Finding Smart Hires, Fast with isolved Talent Acquisition + Indeed’s AI Talent Scout

By Heidi Barnett, President, isolved Talent Acquisition 

I’ve been fortunate in my career to work with countless business owners, incredible recruiters, human resources (HR) professionals and even candidates. Through those conversations, there’s one clear takeaway: hiring is hard. In fact, 62% of leaders report having difficulties finding qualified talent, making recruitment one of today’s biggest workforce challenges. To help, Indeed Talent Scout uses a golden combination to surface top matches faster by combining Indeed’s database with isolved Talent Acquisition.

With a seasonal hiring rush on the horizon, it’s essential for business owners and their recruitment teams to move quickly on promising candidates. However, in many cases, HR teams are inundated with resumes, struggling to find the perfect candidate for the role fast enough. As a result, candidates are feeling exhausted and burnt out—putting businesses in danger of turning away customers because hard-to-fill positions remain open.

A Scout to Guide You 

At isolved, we’re committed to helping businesses like yours hire top talent quickly with software and services that assist recruitment teams in navigating hiring challenges with ease. This includes deep partnerships with job boards to improve visibility and exposure of open positions.

One of the strongest partnerships we have is with Indeed, the number one job site in the world. In fact, for three years in a row isolved has been named an Indeed Platinum Partner. This status is awarded based on integration quality, customer impact and performance. Through isolved’s partnership with Indeed, our customers, or People Heroes as we like to call them, now have access to new and exciting functionality within their ATS: Indeed Talent Scout.

Meet Indeed Talent Scout

Indeed Talent Scout is an intelligent talent agent that provides insights to help recruiting teams improve job postings and increase visibility with best-fit candidates. Recruiters can leverage Talent Scout to refine candidate match criteria with job requirements, quickly see how candidates within their ATS match the criteria and easily identify top applicants. For example, if a recruiter is hiring for a sales manager role, Talent Scout can analyze the job posting and suggest adjustments to attract more qualified candidates. It can then surface the strongest applicants already in the ATS who match the updated criteria, allowing the recruiter to focus immediately on top talent instead of sifting through hundreds of resumes.

While Talent Scout analyzes existing applicants and compares it to the job criteria, recruiters can also leverage Smart Sourcing to find new candidates.  Smart Sourcing provides a shortlist of matched candidates from Indeed’s pool of millions of job seekers, which is delivered based on information collected from the job seeker—like skills, experience and preferences. From there, recruiters can evaluate their list with artificial intelligence (AI)-powered candidate summaries that highlight skills and gaps. This makes it simple to decide if the candidate is a good fit. If they are a good fit, recruiters can use editable AI-generated messages to quickly reach out and invite them to apply. It’s also important to note that the technology uses natural language to refine the match profile and dynamically learns as recruiting teams interact with it.

 Plus, for those struggling with too many candidates, Talent Scout can help narrow down the applicant pool so recruitment teams can progress the perfect candidate quickly. Additionally, recruitment teams can seamlessly jump to different sections of the ATS when using Talent Scout, helping them get to where they need to go with fewer clicks.

Put simply, Talent Scout enables businesses to hire smarter and faster.

People Hero Experiences: Shorter Time-to-Hire

Several People Heroes, what we call isolved customers, were invited to experience Talent Scout as part of the alpha program and all experienced improved time-to-fill as well as a better overall experience for their recruitment teams and candidates.

Here’s what Mike DeMoully from Crescent Community Health Center had to say about the technology helping fill roles with passive candidates:

“I quickly learned Indeed Talent Scout would help with passive recruiting, which we were unable to effectively do. One position, Pharmacy Tech, is a very hard-to-fill position within our pharmacy.  I only receive a few applicants each time I have it open. I asked Talent Scout to source some passive candidates for me.  It found me four, two of whom applied.  Of the two, we hired one and the second one is scheduled for an interview this week.

The quality of the candidates was very good and the hire we made has turned out to be a great addition to our team.  I went from zero candidates to adding in these two to others that applied directly.  In this case, Talent Scout allowed us to find and hire this particular Pharmacy Tech in less than 20 days—usually it takes us that long to just find candidates who apply normally.”

Streamlining Recruitment

For businesses looking to fill specialized roles and reach passive talent, Talent Scout integrated within isolved’s ATS delivers. Recruitment teams benefit from AI-guided shortlists from Indeed’s network, stronger match quality and a cleaner path from job listing to offer letter.
