UpScored is an online talent marketplace that uses data science to connect candidates to their best-suited jobs – decreasing job search time by 90% and delivering ultra-personalized results. Who has time for the noise on LinkedIn and Indeed? UpScored shows candidates jobs they’re most likely to get – in less than 2 minutes.For employers, UpScored connects hiring teams to the candidates they’re most likely to place. Our proprietary algorithm formulates a score that reflects the fit of a job seeker’s resume against a company’s job description. The right candidates for each role are surfaced to the top, saving companies time and headache. The idea originated from the Founding Team's past experience building the Big Data Strategy Group at SAC Capital, a $10bn multi-strategy fund. After leaving the firm, the team trained their algorithms on +600,000 resumes and developed machine learning functionality that adapts to user preferences.
