[0:00] Introduction

Welcome, Prem!
Today’s Topic: How AI is Reshaping Recruiting

[8:31] How is AI helping recruiters balance speed and candidate experience?

AI can make bad processes happen faster just as easily as it can good ones; it's not a replacement for a sound strategy.
The role of the recruiter will evolve into one of orchestration, strategically deciding where to implement AI in the hiring workflow.

[16:10] How can you build an AI that earns candidate trust?

Earning trust is about providing immediate value and setting clear expectations.
The goal is not to trick a candidate into thinking an AI is human, but to be transparent about its role in assisting them.

[24:57] What are some real-world examples of AI improving hiring efficiency?

For AI to be effective, it must be integrated directly into a company’s primary workflow, such as its Applicant Tracking System (ATS).
Chat agents are now handling candidate intake, answering questions, and initial screening.
Companies are using AI to re-engage with the vast pools of candidates they already have in their databases.

[35:23] Closing

Thanks for listening!

Quick Quote

“AI, like any technology, has the ability to make this happen faster, more efficiently, and at a higher quality; but it also has the ability to make bad things happen faster, more efficiently bad, and at a higher quality of bad. It isn’t a way of getting around sound process.”
