13 of 15: AI that matches expert judgment, and catches what it misses

The context

A hiring manager had already screened 300 resumes by hand and shortlisted 15 candidates for phone interviews. To pressure-test the shortlist, they ran the same pool through Octopyd’s AI Talent Tournament with Ivy.

The results

  • 13 of the manager’s 15 hand-picked candidates landed in Octopyd’s top 30, an 87% overlap with experienced human judgment.
  • Ivy surfaced 3 additional strong candidates that the manual review had overlooked, each ranked high on the Octopyd list.
  • The full 300-resume evaluation ran in a fraction of the time a manual pass takes, with an explainable score behind every ranking.

The takeaway

Ivy’s explainable evaluation closely mirrors an expert recruiter’s instincts, then widens the net so no strong candidate slips through the cracks.
