Synonym Expansion for Amplify Matching

Amplify Matching

What’s new?

We've expanded the intelligence of the Bullhorn Automation Match Candidates Step by introducing automatic synonym detection for job titles and skills. When searching for matches, the Match Candidates Step now identifies and applies relevant synonyms to build a broader, more effective search.

Why does it matter?

This enhancement helps you reach more qualified candidates without extra effort. By automatically accounting for terminology variations in job titles and skills, Amplify Matching now delivers better coverage and higher-quality results.

Key benefits:

  • Broader candidate reach: Surface strong candidates even if their profiles use different wording.

  • Smarter search logic: Uses your existing keyword libraries along with AI-powered synonym expansion.

  • Improved hiring outcomes: Find qualified candidates faster by casting a wider, more precise net.

How do I enable this?

This enhancement is automatically available for Bullhorn Amplify Edition customers using the Match Candidates automation step. No additional action is needed; synonyms are now applied behind the scenes as part of the search process.
