How is AI being used in recruitment in 2024?
While AI may seem like a newer technology in the recruitment space, it already has vast applications to transform how recruiters work with candidates and clients.
Types of AI recruiting tools
AI capabilities and AI agents are built to optimize specific types of manual tasks and activities across the recruitment lifecycle, from sourcing to screening to submitting.
Here are a few examples of what’s possible today – with even more to come!
How to choose the right AI recruiting software
Instead of spending time and energy trying to find the candidates who are the best fit, with AI recruiting tools, recruiters can now spend their time and energy directly with those best candidates.
When it comes to AI, there is no one-size-fits-all. What tools you leverage depend on the needs of your firm.
Take a look at just a few of the ways AI can streamline recruitment:
Common hesitations to using AI recruiting software
Privacy
Staffing firms handle large amounts of data, and it’s crucial to have practices in place to ensure that data remains private.
Security
Firms should look towork with trusted providers who have done the due diligence to ensure their solutions are secure and that access is limited to only necessary employees.
Bias
Firms must implement strategies to prevent bias and ensure the outputs created by automation and AI tools remain fair.
5 questions to ask when evaluating an AI recruiting platform
Is it specific, enormous, and actionable? Does it have enough data to support an AI model that is effective and scalable? Is it built on recruitment-specific data?
Are the outputs created by the AI recruiting tool fair? Is the AI tool designed to be as unbiased and representative as possible?
Can you adopt and leverage AI where and when it can be most impactful to your business goals? Is AI offered across the entire recruitment workflow?
Combining AI and automation to reimagine a workflow is very technically challenging. Can your vendor orchestrate all of those pieces for you, exactly the way you want, on a single end-to-end platform?
