We chose to kick off the year with a pretty hot topic &#8211; <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How Artificial Intelligence is Changing the Way we Search for and Acquire Talent.<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Interestingly enough, the topic initially came up on one of our weekly RecruitLoop recruiter community forums. I quickly realised that it certainly wasn\u2019t only our recruiters who were panicking about the impact AI is having on what they do every day. <\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial Intelligence is dominating conversations across the full talent acquisition spectrum. We hear buzzwords like AI, chatbots, natural language processing, machine learning, algorithms, auto matching etc \u2026 all of which have perhaps created a sense of scaremongering within the industry.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does Artificial Intelligence impact what you do \u2026 either as an external recruitment consultant, contract \/ independent recruiter, HR specialist, or talent acquisition leader? Does it really impact your business? Is it about developing algorithms that mimic everything you do? Or is it actually more about giving you time back in your hectic schedules? After all, the speed at which we are expected to recruit today is crazy.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We assembled an awesome group of panelists, all experts in the field of Artificial Intelligence. <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Anne Gregory<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Director of Customer Success, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">GapJumpers<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Roy Pereira<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Founder of <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Zoom.ai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rob McIntosh<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Chief AI Evangelist with <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paradox<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">;\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Charna Parkey<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, Director of Customer Success Engineering at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Textio<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">; and <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Morgan Mackles<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, VP of Sales at <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">x.ai<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Here are some of the questions I put to the panelists:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How have you already seen organisations start to adopt AI and automation? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What exactly is natural language processing technology? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Do you think AI will ultimately eradicate the role of the recruiter entirely? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can AI help ensure more efficient and fairer candidate screening?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can AI and machine learning help \u2018human recruiters\u2019 make better hiring decisions? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How, by harnessing the power of AI, can you accelerate the shortlisting process and concentrate on candidate assessment? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can you see AI improving the candidate experience?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can AI \/ machine learning help to eliminate bias (either conscious or unconscious)? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is it possible that AI could in fact add more to the workload of a busy recruiter in terms of processes?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> What courses or other educational venues are available for someone wanting to learn more about AI? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Is there a difference between IA (Intelligent Automation) and AI (Artificial Intelligence)?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How does the role of the Talent Acquisition specialist need to evolve with the onset of all this AI stuff? <\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> How can AI help accelerate \u201ctime to find\u201d and \u201cspeed to hire\u201d?<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What does the next decade look like in terms of the impact AI might have on the recruitment industry?<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">My biggest take-away was that the recruitment industry needs to adopt, as opposed to fear, AI and automation. At the same time, however, recruiters can\u2019t afford to sit back and let a chatbot take their jobs!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Remember recruitment is ultimately about people placing people for people. It\u2019s a people game &#8211; not an admin game!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Artificial Intelligence gives recruiters the chance to automate CV screening, schedule interviews, and process high volumes of applications without hours at a computer. Yes \u2026 it actually <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">reduces<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> admin &#8211; freeing up recruiters to develop their client and candidate relationships and focus on the human touch, playing more of a talent advisory role.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You can listen to the full recording of the webinar below.<br \/>\n<\/span><br \/>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/embed\/medias\/0cwxx90r1s.jsonp\" async=\"async\"><\/script><script src=\"https:\/\/fast.wistia.com\/assets\/external\/E-v1.js\" async=\"async\"><\/script><\/p>\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_padding\" style=\"padding: 56.25% 0 0 0; position: relative;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_responsive_wrapper\" style=\"height: 100%; left: 0; position: absolute; top: 0; width: 100%;\">\n<div class=\"wistia_embed wistia_async_0cwxx90r1s videoFoam=true\" style=\"height: 100%; width: 100%;\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Editor&#8217;s Note:\u00a0This post is by\u00a0Paul Slezak, Cofounder and CEO of\u00a0RecruitLoop\u00a0&#8211; the World&#8217;s largest marketplace of expert\u00a0Recruiters\u00a0and\u00a0Sourcers\u00a0available on-demand.
