Princeton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 10/07/2020 -- Can online tests be made completely cheat-proof while guaranteeing the test-takers' privacy? This is a problem that educational institutions and online learning platforms have grappled with for long. Now, as is demonstrated by uLearn, an AI-based proctoring solution for online educators, this problem finally has a solution.

Be it in the form of MOOCs on e-learning platforms or live video lectures by their university professors, students across the world have taken well to the idea of learning from the comfort and safety of their homes. However, one aspect of remote learning has remained the cause of concern among a lot of remote learners -- online proctored exams.

Although exams have always been the cause of jitters for a lot of students, the sense of being constantly monitored through a webcam exacerbates the test taker's anxiety even further and can also affect the performance of the test taker. Online proctoring is also known to include software applications that monitor browser activity and may have access to the user's computer and data, which is no less discomforting. Educators, however, have very few other options for keeping online tests fair and free from malpractice. What is even more challenging is to find such solutions that are inexpensive to acquire and maintain.

To resolve this deadlock between maintaining fairness, privacy and cost-effectiveness, uLearn automates the invigilation process and minimizes unnecessary intrusion into a student's personal environment thereby respecting their privacy. It uses machine learning for constant browser, screen, and video monitoring to ensure that students adhere to defined protocols. uLearn automatically flags any attempt to engage in unauthorized activities such as blocking the webcam or microphone, navigating away from the test screen, or even looking away from the test screen. uLearn's artificial intelligence is sensitive to diversity and is trained to ensure zero discrimination. It also ensures that none of the data that is collected before or during tests is misused, thereby addressing the problem of encroachment on privacy.

Emphasizing uLearn's focus on test takers, Jeenal Ganatra, the Marketing Head of uLearn.io says, "uLearn has been developed with a secure and non-intrusive approach to online proctoring, and the biggest challenge for students attending proctored exams is the "creep factor" that can be quite unnerving. uLearn eliminates this and ensures that the proctor's role is limited to invigilation and does not turn into intrusion, as might often be the case with a traditional approach. Also, considering the economy and budget constraints that institutions and students are facing in this pandemic, it was pertinent for us to use technology with minimum human intervention to enable us to price it modestly as compared to other alternatives and benefit as many students as possible."

What makes uLearn highly desirable for educators, other than its secure vigilance, non-invasiveness and reasonable pricing, is that it can be easily integrated with existing Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Canvas, etc. and involves a minimal learning curve for users. Moreover, the solution is completely automated and hence is highly scalable, making it capable for use with thousands of students at a time.

GoPost - an AI-based tool that optimizes job postings and automatically publishes them on Google for Jobs.

Princeton, NJ -- (ReleaseWire) -- 11/21/2019 -- Extending its twenty-year-long track record of developing industry-leading recruitment solutions, Talismatic has just unveiled its latest breakthrough, GoPost - an AI-based tool that optimizes job postings and automatically publishes them on Google for Jobs.

The rise of Google for Jobs has presented employers across the world with a wide range of opportunities, such as increased reach and visibility for job postings on Google. It has also, however, spawned its own set of challenges in the form of increased competition and the need for making job postings search engine-optimized. Making it to the top of Google for Jobs listings requires advanced AI algorithms to optimize job description for the job posts, giving an edge over competitors to help find the right talent- all of which is too much to ask of recruitment teams.

GoPost offers a simple yet effective self-service model, allowing employers to post jobs directly to Google for Jobs with complete optimization. The platform's 'Job Engine Optimization' capability optimizes all job data without the need for any manual coding. GoPost's job tagging platform identifies the most relevant and commonly used search phrases used by candidates to find specific jobs. The platform's machine learning algorithms embed these search terms as tags into job postings to ensure that the posts are indexed and become highly discoverable by Google for Jobs. The algorithms are specifically tuned for the recruiting industry to make job posting easy. GoPost also makes the process of job application easy with the help of its Direct Apply feature that leads candidates directly to the employer's career site.

Early adopters of the platform have taken well to GoPost and are reporting a tangible boost in their recruitment outcomes. Within the first month of adopting GoPost, leading global companies such as Zycus, Ultria, TTEC, and one of the world's largest travel company, have witnessed a near-instant improvement in ranking and candidate flow through Google for Jobs.

"To hire the right talent, the recruitment industry needs to focus their efforts more towards providing a better experience to the candidates. For us, this is done by GoPost. They automate our whole hiring process that happens through Google For Jobs. Our job postings are now highlighted better on Google For Jobs, thanks to GoPost. The platform is extremely easy to use and allows us to post our jobs on Google directly. Not only have we seen a growth in the number of Job applications coming to our career site, but we also have seen an increase in the inflow of good quality candidates for critical positions. We have opted for a yearly subscription with GoPost and are looking forward to a long-term partnership." said Ritika Mal, Manager HR, Ultria.

