Wizehire Scout is your AI-powered hiring assistant—designed to help you make smarter, faster hiring decisions. Two key Scout features help you understand and improve the performance of your job posts: Candidate Forecast and Job Health.


📊 Candidate Forecast

When you create a job post, Wizehire Scout may show a Candidate Forecast—a predictive estimate of how many applicants you’re likely to receive. This forecast is based on data from thousands of similar jobs on our platform.

How it works:

  • The forecast appears automatically when we have enough data for your job title and location.

  • If we don’t have sufficient data, you won’t see a forecast—but competitive pay and clear value propositions still go a long way.


📉 Job Health

After your job has been live for 7 days, Scout will generate a Job Health score to show how your post is performing compared to the forecast.

What you’ll see:

  • A bar graph on your dashboard tracking actual vs. expected applicants

Unnamed
  • Clicking on the bar graph will produce slide-out panel with tailored recommendations to help improve your post’s visibility and results (e.g., adjust title, pay, or job location)
