Cut your 90-day
turnover in half.
SmartTenure™ predicts which candidates will stay — before you extend the offer. ML-powered retention scoring plugged into your existing ATS.
How It Works
Application → Prediction → Better Hires
One seamless flow. No extra steps for your team.
Candidate Applies
Application data flows in from your ATS via webhook or API
ML Scores Retention
Pre-hire signals scored against your historical retention data
Recruiter Sees Insight
Tenure scores surface in your pipeline — flag high-potential hires
Model Learns
Post-hire outcomes feed back in — predictions sharpen every cycle
The 70% Promise
Prediction accuracy you can bank on — across every role.
SmartTenure™ guarantees a minimum 70% prediction accuracy for any job category in any industry. Our models are trained on millions of real hire-to-tenure outcomes across frontline, hourly, and high-volume roles — and they keep learning from your data.
Continuously Learning
Models retrain on your retention outcomes, getting smarter with every hire cycle.
Role-Specific Models
Not a one-size-fits-all score. Each job family gets its own optimized prediction model.
Fairness-Tested
Uses abstracted, job-related features only — no demographics, no location proxies.
Why It Wins
Turn gut feel into predictive data
Predicts Who'll Stay
Every candidate gets a retention likelihood score before you extend the offer. No more hoping they'll last past 90 days.
Learns from Your Best Hires
Uses your historical retention data to score new candidates against proven top performers in the same role.
Reduces Cost of Churn
Hire once, not twice. SmartTenure™ helps you keep your team intact and your budget on track with data-driven decisions.
Predictive Retention, Designed for Fairness
SmartTenure™ uses abstracted, job-related features to predict candidate retention — deliberately avoiding specific locations, personal identifiers, and demographic proxies.

Common Questions
Everything you need to know
Most teams are live within 5–10 business days. If you're using one of our supported ATS platforms, it's even faster — our pre-built connectors handle the heavy lifting. For custom integrations via REST API, we provide full documentation and a dedicated onboarding engineer.
None. Unlike traditional models that require months of historical data to begin, SmartTenure™ arrives pre-trained on millions of records across diverse industries. This allows us to deliver 70%+ prediction accuracy from day one, even if you provide no historical data. However, providing your own hire and termination history allows our AI to fine-tune to your organization's specific DNA, further increasing accuracy over time.
Yes. SmartTenure™ is built from the ground up around fair hiring principles. The model never uses age, race, gender, locality, or any demographic proxy as an input feature. We run quarterly disparate impact audits against the 4/5ths rule and publish the results to your compliance team. Our responsible AI framework is documented at cadienttalent.com/responsible-ai.
No problem — SmartTenure™ is fully ATS-agnostic. Our REST API accepts candidate data in a simple JSON format, so any system that can make an HTTP call can integrate. We've worked with custom-built ATS platforms, legacy HRIS systems, and everything in between. If your platform can export candidate data, we can score it.
We measure accuracy as the percentage of candidates whose actual retention outcomes match the model's predictions. This is validated using industry-standard benchmarks for day-one deployments, or on a held-out test set from your own data during the fine-tuning process. We continuously monitor performance in production, and if accuracy drops below 70% for any job family, we trigger an automatic model retrain at no additional cost.
Absolutely. SmartTenure™ is designed as an additive layer, not a replacement. It works alongside your existing assessments, interview scorecards, and hiring criteria. Many clients use SmartTenure™ scores as one signal among many in their decision-making process — it enriches the picture, it doesn't override it.
