Monster takes semantic search to the cloud
Monster has thrown open the door to its patented 6Sense semantic search engine, leveraging it in a new product called SeeMore — which allows employers unparalleled views not only into Monster’s talent pool, but their own.
With it, employers can pull candidates off of Monster (whether or not they’ve applied) or of their own applicant-tracking systems, our out of their own employee databases to manage all their talent resources in a single dashboard.
With 6Sense driving it, the dashboard can suggest best matches to specific jobs with a granularity, accuracy and speed we’ve not yet seen anyone match.
Because SeeMore can apply 6Sense analytics to employers’ own data, they get views into their own systems they wouldn’t normally have. If you’re a recruiter, it could be your perfect candidate is already in-house, and you didn’t know it.
