1. Scoring API: New Scoring Algorithm Tailored for Recruitment Firms and Agencies

We're excited to announce our latest Scoring Algorithm specially designed for the Recruiting Industry.

The “Recruiter Industry” Scoring Algorithm is tailored to the needs of agencies serving diverse customers across various industries and candidates from different backgrounds.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

Meeting diverse needs as a recruiter, especially when working in an agency that serves multiple clients, can be particularly challenging for several reasons:

1. Varied Client Requirements: Each client has different expectations for skills, experience, and cultural fit, requiring recruiters to understand and adapt to each unique demand deeply.
2. Candidate Expectations: Balancing candidate career goals and preferences with client needs.
3. Multiple Roles and Industries: Recruiters must be knowledgeable across various sectors and job functions, adding complexity to their role.

What sets this algorithm apart from others in our Scoring Marketplace is its sophisticated approach to integrating the job placement histories of similar roles with different specifications from one customer to another, ensuring each client's unique requirements are precisely met.

2. Python SDK: Introducing the add_folder() Function for Batch Profile Parsing

We are pleased to announce a new function in our Python SDK designed to parse large batches of profiles efficiently.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

• Efficiently parse large local folders of resumes.
• Manage retries and handle failures with the argument move_failure_to
• Control parsing progress and optimize rate limits with the argument show_profress

3. Python SDK: Integrating Pydantic for Profile and Job Objects

Our HrFlow.ai Python SDK has been updated to include Pydantic schemas for managing Profile and Job Objects.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

Key benefits of this update include:

• Effective Object Management: Enhances object definition, data validation, serialization, and error handling.
• Accelerated Development: Speeds up the integration of HrFlow.ai Profiles and Jobs objects into your application.

4. Python SDK: Introducing Rate Limit Management

Our HrFlow.ai Python SDK has been updated to include rate-limit management.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

Our users can now control the flow of requests to the Profile Parsing API Endpoint.

5. Python SDK: New Function to Generate Parsing Evaluation Reports

We are pleased to announce a highly anticipated update to our Python SDK, enabling our users to generate reports that evaluate the quality of our parsing models.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

With the new capability to generate parsing evaluation reports, HrFlow.ai users can:

1. Assess the Accuracy of HrFlow.ai parsing models (Quicksilver, Hawk, Mozart) to select the most suitable one for their specific use case.
2. Identify Improvements with each monthly product release to continuously enhance performance.
3. Compare Models by evaluating our state-of-the-art models against competitor performance, ensuring the best choice for their needs.

6. Job Upskilling API: Introducing Jobs Recommendations Explanation

We are excited to introduce the Job Upskilling API, which replaces our previous Job Reasoning API released in 2018.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

The Job Upskilling API is an explainable AI (XAI) solution that generates a SWOT matrix for candidates. This matrix helps candidates understand jobs recommendations by analyzing the skills gap between their profile and the job, alongside labor market best practices.

7. Text Imaging API: Enhanced Accuracy and 5x Faster Speed

We are excited to introduce the latest version of our Imaging API. Version 2 enhances scene generation capabilities, offering pixel-perfect backgrounds that improve application conversion rates on career websites and job boards.

• Scene Generation for Job Descriptions: We now exclusively generate high-quality images representing work environments, skills, and tasks, specifically excluding faces, to avoid bias.
• Enhanced Image Accuracy: Images are now more precise and aligned with job description details.
• Faster Processing Times: Image generation is now five times quicker

8. Profile Upskilling API: Introducing Profiles Recommendations Explanation

We are excited to introduce the Profile Upskilling API, which replaces our previous Profile Reasoning API released in 2018.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

The Profile Upskilling API is an explainable AI (XAI) solution that generates a SWOT matrix for recruiters. This matrix helps recruiters understand profiles recommendations by analyzing the skills gap between jobs and the profiles, alongside labor market best practices.

9. Profile Parsing API: AI-Powered File Type Identification

We are excited to announce significant enhancements to our Parsing API with a new AI model that quickly and efficiently identifies file types.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

Thanks to the following improvements, our users can now accept a broader array of document types:

• Better handling of incorrect formats
• Improved management of corrupted files

10. Profile Parsing API: New Endpoint to Report Errors & Defects

We are pleased to introduce a new API endpoint to simplify the reporting of errors and inaccuracies in Profile Parsing results.

😍 Why it’s a big deal for HrFlow.ai users?

If you are an HrTech company utilizing our Profile Parsing API, you likely allow your users to edit parsed results before saving. We have developed an endpoint that enables you to send us the versions edited by your end-users.

Additionally, you can use this endpoint to create a form through which your users can report observed errors directly to our API.

The feedback provided will be used to refine our parsing process, helping to eliminate such errors in the future.
