What is Machine Learning in Talent Acquisition?

The application of statistical algorithms that learn from historical hiring data to automate and improve candidate sourcing, screening, matching, and selection decisions without being explicitly programmed for each task.

Why it matters in hiring

Machine Learning in Talent Acquisition comes up whenever teams compare candidates, set policy or report on people data. Getting the definition right keeps decisions consistent, which is the same reason springhire scores every applicant against the same criteria rather than on impression.
