We automatically collect information about how you interact with our platform, including search queries, features used, pages viewed, time spent on pages, and other diagnostic data. This helps us improve our services and user experience.

How We Use Your Information

We use the information we collect for the following purposes:

AI and Machine Learning

Our platform uses advanced artificial intelligence and machine learning algorithms to analyze employee data and provide matching recommendations. Here's how we handle your data in our AI systems:

  • Employee data is processed to create vector embeddings for similarity matching
