With a great talent network comes great responsibility: Your portfolio companies are counting on you to make introductions and help them recruit for key positions. But it is no easy task to surface candidates when you’re working with a talent pool that contains 10,000+ potential candidates. As any Head of Platform or Head of Talent can attest, it takes time and effort to comb through a venture capital fund’s vast network, which limits how many founders the fund can help.

Recruiting's Secret Weapon

Imagine a world where you don’t have to sift through hundreds of profiles to find the perfect match for your portfolio companies. A world where you can quickly narrow your search to candidates aligned with the role’s requirements, saving you time and energy. A world where AI can do the sifting for you so you can concentrate on making more introductions

Introducing AI-Powered Matching, a new feature for GetroConnect to help you find more precise candidate matches in less time. 

What is AI-Powered Matching?

AI-Powered Matching is a revolutionary recruiting tool that identifies candidates that would be a good fit for a position’s specifications. It uses artificial intelligence to scan your contact database in GetroConnect and finds matches based on experience, education, location, and more. Whether you’re filling publicly-posted roles or discreetly sourcing for sensitive, private positions, AI-Powered Matching can help you find the right candidates.

And once you find a match, GetroConnect makes it easy to reach out with a personalized message. The feature creates a curated list of potential candidates that match your job requirements, making it easy for you to review and select the best candidates for your open roles.

How Does It Work?

AI-Powered Matching is easy to use! Here’s how it works step-by-step:

  1. Log into your GetroConnect account.
  2. Open a published role (or publish a new one).
  3. Click the “AI Matching” button.
  4. Getro’s AI will analyze the role description and identify key requirements.
  5. The feature will scan your contact database for potential matches. The matches are based on factors such as the contact’s work experience, education, and location.
  6. Review the list of potential candidates and select the best ones for the role.
  7. Reach out to the candidates with a personalized message.

Why AI-Powered Matching is important

AI-Powered Matching is a significant step forward in making it easy to leverage your network for recruiting. It addresses one of the biggest challenges that Heads of Platform and Heads of Talent face: the time it takes to surface suitable candidates for their portfolio companies.

The feature uses Getro’s network intelligence model, which was developed using data from over 400 talent networks with more than 1M candidates across 30+ companies. This means that the model has been trained on a large amount of data and is likely to be accurate in its predictions.

We tested AI-Powered Matching extensively and found that it outperforms other AI matching solutions on precision, relevance, and reliability. We tested using both synthetic data and real data from our customers and our own team’s internal use. We believe this feature will save Heads of Platform and Heads of Talent significant time and effort when recruiting for their portfolio companies.
