Section 2: Features of our Recruitment CRM

As a provider of audience intelligence solutions, ExactBuyer is committed to providing the best recruitment CRM experience for its users. Here, we'll discuss some of the unique features of our recruitment CRM that make us stand out from the competition.

Behavioral analytics to identify and mitigate bias

Our recruitment CRM features behavioral analytics that actively work to eliminate bias in the hiring process. By using data-driven insights, our software analyzes the way hiring managers evaluate candidates to identify and mitigate any biases that may be present. This ensures that candidates are evaluated solely on their skills and qualifications, regardless of factors such as race, gender, or ethnicity.

Job description analysis to remove gender-specific language

We understand that the language used in job descriptions can often discourage certain groups of people from applying. To combat this, our recruitment CRM uses analysis tools to detect and remove gender-specific language from job descriptions. By doing so, we make sure that job postings are inclusive and welcoming to everyone.

Diversity reports

Our recruitment CRM generates real-time diversity reports that allow users to measure the diversity of their candidate pool and track progress over time. This makes it easy to identify areas where more work needs to be done and to set diversity goals for your hiring team.

Candidate sourcing from underrepresented groups

Our recruitment CRM also prioritizes sourcing candidates from underrepresented groups to ensure a diverse pool of candidates for hiring managers to evaluate. Our database contains over 270 million verified candidates with direct emails, mobile phones, and social details, and we offer an AI-powered search tool that makes it easy to find candidates based on skills, interests, past work history, and more. This ensures that users can find the best candidates for the job, regardless of their background.

Overall, our recruitment CRM is designed to provide an inclusive, bias-free environment for the hiring process, resulting in more diverse and qualified talent pools for companies to choose from.
