When it comes to hiring, finding the best candidate is a top priority. Often, though, companies suffer an influx of applications that can make it difficult to find a starting point and easy to overlook top candidates, especially as labor shortages and disruptions drive demand for external workers.
The AI-powered resume analysis capabilities in SAP Fieldglass can help bridge this gap. When the company configuration 'Assess job seeker resumes using AI' is enabled, the application uses Machine Learning to parse through resumes by objectively comparing its contents to keywords provided in the Job Posting description. This Resume Assessment feature gives hiring managers an edge in their hiring process by evaluating how closely a resume matches a job's requirement, and:
- Assesses job seekers by matching the skills they've listed on their resumes to those on the job description.
- generates an assessment for each candidate to determine how well their skills and professional experiences align to a job posting.
- highlights the technical and soft skills on the candidate’s resume so hiring managers can see at a glance if a candidate possesses desired expertise.
This functionality then displays a score to reflect the assessed values, which can be categorized in the following manner:

- Great Match: Job seeker’s skills and experience align perfectly with the job posting requirements.
- Better Match: Job seeker is a good fit, but there may be some skills or experience that is lacking.
- Good Match: Some skills and experience match the job description, but there are several requirements that the job seeker does not meet.
- Weak Match: Job Seeker is lacking a majority of the job posting’s requirements
- No Match: Job seeker does not have any necessary qualifications needed for the job.
In addition, the algorithms in SAP Fieldglass Contingent Workforce Management remove personal information to help avoid unconscious bias and drive confident decisions grounded in business data.
