Sprockets uses AI-powered insights to help hiring managers make smarter, data-driven decisions. By analyzing an applicant’s experience, skills, and personality fit with top performers, Sprockets assigns scores that simplify the hiring process. This guide breaks down the key scoring components and how to use them effectively.
1. Sprockets Score (Match Score)
What it is: A 1-10 AI-generated score that predicts how well an applicant aligns with your best employees.
How it works: Uses behavioral data, hiring trends, and personality analysis to assess fit.
Where to find it: Displayed at the top of the applicant profile.
✅ How to use it: Prioritize candidates with higher scores (8.0+) and review those with lower scores (<5.0) more carefully.
2. AI Scores (Strengths & Weaknesses Breakdown)
What it is: AI-generated subscores evaluating an applicant’s experience, reliability, and teamwork.
How it works: Each AI Score focuses on a different aspect of the candidate, providing deeper insights.
Where to find it: Located in the AI Scores section of the applicant profile.
AI Scores contribute to the overall App Score.
