ParaAI Matches: a second placement engine for your candidates

The biggest challenge on Paraform is that great candidates slip through the cracks. You might find a strong candidate, submit them to a role, and if that hiring manager rejects them, the candidate is lost - even if they’d be perfect elsewhere. Meanwhile, you’re already busy finding and engaging new talent.

ParaAI Matches changes this.

We've introduced an advanced AI matching algorithm to the hiring-manager side of the platform, creating a new, passive channel for your past candidates to be discovered and moved to interviews.

Turning rejections into new opportunities

When you submit a candidate, you give us a rich set of signals: their background, preferences, strengths, compensation expectations, location needs, and more. If the hiring manager you submitted to decides not to move forward, that candidate doesn’t just disappear anymore.

ParaAI evaluates their profile, experiences, and interests against every open role on the platform.

Each day, for every role, ParaAI Matches analyzes:

• the job description and role requirements
• the intake call transcript
• who that hiring manager has interviewed
• who they have rejected + reasonings
• all candidates in our network

From there, it identifies the strongest 5–10 candidates for each role and shows those profiles directly to hiring managers for them to review and express interest.

This means your candidate can be surfaced to new companies without you having to resubmit or pitch them again.

Your candidate relationships are always protected

Every candidate surfaced through ParaAI has an existing relationship with a Paraform recruiter. When a hiring manager expresses interest, we route the request to the right recruiter - you'll be notified via email and on your homepage to confirm interest and action the submission.

When multiple recruiters have worked with the same candidate, our system ranks them to determine who gets priority. Key factors include the length of your relationship, your interview rate on submissions for that candidate, whether you've kept their preferences up to date, and your track record of actioning submission requests.

We have strict safeguards to keep candidate progression tied to their recruiter and to prevent companies from taking processes off-platform.

Your candidate data makes matching better

For your candidates to be considered in this new hiring manager matching system, their preference data in the platform needs to be accurate -compensation, location, industry interests, roles, etc. The more accurate these preferences are, the more likely ParaAI will recommend them to the correct hiring teams on the platform.

If you haven’t already updated preferences for candidates you’ve recently submitted, this is a great time to start doing it.

A passive engine for more placements

Matches gives you a second placement engine.
You continue sourcing, building relationships with candidates, and submitting to the roles you're closely working on, while ParaAI quietly works in the background to:

• Find other roles your candidates are perfect for
• Get them in front of hiring managers
• Inform you when a hiring manager wants to interview them

If you have questions, we’d love to hear them :)
