Hi Dana,
 
Hope you’re doing well! Have a big data story I thought you would be interested in. 
 
I’m working with HireVue, a digital recruiting platform, that is leveraging big data and technology to launch a recommendation engine. It's similar to Netflix’s movie recommendations, but instead of movies, companies find their best matches for open job positions. HireVue's new technology is based in part on analysis of previous hires and analyzing the candidate's video interviews. HireVue will announce their Insights candidate and interviewer recommendation engine technology – this week on July 17. All information is under embargo until then.
 
A few points:
HireVue’s data science team developed a set of proprietary algorithms that leverage big data to identify and recommend candidates by analyzing over 15,000 attributes :
Feedback and data is also analyzed for the company and becomes “smarter” and increasingly accurate in suggestions over time
HireVue Insights can be used to interview candidates globally, eliminating time difference and travel barriers that often slow down the interview process
Chipotle used HireVue’s technology in beta and reduced their conversion rate from 1 in every 10 candidates being hired, to 1 in every 4 - they also reduced their interviewing time by 61% 
Are you interested in connecting with executives from HireVue and Chipotle to learn more about how the technology works?
 
Looking forward to your thoughts.
 
Thanks,
Kristen
