Auto-Calibration for Talent Tracking positions

DATE:
AUTHOR: The Eightfold team

WHAT'S INCLUDED

In Talent Tracking, recruiters and hiring managers create requisitions directly in the product rather than importing them from another system. Auto-calibration enriches each requisition with inferred signals — ideal candidates, relevant skills, preferred job titles, and expected experience — that power search quality, candidate recommendations, and AI matching. This update calibrates a Talent Tracking requisition as soon as it's saved from the intake form, including drafts, so new requisitions no longer start with thin or incomplete calibration. Talent Tracking live customers need to turn this on from Admin Console > Talent Tracking> Position> Settings> Creation. New customers will have this on by default.  

WHY IT MATTERS

  • Requisitions created in Talent Tracking are now calibrated automatically on save, so search and recommendations reflect the role's real skills and ideal candidates right away.

  • New and draft requisitions no longer start with thin calibration and missing skills, removing the manual step of editing a requisition just to trigger useful matches.

  • Signals used for matching — skills, job titles, ideal candidates, and expected experience — stay consistent across requisitions whether they originate in Talent Tracking or from an integrated source.

Requirements

Talent Tracking in use for requisition creation, the feature enabled for your tenant (on by default), and a complete job description on each requisition.

GETTING STARTED

Admins: No configuration is required. The feature is on by default for Talent Tracking. For existing tenants, Eightfold enables it as part of a scheduled release rollout. After it's on, confirm that newly saved requisitions show populated skills, job titles, and ideal candidates on the calibration view. Read Auto-Calibration for Talent Tracking positions to know more.

End users: Recruiters and hiring managers create and save requisitions in Talent Tracking exactly as they do today. Calibration now runs automatically in the background shortly after each save, so matched candidates and search results appear without any extra step.
