”, explained Peter Kazanjy, co-founder of TalentBin. “When a recruiter is scanning LinkedIn or other professional profiles, they are lucky to get all the skills they are looking for listed – no less a scale of how deeply a candidate may be involved with a given skill or interest. TalentBin Score was created to solve that problem, providing a quick measure of the strength of those interests.”