Explaining the rationale behind developing GoPost, Christy Samuel, Product Manager for the platform said,

"With about 73 percent of all job seekers starting their job search on Google, the rules for how job postings appear in Google Search have been completely changed. At Talismatic, we believe in developing tools and technologies that can make it extremely easy for recruiters and talent acquisition teams to post their jobs to Google directly. GoPost has the potential of assembling and analyzing essential data for job postings that can transform any company's HR function in innumerable ways. It is smart, quick, and uncomplicated. It eliminates guesswork and creates a platform for well-designed, well-thought-out recruitment drives."

Princeton, NJ -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/13/2017 -- What does a great recruitment strategy look like? Until a few years ago, recruitment departments measured their performance using the help of a mere headcount. With the emergence of big data and analytics, brands slowly learned to harness the power of numbers to gain traction in their marketing and customer relationship modules. Gradually, this trend spilled over into other avenues of a company's interaction with its environment. Workforce management was realized as a key contributor to the society's perception of a company & almost overnight, terms like 'work culture' and 'employee satisfaction' became means to attract the best talent in a candidate-driven market. Now, organizations faced the dual task of maintaining an employee brand image and balancing it with an optimal hiring methodology. All these factors gave rise to the growing giant we now know as recruitment analytics.

Thanks to analytics, there evolved a system to translate recruitment efficiency into tangible terms. Today, a recruiting professional can avail scores of statistical support to put together a well-oiled hiring system. If anything, the problem is no longer a lack of information but that of 'too much information' presented in an unorganized format. What are the most reliable sources that provide only the necessary blend of information required to make the right decisions? One recently launched product promises to address this very problem – Talismatic, the recruitment intelligence tool that provides planning analytics, competitor insights as well as information on any industry's current hiring performance.

A first-of-its-kind in the competitive recruiting intelligence sphere, Talismatic promises a constant feed of competing firms' hiring information to its users. It hopes to provide recruiters with a timely and cost effective solution to finding the relevant industry data they need to forge informed hiring strategies. Clarity on a competitor's recruitment patterns will boost competencies that recruiters often struggle with – avenues such as head-hunting, job positioning and competing vacancies stand to benefit the most out of the data provided through Talismatic. What's even more appeasing is the ready display of these facts on a single screen; so, where recruiters would browse for hours to find out data on a single competitor, Talismatic does it in a matter of seconds for a multitude of competitors. Other insightful gems include information on a competitor's job closing times, skill levels of their employees, the positions they're currently looking to close for any outlet and their closing success rates.

And that's not where it ends. Along with a user's handpicked competitor-information, Talismatic offers data that can assist a recruiter with the actual task of planning a hire. A talent density map that enlightens hiring stakeholders on which locations they should target in order to extract maximum value within limited recruitment budgets. It sheds light on the company's hiring strategy by giving a blow-by-blow breakdown on each of its own open positions and hiring performance. This is then compared vis-a-vis its entire industry to grant a better idea of where they stand now and what the benchmark should be. This kind of direction provides hiring departments with measurable ways to split their annual budgets, forecast accurately and predict substantial changes in the job-market that will propel recruitment to a new-age.

The origins of Talismatic are deep-rooted within the field of recruitment where there was always a gaping divide between recruiters and their targeted talent pools. Even when analytics came into play, there was no concrete picture that captured the recruitment landscape as a whole. We caught up with Talismatic's product manager, Mr. LoveKshitij Suryavanshi who said "Recruitment is based on external & environmental entities just as much as the department's competence. We wanted to create a tool that would extend the dimensions of a recruiter beyond their organization and make them see the larger picture. We believe that our data will add leaps and bounds to their hiring process and fill in the gaps they've been facing for so long." He also adds that the product has seen tremendous response from the upper echelons of the HR hierarchy which suggests that the product is not only viable from a recruiter's standpoint but also from that of an overall planning perspective.

When asked about Talismatic's vision, they foresee it as both, an everyday assistance as well as a catalyst for the pre-hiring cycle stage. "We would like recruiters to begin their day with the insights they receive from Talismatic as well as be an indispensable part of their yearly planning. We'd like to be known as the go-to product in competitive intelligence for recruiters" said LoveKshitij. Talismatic has just begun its run and from the onset, seems to be a dynamically evolving product. Already, they are working on inseminating a whole lot of new features that will further boost the recruitment process.

In order to begin with Talismatic, a potential user can visit their website and fill a simple login form. The smart tool then requests names of competitors alongside a prompt of potential competitors based on industry. A recruiter has the option of picking their competitors as per their discretion. To find relevant data on planning hires or competitor intelligence, one simply has to select the job title they are seeking and click the search button. Talismatic will then proceed to give out data to assist their planning at any stage. Right now, Talismatic's target market is comprised of SME's and larger corporations who wish to derive clarity on their hiring processes. One might say that all the stakeholders along the hiring chain can chunk out data from Talismatic to build efficiency and roll out better strategies.
