Can AI help identify the ideal candidate from your CV database?

Imagine this scenario: I’m a recruiter, and a significant part of my day involves reviewing and comparing documents. I receive a job description and need to match it with the most suitable resume from my collection stored in OneDrive.

My question is:
Can I leverage ChatGPT or Copilot to help me pinpoint the most relevant resumes for a new job opening?

Recruitment for ESL teachers in China

ESL Teacher Recruitment in China

Hello everyone,

I’m curious about the typical practices in China regarding the recruitment of ESL teachers for schools and universities.

Is there usually a placement fee involved, or do teachers experience a salary reduction? If so, what are the common amounts?

I’ve come across information suggesting that the fee might be around $250 USD—does that sound accurate?

Commission on new business

Commission on New Business Inquiry

I’m interested in understanding the commission structure for bringing in new business. If I secure a new client and someone else fills the position, am I still eligible for a commission? If so, how long will I receive it? Is it applicable for the duration of the company’s role offerings? I work as a 360 recruitment consultant. Thank you!

Recruiter interview

Recruiter Interview Insights

A friend of mine recently interviewed for a talent acquisition role at an IT company, and I was taken aback by the depth of the questions the interviewer asked. They not only required him to explain OOP concepts and the SOLID principles but also posed challenging questions about Java, AWS, and GCP.

The interviewer emphasized that recruiters should be knowledgeable about these topics to effectively screen candidates during the phone interview stage.

For those of you who have interviewed recruiters, do you think it’s reasonable to expect them to have such a detailed understanding of IT concepts?

New Business Split

New Business Revenue Split Discussion

In our team, we have four sourcing consultants and a newly hired 360 recruitment consultant. The 360 consultant has begun engaging in business development activities. However, she expressed that when she secures new business that she cannot fulfill herself, the roles are passed on to a sourcing consultant. She believes that the revenue split should be 30% for her and 70% for the sourcing consultant. Furthermore, she thinks this arrangement should apply for all new business she brings in and for any placements she cannot fill for a period of 12 months after securing the business.

Is her perspective valid?

What does reuploaded job ad on Jobstreet means?

What does a reuploaded job ad on Jobstreet mean?

Hi everyone! I’m looking for some insights from recruiters.

I recently checked a job posting on Jobstreet and noticed that it was reuploaded just a few hours after my interview. Does this mean that I wasn’t shortlisted, or does Jobstreet automatically reupload listings?

I’d love to get your thoughts because I’m starting to overthink things. I’m really eager about the opportunity and want to be a part of the organization!

Is there a software that could help be parse through resumes received through email?

Is there a software solution that can assist me in managing resumes received via email?

To give you some context, I’ve recently started working at a well-established school in India, and we receive between 50 to 80 applications and resumes each day. Currently, all applications come to a single email account, and we manually print and review each one for key highlights and suitability. After making notes, we photocopy them and pass them to upper management for approval before scheduling interviews.

I’m looking for a software that can help with the following:

A) Allow me to upload multiple resumes at once to create a centralized candidate database.

B) Incorporate a search feature that can identify specific keywords throughout the uploaded resumes, such as “degree,” “location,” and “years of experience.”

C) Provide functionality to schedule applications or track their status, including follow-ups and any remarks about candidates.

If you know of any tools that can meet these needs, I would greatly appreciate your recommendations!

As a recruiter, would you hire a working mom who’s eager to return to workforce?

As a recruiter, would you consider hiring a working mom excited to rejoin the workforce? I need to share my thoughts on this.

I’ve applied to over 50 companies and interviewed with more than 30, yet I’m still without a job offer. It’s been three months of searching.

Initially, I tried to brush it off, thinking perhaps my interviews didn’t go well or that other candidates were selected instead. However, I’m starting to suspect that discrimination may be at play. Once they learned my career gap was due to my pregnancy, followed by questions about who would care for my baby, it became clear to me.

In my mind, I would never apply if I didn’t have childcare arranged or wasn’t ready to return to work. Yet, my response is always that we have someone to take care of him.

I’m feeling really discouraged and demotivated after facing repeated rejections.

P.S. I work in a competitive field where there is typically only one open position for hundreds of applicants.

A nice change!

A refreshing experience!

I usually have my frustrations with recruiters, but the efficiency I encountered this time around was truly commendable and greatly appreciated!
