Drools vs. IBM Decision Manager Open Edition

We were striving to automate the entire process because our core firm focuses on the recruitment process, as I indicated previously. Comprehensive automation, on the other hand, is unthinkable in our sector.

In order to close candidates, we were also able to automate decision-making.
