Keyword matching is great for simple Google searches, but when you’re dealing with the complexities of finding the right candidate for an open role, you need more than unintelligent word and phrase matching — you need intelligent matching. Just because a candidate’s résumé doesn’t match the wording on a given job description does not necessarily mean they are not qualified.

The problem with keywords
Any position requires a complex set of skills that cannot be understood by unintelligent HR systems. To compound the problem, job descriptions are often based on templates used in years past and may not accurately reflect the day-to-day responsibilities of roles in today’s digital economy. And job titles are becoming increasingly varied, making keyword searches even less relevant. Simply put, ATS search capabilities have not kept up with the needs of today’s talent acquisition (TA) teams.
And supposed “Artificial Intelligence” may not be much help. Many AI solutions in the HR space today do little more than search keywords in an automated way. To truly use intelligence to maximize recruiting, real, robust AI and machine-learning are needed.
How MojoHire’s AI intelligent matching can help
True Artificial intelligence can help your company identify ideal candidates that you’ve been missing out on. Because Mojohire’s AI is able to go way beyond simple keyword and skill matching. Our AI-enabled matching algorithms—also known as intelligent matching—can recognize and understand strings of text and their relationship to one another as well as context, truly mimicking how a seasoned recruiter would scrutinize a resume. Intelligent matching enables TA teams to find best-fit candidates that would go undiscovered with legacy searches or less robust “AI” systems.
