Despite considerable interest, (generative) AI in recruitment is still in its infancy!
There is huge interest in generative artificial intelligence (AI) in the world of recruitment. However, its actual adoption is still in the early stages. Many providers are evaluating application opportunities and creating operational pilots.
Although operationalisation is a slow process, the potential applications of generative AI across the entire field of recruitment are both promising and diverse. By way of illustration, we have listed a number of examples to demonstrate how generative AI can be used to innovate the recruitment of permanent and temporary staff.
1. Creating of job descriptions
Generative AI can help automate and optimise the process of creating job descriptions. Using AI, companies can quickly generate attractive job descriptions tailored to specific requirements and a particular company culture. One example is the latest release of SAP Fieldglass (VMS), which supports recruiters by drafting job profiles in all desired languages.
2. Candidate engagement
AI technologies can personalise and improve the efficiency of interaction with interested candidates. This can range from automatically answering frequently asked questions through to providing personalized updates about the application process. Both can significantly improve the candidate experience.
3. Recruitment bots
Chatbots powered by generative AI can provide 24/7 support to candidates. They can answer questions, gather feedback, and even help schedule interviews, streamlining the recruitment process and reducing the workload for recruiters.
4. Creating onboarding documents
AI can be used to automate the generation of personalised onboarding documents such as contracts and screening documents. This application ensures consistency and reduces the time required for drafting these documents, making the process faster and less prone to errors.
5. Labor market data and insights
Generative AI can quickly and accurately analyse data to provide insights that help develop better sourcing strategies. This service can range from identifying trends in candidate preferences through to predicting the ideal media strategy. One example is the recently launched version of Recruitagent.ai, which supports you in creating the job description based on labour market data, as well as supplying recruitment advice and a media plan appropriate to the vacancy, all targeted at the specific audience.
Conclusion
Although the implementation of generative AI within recruitment is still in its infancy, the potential benefits must not be underestimated. From streamlining administrative processes through to improving the candidate experience, AI applications could revolutionise how organisations attract and retain both permanent and temporary talent. As these applications develop and are integrated within the entire process, recruitment is set to undergo rapid change.
