Gild, the company that powers the way companies find, engage, and hire talent with data and intelligence, today announced availability of the industry’s first end-to-end smart hiring success platform. The Gild Platform brings together all the elements companies need for hiring and applies data science, consumer-friendly technologies, and predictive analytics to every phase of the talent acquisition process. With a platform that automates routine processes and helps users make better hiring decisions, companies can now focus on hiring the right people from all functions and industries for the right roles faster and more effectively.

The software market for the HR industry is overflowing with inflexible systems and legacy technologies that don’t deliver the data or processes modern companies need to compete,” said Zach Lahey, Research Analyst at Aberdeen Group. “Thankfully, we’re starting to see that change with a new wave of Hiring Success Management solutions. These innovators are adapting scientific breakthroughs in fields like e-commerce and consumer products to make finding, interviewing, and hiring the right candidates easier and smarter.”

Conventional hiring systems and processes are manual, repetitive, and slow. In fact, more than 80% of a recruiter’s time today is spent on low-value, repetitive tasks. The Gild Platform revolutionizes hiring by incorporating the principles of Hiring Success Management into every step of the hiring process, so companies can spend more time on high-value, strategic tasks like building their employer brand. Inspired by today’s popular consumer technologies, The Gild Platform applies the same type of data science, predictive analytics, and automation to hiring to ensure data is always fresh, processes are intuitive, and real-time collaboration is easy.

Hiring is really hard work,” said Sheeroy Desai, CEO of Gild, “and a recruiter’s job is time-consuming, exhausting, and rarely appreciated. We don’t think it needs to be that way anymore. That’s why The Gild Platform uses the latest data science and predictive technologies to give hiring teams super powers that make them more effective. And by eliminating the mindless side of hiring with automation, we’ve freed recruiters and hiring teams for the first time to work smarter, collaborate more easily, make better hiring decisions, and focus on important things like showcasing their employer brand and building relationships with hiring teams and candidates.”
