[Academic Inquiry] Exploring AI Tools in Recruitment Processes

Hello, fellow Redditors!

I’m currently a social science student embarking on my master’s thesis, and I’ve chosen to focus on the role of AI in recruitment. This topic was somewhat randomly selected, but I’m committed to making the most of it. As I don’t have direct connections in the recruitment field, I’m reaching out for your insights.

I would appreciate your knowledge on a few key areas:

  1. Recruitment Stages: What are the typical stages in the recruitment process (such as pre-selection, phone or video interviews, in-person interviews, and final decisions)? While I recognize that these may vary by company and position, I’m looking for a general understanding first before potentially narrowing my focus.

  2. AI Tools in Recruitment: What AI tools or software integrating AI features are currently utilized in the recruitment process?

  3. Usage of AI Tools: At which stages are AI tools most commonly applied, and how do they function? For example, do they aggregate candidates based on specific keywords in resumes, like “C#”? A general overview would be appreciated—no need for technical details.

  4. Perceived Limitations: Have you or your colleagues noticed any shortcomings with AI tools compared to traditional recruitment methods? Which do you prefer—traditional approaches or AI tools—and why?

Additionally, it would be helpful to know how long you’ve been in the recruitment field and the size of the organizations you’ve worked for (no need for company names, as I want to maintain anonymity).

Your honest responses to these questions will greatly influence my writing and help shape the design of my study or survey.

Thank you for your time and assistance!

Best,
Simon

What’s working for you to win new clients?

What strategies are you using to attract new clients?

I think we can all agree that the market is challenging right now. Since launching my business earlier this year, I’ve been tirelessly searching for clients, and it hasn’t been easy.

What makes it even more challenging is the increased competition for each opportunity, especially as everyone is feeling the pressure to find work. Standing out from the crowd has become even more vital.

With so many people working remotely, reaching out via phone is proving to be more difficult—about 90% of my leads seem unreachable through cold calls.

I’d love to hear how you’re successfully navigating this. What messaging techniques are you finding effective? Have you had better luck using LinkedIn?

Any insights you can share would be greatly appreciated, as they could really help a new business like mine that’s struggling. Thanks!

Embarking on a Career in Recruitment

Hello, fellow recruitment professionals!

I’m considering a shift into recruitment from executive search and I recognize that it’s a significantly different landscape.

Could you share your top three pieces of advice, insights, or cautionary tips for someone like me making this transition?

(I’m aware that recruitment often involves a higher volume of candidates and that reliability can vary compared to executive search.)

Thank you!

Reaching Out to My Recruiter for New Opportunities

Hi everyone,

I’m seeking some guidance. I’ve been in my current position for about a year and a few months, and I owe my success in securing this role to an outstanding recruiter.

As I’m now looking to transition to a new opportunity, I’m considering whether it would be a good idea to reach out to the recruiter who helped me before.

What do you think is the general sentiment from recruiters about this? I’m thinking that since he’s already familiar with my skills and background, he might be able to assist me in finding a new role more efficiently.

Thank you in advance for your insights!

Update: After reading through all the comments, I’ve decided to reach out. I appreciate everyone’s input!

Entry-level jobs aren’t entry-level

Entry-Level Jobs: A Misleading Term

I’ve spent the last few months searching for positions in accounting and finance, but I’m finding that even for entry-level roles, companies expect candidates to have at least six months of relevant experience. Despite holding a Master’s degree, I haven’t had much luck securing a position. Graduating during the COVID-19 pandemic means I’m no longer eligible for graduate schemes, which adds to my frustration. I’ve also tried applying for retail jobs, but after interviews, I often receive rejections. On top of that, recruiters frequently reach out to me, promising updates on opportunities, only to go silent afterwards.

I’m feeling really lost and disheartened, and it’s exacerbating my depression and anxiety. I’ve been actively seeking help, but the job search is becoming overwhelming. Each morning, I start off motivated, but by nightfall, I find myself in tears once again, caught in this exhausting cycle.

I’m open to any feedback and would genuinely appreciate any advice or support. Thank you!
