Summary

Talentpuddle provides you with a fast and competitive way to change how you recruit internally.

We believe your best candidates may already be in your ATS, only you can't quickly identify and engage with them.

Talentpuddle leverages machine learning to analyse your existing ATS or HR data with current job requirements, to identify all possible candidate matches using competencies, not just keywords or job titles.

Talentpuddle delivers this in real time enabling recruiters to instantly identify the best candidate for a role, whether sourced internally or externally.

For internal hiring, Talentpuddle allows employees to see what roles they match to, increasing internal mobility and lateral moves based upon their transferable skills, revealing roles they might not have otherwise considered normally.

As you would expect, we help you to embed this exciting technology into your existing recruitment processes, ensuring you get value from day one.

10.6.2017 Call Notes

Craig Dougherty


Here's my notes:


  • Candidate matching software
  • Early stage development (basically says he'll build it to suit our specific needs). Hasn't quite proven  any ATS integrations, but they're working on them.
  • Working on chatbot technology to help walk candidates through the process
  • Candidate Experience (if no ATS integration)
    • Create Login
    • Upload a resume or LinkedIn Profile
    • Candidate can modify the parsed work experience, skills, languages, etc… manually
    • Matching jobs are presented to the candidate
  • Recruiter Experience
    • Pick a job
    • Shows candidates and their match rate (green, yellow, red)
  • ATS Integration
    • Can grab candidates from your ATS and show their match rates
    • From a candidate perspective, the web portal grabs jobs from your ATS to show matching roles to the candidate
    • Can pass match rates back to the ATS so a recruiter can see them when viewing candidates
  • RPO Process
    • Would make the most sense to do individual client deployments and integrations into their ATS and CRMs
    • Would have to have a universal system across all clients with career portals for each client
  • Differentiators
    • ATS agnostic (competing against ATSs with built-in matching)
    • Does not necessarily believe his matching algorithm is the real selling point, except that it matches on skills instead of just job titles, etc..
  • Believes using Talent Puddle for internal employee promotion/ job change matching (particularly for a large organization) is one of the biggest benefits
As a follow-on to our call, I have attached a summary of the talentpuddle product.
As you will have guessed this is a new venture.  We have agreed in principle with a software vendor to deploy talentpuddle on a global basis and once we have signed terms I'll get more details to you.
Their configuration is to 'match' from Taleo and then fire into Avature to do the outreach (you can email directly from Talentpuddle) to ensure there is as little disruption to the existing process as possible and to capture more potential candidates that are of interest.
With this in mind, it would be useful to think about which of your clients use Taleo and think about how Talentpuddle could be useful to them.  Happy to be part of that sales conversation either with the client but more likely with the client facing teams.
It covers some of the key questions but just for clarity:
  • Our REST API’s can be integrated into most ATS platforms (Taleo, Kenexa, iCims, Lever, Greenhouse plus others).
  • The way in which our API is structured (and documented) we haven't had any issues to date with any ATS but are wary of over commitment, just in case one of your clients is doing something unusual.
  • We are working on our own plugin-ins for iCims, Taleo, Kenexa and Workday but these are not live yet.
I would be really keen to move to the next step to either run a pilot on WilsonHCG's own ATS or to identify a client that could be a 'quick win' for both of us
