<p>Zara Tam loves building things that make an impact. Now at Verve, she was formerly a product manager at Founders Factory, where she led a revolutionary AI recruitment product called Chosen. Built with the latest machine learning and search technologies, Chosen can help recruiters to find brilliant talent in a matter of minutes.</p>
<p>In this ProductTank London talk, Zara shows how AI can transform the time-consuming processes that companies face when they scout for talent. Zara’s product provides an AI-powered service with a enormous database of candidates at the touch of a button. Zara explains that if a recruiter finds a promising profile on LinkedIn, they can “copy the profile URL and put it into Chosen&#8221;. The inbuilt AI will return a comprehensive list of similar candidates based on information from that profile, and the legwork of the search is complete.</p>
<h2>How Does it Work?</h2>
<p>Chosen requires an enormous amount of data to work, so Zara and her team gathered 400 million candidates from nine million companies. The language-processing AI software extracts relevant information from this database, then sorts the candidates based on the following four categories:</p>
<h3>1) The Role Title</h3>
<p>The AI can sort the list of candidates into senior or generic-level piles.</p>
<h3>2) Function</h3>
<p>Chosen analyses the profiles by industry and by speciality.</p>
<h3>3) Size</h3>
<p>The software can sort profiles based on the size of company they work for. It separates people from big and small businesses, and can identify a start-up or scale-up background.</p>
<h3>4) Time</h3>
<p>Chosen analyses how much time the candidates have spent in each role, be it a general role, a product management position, or a senior management role. If recruiters would like to hire an experienced member, they can see the time in industry straight away.</p>
<h2>What’s Next?</h2>
<p>As Zara and her team refine their AI, she continues to share their learnings with product people. She says:</p>
<ol>
<li>Sprinting doesn’t work! Trial and error and research takes time.</li>
<li>You can find ways to put your data scientists in the shoes of your users.</li>
<li>As a product manager, try to understand how AI works, not just why.</li>
</ol>
