Recently, we asked our social media audience for their thoughts on AI in recruiting and job searching. As expected, the feedback was mixed. Employers and recruiters shared that using AI has improved efficiency and made the hiring process smoother. However, job seekers often feel uncertain or even opposed to it.
Recently I met with a candidate who simply thanked me for taking the time to talk with him. That moment reminded me of something important: while technology can make processes more efficient, we need to ask—at what cost?
It's crucial for employers to strike a balance. Technology should enhance the hiring process, not replace the human touch. There’s no substitute for meaningful interaction, for picking up on the subtle cues in a conversation, or noting how someone responds to an interview questions.
If you're considering incorporating technology or AI into your recruiting efforts, remember to create a process that’s both effective and candidate-friendly. Put yourself in the job seeker's shoes—how would you feel about the system you’re putting in place?
