Lone Wolf Technologies has announced the launch of Recruit, real estate’s first recruiting solution that helps brokers find the best talent and who represent the best fit for their brokerage.  Recruit is a new solution that leverages AI, machine-learning, and data science to identify agents who are a best fit for a brokerage. With Recruit, brokers can create custom search profiles based on the traits of their best agents. Recruit’s AI technology then crunches over 30 industry-specific metrics to calculate a ‘Fit Score’ for each agent. With this ‘Fit Score’, brokers can easily and more accurately identify and recruit the best agents—who are also a best fit—and are most likely to contribute to the brokerage’s bottom-line.  “We’re thrilled to launch Recruit today,” said Jimmy Kelly, CEO and President of Lone Wolf. “This year, we’re on a mission to provide more cutting-edge technology to the real estate industry than ever before. Recruit is a unique and incredibly innovative solution that will provide brokers in the U.S. with a simple and intuitive way of finding and recruiting the best talent and fit for their brokerage.” https://hrtechfeed.com/new-real-estate-recruiting-solution-launches/ FUNDING ALERT - Wedge, the recruiting platform based on video screening announced $1.6M in additional funding with participation from new and existing investors.
