Developed by two Wharton professors, Candidate Match uses a diagnostic tool combined with a machine-learning algorithm to identify top candidates for job openings based on your preferences. Candidates are undergraduate seniors from the College of Arts & Sciences, School of Engineering & Applied Science, and the Wharton School.

Since the tool uses data-driven methods to identify candidates, Candidate Match is a useful complement to your existing recruiting strategies.
