- AI agents scan millions of profiles, publications and company records to identify relevant leaders, including passive talent that is not actively looking.
- Natural language processing interprets complex career histories beyond simple keyword matching to surface candidates based on impact, outcomes and context.
- Predictive analytics assess career trajectories, transformation track records and sector experience to prioritize candidates with the highest likelihood of success.
