  • Seamless AI– This tool makes it easy to seek out the candidates you’re looking for with job titles and public information including contact information. You can try other options in the market. We especially like the browser extensions that allow you to capture contact information for candidates you spot on LinkedIn.
  • ChatGPT– Using AI, this program allows you to create copy for social media posts and elevated job descriptions that will help your team communicate your open positions.

Implementing AI at Every Stage of the Hiring Process

Having a well-thought-out strategy tailored to your specific needs is the best way to make these tools work toward your hiring goals. While strong engagement in the process and leg work on the end of the hiring manager or recruiters will still be required, these tools can improve parts of the process and make others easier to manage. Here’s an example of how you can use AI-powered tools at each stage of the hiring process.

  • Initial Search As part of our specialized services, we are often reaching out to candidates who are not actively looking for jobs. We find it is one of the most effective ways to connect top talent with opportunities. Seamless AI LinkedIn plugin is super efficient to get from identifying a candidate to reaching out in one step.
  • Reaching out It’s key to start the conversation on the right foot. Use AI tools like ChatGPT to generate a message, to add some fun elements, catchy, or witty, with the details about the open position to catch the potential candidates’ attention.
  • Setting up an interview Once you’re ready to setup an interview you can use AI-powered tools to research the candidate’s background deeper or understand how they could find the opportunity ideal for their experience. If the first interview goes well, you can also use AI tools to verify their qualifications before sending that candidate to the hiring manager.
  • Placing an offer At this stage text based AI powered tools like ChatGPT or Bard (now Gemini, by Google) can support your team in drafting the copy to extend the offer.

From the experts:

The key to using AI effectively in recruiting is ensuring you are still allowing your corporate/organizational voice to shine through at each stage of the process. AI powered tools should be used to assist, not to replace your voice, so it’s important to keep that in mind when using these powerful tools.

 

How Implementing AI-Powered Tools Can Change Your Results

Staying current with cutting-edge recruiting practices is crucial in ensuring you’re able to reach top talent to fill out open roles. AI -powered tools can support your team in finding better-suited potential candidates, and streamlining and speeding the reaching out step, by providing you with contact information on the fly.

With the help of AI tools you can develop better interview questions and job descriptions with ease, especially in the more niche, technically driven role, and if you need help we are experts in the field!

 

Where to Start to Shift to a More AI-Centered Approach

Getting started implementing AI in your hiring practice can be intimidating and it’s important to make decisions with intention and strategy in mind. To make the transition to an AI-centered approach easier and more effective, we recommend implementing one tool at a time. Don’t try to rush your team or yourself with too many changes in one go.

If we had to pick a place to start, ChatGPT would be at the top of our list. This tool is incredibly versatile, easy to use, and even offers a phone app for easy access on the fly. It’s a fantastic way to improve content overall including social media posts, job descriptions, and more!
