New Changes to TalentRank
Friday, October 28, 2011 at 1:08PM 
It's taken us a long time and many iterations to develop the right algorithms for sorting candidates. As a company that is mapping the global human capital pool of billions of individuals, we're constantly adding more signals to our TalentRank algorithm. Nuance is everything when trying to winnow 100 million candidates down to the right 20.
One of the conclusions based on user testing is that we should offer several solutions and let the recruiter decide which approach delivers the best candidates for them. This is why we will allow recruiters to sort candidates to use our aggregated algorithms that look at dozens dimensions, but also allow them to sort specifically on the dimensions that are of most import to them.
In practice, what does this look like. Let's look at John Sumser @johnsumser vs. Felix Wetzel @felixwetzel vs. Bill Boorman @billboorman. Our system has given them very similar professional engagement scores.
