Advantages of AI for recruiters

A perfect match in a matter of seconds - the dream of all recruiters! However, the reality is all too often different. Identifying the right talent and attracting them ahead of the competition is a mammoth task... and one that is repeated day after day. The ever-increasing shortage of skilled workers is definitely not making things any easier. More and more staffing companies are therefore finding new ways to optimize their sometimes outdated recruiting processes and take the pressure off recruiters. Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are also increasingly being used. This is because the AI market is booming and there is an increasing number of AI tools that pursue different approaches and are suitable for a wide range of applications.

AI can be used at pretty much all points in the recruitment process. However, the decision as to where AI solutions are really useful and efficient is very individual. A high-quality service provider supports companies in selecting the right AI features.

The goal of AI tools? The aforementioned perfect match in a matter of seconds - more efficiently and effectively than ever before.

But what are the advantages of AI tools? And how do recruiters benefit from them?

First things first: there are advantages. Many advantages, in fact. But not only. There are also risks and pitfalls when using AI tools in recruiting. Because hand on heart, AI technology has the potential to have a massive impact on the recruitment process. In every direction.

1. AI is super fast: Speed is a hard currency in a shortage market. Recruiters therefore need to make every effort to speed up the process. AI can save unimagined amounts of time, for example by automatically searching, analyzing and filtering data records of female candidates.

2. AI is meticulous: Accuracy in terms of numbers and data is definitely a big plus for AI. Because no matter how high the time pressure is, AI does not overlook any facts or make any transposed figures. In other words, careless mistakes are significantly reduced, thus improving the entire recruitment process.

3. AI improves quality: performance is optimized through standardized processes. For example, the use of AI allows candidates to be identified who might have been overlooked without AI tools. The perfect handling of routine tasks also relieves the burden on recruiters, who in turn have more time to select the right candidates in personal interviews, for example.

4. AI saves costs: AI tools automate the recruiting process in many areas, which can lead to an increase in the placement rate in less time. At the same time, AI reduces the costs per placement by eliminating inefficient processes and redundant procedures.

5. AI is flexible: AI software can be individually adapted to the requirements of companies and recruiters. Whether corporate or start-up. Whether you need help finding applicants or posting job advertisements: The virtual helpers are super flexible to use.

6. AI works 24/7: No vacation. Not sick. And no fixed working hours. AI tools always work. During the day. At night. At the weekend. So it can be a great service for candidates if a chatbot answers their questions immediately and always. AI can also address passive candidates around the clock and thus continuously fill the pipeline.

7. AI improves the candidate experience: Nowadays, small add-ons and smart gimmicks are needed to inspire and attract talent. Some AI tools now offer this entertainment factor. For example, planning tools optimize the booking of interviews and candidates automatically receive feedback. This guarantees a consistent experience.

8. AI as a diversity boost: Ok, AI is not objective. AI is also not fair or just per se. But neither is it unfair or unjust. Why? Quite simply because AI is trained by humans and ultimately only works as fairly and justly as the training data allows. However, AI can help to reduce prejudice and discrimination in the recruitment process. This is because a decision is made on the basis of data - and not the aforementioned gut feeling.

Finding talent where you don't expect it and neither does the competition. Attract candidates innovatively. Turning the entire recruiting process into an experience. An objective, neutral and consistent assessment of talent. AI features make all this and much more possible. BUT, the crucial and essential thing for all recruiters in every company is the elimination of all tedious routine activities! Because this reduces the workload AND increases job satisfaction at the same time. Why? Because the job is different. Instead of transferring data from A to B or spending hours scanning databases and CVs, there is time for the nice and essential tasks - the tasks from person to person. In other words: the tasks from recruiter to candidate. Thanks to AI, recruiters finally have more time to use their experience and knowledge of human nature to select the perfect match in personal, individual interviews. In other words: thanks to AI, recruiters can do what really makes a person.

However, whether recruiters benefit from AI recruiting depends largely on which tool is used with which features. Because all the opportunities listed also harbor risks. Two keywords: legal certainty & data protection. In other words: AI CAN work wonders - but it doesn't have to.

That's why we always advise you to carefully examine the software provider and the technology behind it - preferably in a critical selection process.

The following aspects, among others, should therefore be taken into account when selecting the right AI partner:
