In hiring, instincts can only take you so far. Evidence-based evaluation is what separates guesswork from great work. Resumes may all look alike at first glance, especially after hours of skimming through them. However, that couldn’t be further from the truth. In part III of efficient hiring, we will talk about evidence-based evaluation and how it benefits the hiring process.
What Is Evidence-Based Evaluation in Recruitment?
Evidence-based evaluation refers to the process of assessing candidates using measurable, objective data rather than relying on intuition, assumptions, or gut feelings. It ensures that hiring decisions are fair, consistent, and supported by actual evidence – be it experience, education, or relevant skills.
In traditional hiring, recruiter has to be at least slightly knowledgeable in all aspects of the job, especially when it comes to technical skills. Not understanding the difference and connection between MS SQL and MySQL may lead to the elimination of a perfectly good candidate. A recruiter should be able to evaluate resumes and other supporting documents based on specific vacancy requirements with any level of specificity. However, there is a possibility to make this process more efficient and accurate. The answer: using specialized AI recruiting software that will thoroughly analyze the client with all the knowledge in the world behind its back.
Crucial CV Elements in the Report
Talantly.ai is a software for the job. It is built around powerful CV analysis tools designed to simplify and speed up your recruiting process. And not only is it about speed, as Talantly provides hiring managers with thoughtful data-backed decisions, using the power of detailed evaluation and role-specific insights. All you need to provide is a detailed description of the job, and you’ll get a structured, fair, and smooth hiring process that both saves time and improves hiring accuracy.
A detailed report can be accessed through the candidate’s page. To ensure the best results, an evidence-based evaluation is only possible if more than two documents are uploaded. If yes, click on the drop-down menu on the top left and choose “Evidence-based evaluation”.
The detailed report is based on two main aspects:
- Evaluation: how much resume’s claims meet a certain requirement of the vacancy. The tool also highlights the Score that represents this information as a percentage. (e.g., a Bachelor’s degree in Marketing or a related field is a requirement, and the candidate has a Bachelor of Arts, it’s a 100% score).
- Deduction: If the score is less than 100%, the tool explains the gap in the score, highlighting how certain experiences differ from what is required from the candidate.
Each result is supported with contextual excerpts pulled directly from the candidate’s resume or application documents. These quotes provide transparency and traceability, critical factors when making and communicating decisions. And an overall candidate score visually assists the recruiter with navigating the candidates.
Resume Management Made Easy
Traditional systems that rely heavily on side-by-side comparisons or subjective rankings may not always be the best way to make thoughtful decisions. However, using a CV analyzer like Talantly.ai can help structure candidate information in a standardized format, allowing hiring managers to focus on decision-making rather than data interpretation.
