Frequently asked

Can we model our own brand strength?

Yes. Brand strength from 0.6 to 1.5 scales the candidate’s attractiveness alongside its square footage.

How do we share a scenario?

Save it as a project; everyone in your organization can open the same weights, sites and results.

Can we load our own store list?

Custom data feeds and store lists are part of Enterprise onboarding.
