We’ve seen the blockbusters. We’ve seen Hollywood movies about AI. We know what you’re thinking. AI is creeping into our daily lives – and the same applies to recruitment. You might be scared of its capabilities and power, and that’s totally normal. Especially if you’re a recruiter who’s struggling with a recruitment process that is undergoing a digital transformation. Or perhaps your manager recently told you about the possibility of leveraging an AI-powered ATS. In the past, many talent acquisition specialists used to depend on the post and pray method. Where they post jobs and pray top talent will magically appear in their pipelines. But that time was yesterday.

Today, AI-powered ATSs can incredibly make the process more streamlined, more efficient, and more human than ever before.

Don’t believe it? Perhaps these 4 ways will!

Personalizing the candidate experience

We all know that a personalized candidate experience always wins. Recruiters always strive to secure the best candidates, create an exceptional hiring process, and make candidates feel happy. But since the rise of Covid19 and remote hiring, it’s been a tough pickle for recruiters. How can they personalize the candidate experience from a distance? Well, the answer is simple: through an AI-powered ATS. An intelligent ATS enables you to streamline the entire recruitment process and automate your workflows from A to Z. Through advanced automation, recruiters can save more than 90% of their time and focus more on what matters: personalizing the candidate experience. For starters, an ATS personalizes communication with candidates. Where recruiters can use pre-existing email templates or create their own. Plus, these emails will automatically reach candidates once they move from one stage to the other in the hiring process. What’s more, you can even embed any interview tips, career advice, or interview guidance to further personalize their experience. This way, both qualified and unqualified candidates will feel more valued and respected.

Faster application and hiring process

Since the dawn of AI and advanced technology, the world of recruitment has changed forever. Now, modern-day candidates expect to go through an ultra-fast and innovative hiring process. No candidate wants to spend over 45 minutes regurgitating their entire resume from scratch, only to find out that they’re unqualified for the job in the first place. In fact, recent studies have shown that more than 20 percent of candidates would drop out of an application process if it took them more than 10 minutes to fill! On the bright side, an AI-powered ATS puts an end to that brings out the “human” in “human resources”. For example, an ATS like EVA-REC allows recruiters to create a fast, simple, and mobile-friendly application process. Where candidates can apply to jobs on the go, and get automated follow-up emails that keep them in the loop on their application status. Plus, recruiters can even customize the signup requirements and create a series of knock-out questions to automatically weed out unqualified candidates. This means that they can help top talent move even faster in the hiring process, and monumentally ramp up the candidate experience.

AI chatbots that keep conversations flowing

As a recruiter, you must be familiar with chatbots. Your company might have one itself. You must know as well that chatbots are literally programmed to do anything. This means that if your candidates are facing any issues with their remote recruitment process, they can simply speak to the chatbot for further support. This means that your company can keep communication lines open with candidates – even from a distance. Therefore, this will incredibly humanize the hiring process, especially since it makes the interactions sound more human and natural – rather than robotic. But that’s not only it! A chatbot can also be programmed to collect basic candidate information such as their education or past experience – to further expedite the hiring process. It can even ask screening questions, answer frequently asked questions, and rank the candidates in order of qualification. As a result, candidates going through a remote recruitment process won’t be left in the dark, hearing crickets. They can alternatively resort to the chatbot to get the answers their looking for at any time and place.

Data-backed reports and insights

If you’re looking to humanize the hiring process, you need to track and monitor any gaps or existing bottlenecks. Is your time-to-hire taking too long? Are candidates dropping out fast? This could be an indicator that your hiring process is not engaging enough and has room for improvement. Luckily, AI empowers recruiters to make more informed decisions and solve problems strategically by generating advanced analytics and reports. In fact, recruiters and employers can easily turn to an AI-powered ATS to foster a more data-driven approach to recruitment. Through such real-time analytics, recruiters can easily pinpoint what’s working and what’s not in the recruitment process. For example, an advanced ATS like EVA-REC can intelligently break down your core recruitment metrics in one single dashboard. Where at a single glance, you can instantly view all the data related to your jobs, candidates, teammates, and interviews. You can even track and get an overview of candidate sources, the total number of candidates disqualified and the candidates hired. The best part? With such powerful insights and advanced analytics at hand, recruiters can easily track important recruitment metrics, spot bottlenecks, make adjustments, and make the hiring process more humanized.
