Recruitment Agencies

The success of your agency depends upon being able to put the right candidate in front of the right opportunity. But with so many candidates and so many openings, it's impossible for frontline recruiters to consider all the possible matches. And conventional search tools make it difficult to find relevant talent from within your internal database. As a result, many of your recruiters bypass the database altogether, posting each new opening on the job boards and waiting for job seekers to apply.

Burning Glass brings dramatic improvement to the way your recruiters process, search for, and screen candidates. Our advanced artificial intelligence was developed expressly for the purpose of matching people with jobs so we put your team in command of the most intuitive and effective tools available. In addition, our resume parsing technologies reduce the time and cost of processing inbound applications so recruiters can focus on the higher value activities they do best.

This all adds up to tangible benefit both for your top and bottom lines. Because our platform helps you put forward a better slate of candidates more quickly, you will see real growth in revenues. And because it helps your staff achieve new efficiencies in processing and screening, you will be able to achieve significant savings.

Parsing

LensXRay™ significantly enhances the way you process candidate applications. Because it handles unstructured resumes in most major document formats, your staff can upload resumes into your database no matter the source: job boards, email, your client's website, etc. We even have an optional mail handling module that will identify the resume either in attachments or in the body of the email and then screen for viruses and duplicates. Automated extraction eliminates the high cost of manual data entry - so you no longer need to retain staff to enter candidate details.

And because resumes are uploaded within 1 to 2 seconds, your recruiters have access to promising candidates up to one week sooner - giving you a big edge in filling vacancies ahead of the competition.

LensXRay™ also helps you make a better impression with both clients and candidates. You are justifiably proud of the candidates you put forward to hiring managers. By reformatting candidate CV's in a custom template, candidates become more readily identifiable as having been sourced from your team and the resumes you send along are easier to read. Parsing also improves candidate experience. By embedding LensXRay™, you can pre-populate candidate application forms or free candidates from completing forms altogether. Burning Glass customers have experienced decreases in abandoned applications of up to 35%.

Searching & Matching

With conventional search tools, the more candidates you have on file, the more cumbersome it is to find relevant talent. A simple keyword search could return hundreds or even thousands of resumes. So your databank goes largely unused.

Burning Glass turns this formula on its head by enabling your firm to leverage the full power of its candidate base and to achieve increasing returns to scale. Because our intelligent search tools are capable of analyzing millions of resumes and postings simultaneously, the bigger your database, the more likely our engine is to find a perfect match. So as your business grows, it can enjoy greater competitive strength as well: with so many candidates on file, you are bound to have the one your client is looking for already.

Many technologies fail to deliver because they demand too much of users. Not only is LensMatch™ the most effective technology available but it is also the most intuitive. LensMatch™ searches directly from unstructured position descriptions - the same ones you post to job boards or receive from hiring managers. LensMatch™ does not require that any complex job profiles be completed so there are no barriers to user adoption. In fact, some recruitment agencies have configured LensMatch™ to display the best matches from the database whenever a job posting is received. Because LensMatch™ returns candidates who look intuitively right for the job, frontline users quickly develop confidence in the results.

LensMatch™ puts a range of tools at your staff's disposal so they can search in whatever way they find most effective. Resume Cloning™ allows recruiters to search more readily based on their intuitive feel for client requirements by finding more candidates similar to one they know to be a good match. Smartlist™ returns candidates with the skills, experiences, and career paths that make them a good match for a free text job description. And for those recruiters who still like keyword searching, LensMatch™ allows them to narrow their search to specific sections of the resume.

Burning Glass also enhances the way you screen applicants. A single ad may draw hundreds of responses. LensMatch™ will score each resume against the job description so the frontline can easily screen out those candidates who simply aren't qualified.

But LensMatch™ actually improves the quality of candidate flow by enabling candidates to find the right positions for them more easily. Rather than asking candidates to search through all of the job listings on your site, LensMatch™ will suggest the most appropriate vacancies based on their resumes. In this way, candidates apply for jobs better suited to their experience. And because recruiters can search more effectively, you can build stronger relationships with passive candidates, alerting them whenever relevant positions arise.

All of this means that you can turn size to your agency's advantage and become more effective as you grow. Our intelligent search technology makes the process of matching people with jobs more scaleable. And by deploying advanced automation to replicate expert judgment, your business becomes less vulnerable to frontline turnover.
