AI in Recruitment

Has anyone experienced AI conducting real interviews? I’m curious to hear your thoughts or any experiences you’ve had with AI in the recruitment process!

Are recruiters getting worse at sales in your team as well?

Are recruiters in your team struggling with sales as well?

I’m curious because I’ve been in the tech industry for a decade. While I know the market is tough right now, I’m wondering if people are facing more challenges due to a decline in their selling skills.

In my current workplace, the first four hours are eerily quiet as everyone focuses on crafting their emails. By the afternoon, the phone activity picks up, but it’s usually just 4-5 calls, and we operate in very niche markets.

Contrast that with a previous job where we were expected to make 50 cold calls a day. The atmosphere was electrifying—loud, competitive, and full of energy.

When I spoke to others in the industry, many mentioned that their companies have shifted to a quieter, more subdued approach to recruitment, as some staff members have reacted negatively to being pushed hard.

Is that the situation at your company? If not, how are you and your team performing?

I’d love to hear your thoughts!

Hello everyone,

I’m eager to hear how many of you are utilizing AI and automation tools in your recruitment efforts, particularly on LinkedIn. With all the buzz about AI revolutionizing various sectors, I’m curious if it has found a place in our daily tasks, such as candidate sourcing and engagement.

Are any of you implementing AI-driven software for automating LinkedIn outreach, sourcing candidates, or even screening? If so, which tools are you using, and how have they influenced your workflow? Have you observed any notable improvements in efficiency, or faced any challenges along the way?

I’m especially keen to learn about specific AI tools that have significantly impacted your processes. Additionally, how do you maintain a personal touch in your communications with candidates while using automation?

One popular platform here in the Netherlands is SourceGeek.

I’m looking forward to hearing your insights and any recommendations you might share!

Thank you!

How to actually stand out in job postings and to recruiters? What’s actually working in these ATS systems?

How can you make your job application truly stand out to recruiters? What strategies are effective in navigating ATS systems?

Is it essential to keep your resume to just one page? Should you include a summary at the beginning? Will using a two-column format hurt your chances? And how can you effectively tailor your resume for each job posting?

I’ve noticed many people facing challenges and going through trial and error with their resumes. It often feels subjective, so I’m eager to know what works for others and what recruiters actually prioritize. What are the best practices?

Is my commision HORIBLE?!?!?

Is my commission really that bad?

Hello everyone,

I’m a Sales Manager at a recruitment agency in Lithuania, where we focus on supplying manpower to the construction industry in Scandinavia. While my main role is to acquire new clients, I often find myself addressing issues that go beyond my job description—like helping workers troubleshoot personal problems, such as a broken washing machine. The CEO frequently involves me in these matters, which I don’t think should fall under my responsibilities.

This year, I’ve managed to generate over 1 million euros in revenue for the company, yet my commission is only 1% of that, along with a very modest base salary. Given my contributions and taking into account industry norms, what would be a fair commission rate for my role?

Any chance to find a part time job as a recruiter and to work remotely in the same time ?
