Records / Negotiation levers

Recruitment software firms build their models on their own customers' records, de-identified or aggregated, and on public profiles; none of those read says it licenses an agency's placement history from outside

Eightfold lists past applicants, hiring outcomes, stage definitions and ATS data among the enterprise data its platform uses, beside resumes, career pages and social profiles, and says the platform runs on a global data set of more than 1.6 billion careers. Greenhouse's AI terms take a licence to use customers' inputs and outputs, in de-identified form only, to train its machine learning models, and say it will not use personal data to train them. Workable may use aggregated data from customers' use of its service to improve it, and owns that aggregate. Bullhorn's AI Assistant addendum lets it use customer data in that feature to develop and improve it. None of the pages read offers to license a recruitment firm's records from outside, so the paying buyers of such records remain the AI data buyers that name the field.
