How will AI change the recruitment industry?
Whether you want to admit it or not, AI is here to stay and for many of us, this means that the way that we do things, even the most everyday of things, may change.
This is true in the recruitment industry, where we have seen a change already coming with the introduction of and rise in popularity of AI tools.
So, the question is, we may know that AI is going to change the recruitment industry, but how do we see that happening?
It will make the repetitive tasks easier.
One way that AI can help recruiters is by taking charge of those tasks that are seen to be more “mundane and repetitive”. We all know the ones, those that take the time, but come with very little results.
By allowing AI to take charge of these things, you are going to be able to ensure that you have the time to do the things that need a human touch. Such as speaking to candidates or prospective clients.
You can use AI to analyse your results.
It can be tricky sometimes to know whether or not the things that you have put in place for your recruitment company are working or not. This is something that AI can help with. There are a variety of AI tools that are available to use to analyse the results of how successful your campaigns are proving to be.
Then you can make the decision around whether you want to make any changes or you want to continue using the methods that you have already put in place.
The candidate’s experience can be improved.
When you are recruiting, one thing that you want to make sure that you do is work towards delivering a positive candidate experience. This will shine a great light on you as a recruiter and help them to recommend you in the future.
Having AI on hand can be a great way to grow the candidate experience and make sure that it is as positive as possible for them.
There are a number of ways that it can do this, this includes making the existing processes that you have in place more efficient and making some of them, where appropriate, automated.
The hiring practices that you use will be more consistent and you could even remove the potential issue of unconscious bias from the recruitment process, which you may not even know is happening.
No matter what type of industry you are recruiting in, whether it is industrial or transport-based (like Kenect), the best way to see whether or not AI could be a useful tool is to try it for yourself. You will soon discover the ways that AI can prove to be helpful and what it can do to reduce the time that you spend on certain aspects of running your recruitment business and the processes that come with sourcing, interviewing and eventually hiring the right candidates for the right roles.
