Proprietary Matching Algorithm

JD Match has developed a proprietary preference-based matching algorithm to examine and compare students’ ranked preferences for firms and firms’ ranked preferences for students. These reciprocal preferences are the only information the algorithm operates on; it does not take into account any other quantitative or qualitative information whatsoever.

While the algorithm is important, it’s just one component of what we offer.

• JD Reach JD Match will be able to identify students matching certain particular characteristics that member firms specify. This extends the reach of firms to discover students they haven’t met or from schools they don’t visit.

• JD Guide lets firms discover which students ranked their firm highly.

• JD Recommends After OCI, JD Match runs a separate algorithm that analyzes the profiles of students each firm identified as desirable. It then finds other, unmatched students who have closely matching profiles, “recommending” them to the firm.

• JD Reports will be available after the recruiting season has concluded. The ultimate goal of JD Reports is to provide empirical data helping guide recruiting strategies and career counseling.
