Alternatively, a profile with the information may be generated for the individual based on the identifier and an information source. Using the information, an affinity metric of the individual with the organization is calculated, such as a number of employees of the organization who know the individual or who attended a same educational institution as the individual. Moreover, the affinity metric is used to determine whether to include the individual in the group of potential candidates to join the organization. In this way, the analysis technique may facilitate more-efficient recruiting efforts. | 06-19-2014 |
