The rise of AI and automation in recruitment

The focus on automation has appeared in the previous years, employment and truly so. Recruitment innovation is more offered, accessible and versatile than ever.

This year, AI took a considerable action ahead in recruitment and has actually been included into recruitment software application, including Teamdash.

We recently commemorated one year of ChatGPT – the infamous AI tool mentioned at every table this year. ChatGPT and other AI tools are utilized by both employers and prospects, raising concerns about how it affects the recruitment procedure and how to maintain ethical and human consider the decision-making.

At Teamdash, our viewpoint has actually constantly been that the employer must be at the steering wheel and in control, and innovation is simply an automobile to arrive quicker, safer and more comfortably. And it needs to bring on and be transparent in the recruitment performance metrics.

Talent acquisition and recruitment has been a reasonably early adopter of Artificial Intelligence. AI helps recruiters to work smarter, not harder, automate repeated tasks, make it faster and easier to source candidates, write job advertisements, launch employer branding projects, and engage with candidates, to name simply a few. AI continues to evolve and automate everyday tasks. Recruiters may have the ability to take a great deal of recurring things off their plates and concentrate on the more human aspects of recruiting.

I began using multiple AI-powered tools in recruitment, constantly ensuring ethical practices, of course. Learning the needed triggers not only made my job much easier, however also showed incredibly interesting. Embracing ethical AI tools completely changed my method to recruitment: Automated Resume Screening: promptly matching prospect qualifications with task requirements. Chatbot help: guides candidates, answers FAQs, and schedules interviews seamlessly.

In 2023, we experienced the growth of the requirement to headhunt talents instead of fill the roles of actively using individuals. At the exact same time, the increased circulation of applying prospects appeared like a positive change, but really, it did more operate in terms of the need to respond to everybody, examine each profile’s suitability to the role and send out more rejection emails.

The efficiency boost that the AI and automation tools supplied permitted us to make the process quicker and more constant. We attained an improvement in the Time to Hire metric and the drop in Voluntary Turnover, and, at the exact same time – an increase in staff member NPS.

In 2023 our hiring rate from applicants increased by 25% – to increase working with rates, you need to make sure the very best prospect experience by utilizing automations and AI.

Tools you require for successful recruitment in 2024

Recruiters without current tools and software application have a clear disadvantage compared to the ones who have adopted an extensive tech stack.

All the experts who reacted to our survey pointed out having a good and modern ATS as the first must-have tool in 2024.

I personally think you will fall too far behind the curve if you do not make AI work for you. There are still too many recruiters not making the most of technology. You do not have to master them all, but get a great grounding on prompts and recognition as a minimum. AI is as reliable as Wikipedia – you need to do the fact-check.

ATS, Magical Text Expander, DeepL, Grammarly, and templates to make day-to-day tasks quicker.

Rethinking and revamping your company brand to adjust to the modifications

The nature of work and the expectations towards the office and company have substantially moved in the previous years. There is also a generational modification in the labor force – Gen Z is entering the labor force as a part of the Boomer generation is retiring.

To maintain and exceed these expectations and keep hiring and keeping top skill, companies need to reconsider their company brand and offering. At our end-of-the-year webinar, Kaarel Holm from MeetFrank shared that the Pareto principle applies in their user base – 20% of the very best companies get 80% of the applicants. No company desires to lose out on working with the very best talent.

To turn into one of the finest, transparency is expected throughout all stages of the skill strategy. This means leveraging the ideal innovation and tools to support human proficiencies and building a strong company brand based on them.

Diversity (DEI), flexibility, openness and the increase of relatable organisations are the keywords in focus for company brand names in 2024.

We’ve seen a lot of modification throughout 2023.

– Firstly, the demand for the office on a flexible basis has actually picked up. While completely remote and remote-first chances remain dominant amongst jobseekers, hybrid roles are becoming significantly popular.

Our Q3 Flexible Working Index (a report which tracks evolving trends throughout the flexible tasks market) exposed a sharp shift away from remote work among employers – totally remote roles accounted for just 4% of task posts in between July and September, employment on average.

Meanwhile, jobseekers’ need for remote work stays strong, however our data shows that the more versatility companies provide personnel around working locations, the more popular they are among prospects.

– Secondly, the conventional work week has actually considerably developed over the previous year.

The timeless Mon-Fri is taking a backseat. A growing number of companies are introducing an alternative method, which consists of variations of the 4-day week, the 4.5-day week, and the 9-day fortnight.
Demand for the 4-day work week has actually increased, with approximately 47.4% of Flexa users listing it as their favored method of working during October. During the very same period, 37.5% the 4.5-day week as their choice, and 14.1% specified the 9-day fortnight was theirs.

Maintaining your employer brand whilst recruitment is low is KEY! You require to be continuously sharing things with your audience so when recruitment picks back up you are not essentially going back to square one. Technology will permit you to really make data-driven choices whilst being able to track prospects, raise your employer branding and master recruitment marketing.

Recruiter skillset in 2024

Over the last few years, we have seen a lift in ability- and value-based hiring. Companies are now actively upskilling their present workforce and hiring new employees to fill the skill gaps.

This also implies recruiters need to adjust their abilities to match the requirements. Recruiters require a mix of outstanding soft skills and hard skills to be successful in 2024 and beyond. An effective employer in 2024 is a fantastic communicator and facilitator who knows how to sell the function and the company, deals with information and statistics to believe strategically, and adapts quickly to the changes in the market.

Again, proactively working on establishing these skills even more and using technology helps remain on top of the recruitment game.

In the past couple of years, we have seen recruitment becoming more and more tactical and data-driven. HR professionals have actually become the leaders of this shift and the new talent strategies.

We enjoy to see that Teamdash users are actively working with the data readily available for them in the Recruitment efficiency tab and have actually made checking it a part of their everyday routine. This has assisted them find brand-new ways to simplify the procedure and automate tedious jobs, making more time for activities that create value.

The brand-new skillset aligns with the obstacles that 2023 has actually brought and will continue to 2024.

– We have actually seen an increase in the number of candidates however still have problems getting enough qualified prospects;
– We need to cut or handle recruitment costs to remain on top of the financial circumstance worldwide;

Prioritizing the well-being and engagement of current employees ends up being not just a corporate responsibility but a tactical vital to restore and strengthen trust in the hiring landscape.

As attitudes and comprehending continue to sway in the ideal direction, I hope 2024 will bring a lot more openness and utilisation of company branding. Both go together and are exceptionally crucial to successfully working with and retaining top skill – particularly as they help build trust amongst candidates and staff members.

And there’s so much information to back this up. For example, LinkedIn’s Employer Brand stats specify that 75% of task seekers think about a company’s brand before even obtaining a job.
In a study of 1,000 staff members, Visier discovered that 90% trust their employer. When asked why, 65% said, «They typically inform me the fact», 52% said, «They’re transparent about business policies and practices», and 38% stated, «They encourage workers to speak out».
