Millions More Are Flowing into Artificial Intelligence for Talent Acquisition (and Other Recruiting News)

I haven't said much about Workey for a few months. It has raised another $8 million and is opening up a New York office, focusing on NY as well as on San Francisco. The Israeli company says it worked with Amazon, Dell EMC, Oracle, and Yahoo during its Beta. Among Workey's features is one called social power: "Workey will promote your anonymous profile based on your connections, and suggest which friends can vouch for you for each opportunity." I monkeyed around with Workey a bit, and one interesting feature is that next to job listings, it pops up little notes indicating you're reasonably qualified, like "your proven record on Twitter puts you ahead of the pack for this opportunity."
