¿cómo funciona la función de reclutamiento de comparisonator?
La “Tienda de Reclutamiento” permite a los reclutadores y ojeadores buscar/listar jugadores con un solo clic de cualquier liga y posición según su rendimiento (utilizando el índice de rendimiento artificialmente inteligente Comparisonator), altura, edad, país de pasaporte. Las acciones de los jugadores pueden filtrarse hacia las cualidades buscadas. Se pueden encontrar jugadores sin contrato entre más de 300.000 jugadores de la base de datos.
Por ejemplo, los responsables de la toma de decisiones podrán hacer una lista de todos los mejores delanteros centro sub-21 (o de cualquier posición) de Croacia y Serbia (o de 275 competiciones), añadir la cantidad de goles, los duelos aéreos ganados si buscan un hombre objetivo de la sección de filtros, o los regates realizados si buscan delanteros. Detalla muy sencillamente la posición a buscar para encontrar jugadores adecuados.
