The Future Is Now, How APIs and Machine Learning Can Change Talent Acquisition

Earlier this week in San Francisco, Jibe participated in a Google press event and the launch of new machine learning APIs for the Google Cloud Platform. Specifically for enterprise HR, Google announced its Google Cloud Jobs API which understands which of a company's jobs best match a jobseeker's preference. For talent acquisition leaders machine learning might seem like something out of a sci-fi movie. Simply put, machine learning is software programs that get smarter and make better recommendations as they are exposed to more data. Examples of machine learning are recommendations for Facebook friends, Netflix movies, AirBnB listings or Amazon products.
