[edit]

Gild's smart hiring platform applies data science, automation, and predictive analytics to every phase of the hiring process to make talent acquisition professionals more effective. [5] The Gild Platform eliminates the manual work that consumes most of a recruiter's time by automating routine tasks like tracking candidates or choosing the right titles and skills to create job reqs that convert. A software-as-a-service (SaaS) platform for Hiring Success Management, it supports the entire hiring process, not just sourcing and outreach.[6]

Unlike other solutions that rely on siloed, static data, The Gild Platform automatically refreshes profile data and applies data science to "learn" as it is used. It adapts familiar, consumer-style technology to processes like finding and rating candidates or instantly sourcing prospects with Gild's recommendation engine. On June 1, Gild expanded the platform with its Business Intelligence for Hiring solution, so users can create custom, role-specific dashboards and implement a comprehensive recruiting strategy without a seperate BI solution.[7]
