I created an AI Tool that can bulk process 1,000s of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews

I’m excited to share that I’ve developed an AI tool designed to bulk process thousands of CVs and conduct pre-screening interviews! Many of my LinkedIn connections express a desire for feedback on each job application, while numerous recruiters mention the challenge of managing hundreds of CVs per position.

Imagine having a customizable AI tool that can:
– Conduct initial pre-screening interviews to filter candidates based on essential criteria before they submit their applications.
– Process hundreds of CVs efficiently, comparing them against detailed job descriptions and specific requirements.
– Offer customization options for the filtering process, including location, job type, skills, experience, and much more.

I’ve created this as a proof of concept, and I’m thrilled about its effectiveness!

I’d love to hear your thoughts and any concerns you might have about using such a tool!

Meeting with a recruiter – tips?

Tips for Meeting with a Recruiter

I’m aiming for a new job with a minimum salary of £35,000.

During our phone conversation, the recruiter mentioned considering a salary of £28-29,000 if the company offers training.

How can I clearly communicate that my minimum is £35,000? I’m open to around £32,000-34,000 for positions with strong training programs, but I want to ensure my in-person meeting is productive and doesn’t devolve into a low-ball situation. Any advice?

“What team are you on, Cat or Dog?”

“Are you Team Cat or Team Dog?”
The other night, a door-to-door salesperson knocked at my door.

As soon as I opened it, I noticed his jacket, name tag, and clipboard. I realized right away that my FIFA game would have to wait as I was about to be stuck in a sales pitch.

Here’s how the encounter unfolded:
– He greeted me with a big, fake smile and asked how my day was going.
– He made a theatrical show about how I was the first person to ask how his day was in return. “Not bad, yours?” he said—I find that hard to believe in England.
– He then asked if I preferred cats or dogs.
– Despite my clear body language indicating I was busy and not interested, he plowed through his script.
– I told him I was preoccupied, and he offered to return in three hours, to which I eventually (and firmly) said I wasn’t interested.

What struck me is that even as a Sales/BD coach who sells regularly, I nearly gave him some false hope about a future meeting. I had to really hold back the impulse to do so.

He was essentially trying to schedule a meeting, and I would have ended up either ghosting him or attending without any intention of buying.

Sound familiar?

If he had provided me an easy way out right from the start, we could have both avoided a few minutes of awkward conversation in those first 10 seconds.

The reality is, if someone isn’t going to buy, you need to get them off the call and out of your funnel as soon as possible. The same principle applies when selling job opportunities to candidates.

And if your current company rewards this kind of behavior with pointless KPIs, it might be time to find a new job.

Resume: ChatGPT Vs Human

Comparing ChatGPT and Human Contributions on Resumes

  1. How do recruiters distinguish between resumes crafted with AI assistance and those created by individuals themselves?

  2. If given the choice, would you prefer a resume generated by AI or one written by a person? What factors influence your decision?

  3. If you lean toward the AI-generated option, is that a just assessment of a candidate’s abilities and potential?

Getting InMail Credits Back

Reclaiming Your InMail Credits

If you find yourself running low on InMail credits each month, here’s a helpful tip: Add a line to your InMails that says something like, “Please feel free to decline if this isn’t of interest.”

Since I started doing this, I’ve noticed a significant increase in my response rates. This approach prevents me from dropping below the 13% threshold for bulk messaging, as candidates are more likely to decline rather than simply ignore my messages. As a result, we’ve been able to recover a considerable number of costly InMail credits for future use.

I hope you find this helpful! 🙂
