Boost recruiting efficiency with AI

Introduction 

For most, technology has become an integral part of our daily lives. We rely on various apps to connect with friends, monitor our health and fitness, find out the weather, figure out what we're going to cook for dinner, and so on. When it comes to our professional lives, we often hesitate to embrace cutting-edge technology. Despite the recent surge in artificial intelligence (AI), many people are still hesitant to incorporate it into their recruitment processes. One of the fears associated with using AI in recruitment is that it will take away the ‘human’ aspect of hiring, when in fact it does just the opposite. AI in recruitment is here to stay, and we should be looking at the benefits that AI brings to the recruiting space. Imagine this: AI eliminates the time-consuming, routine tasks so you can focus on what really matters - speaking with qualified applicants and making the best hire.

How to boost efficiency with AI 

• Automated candidate sourcing 
• AI-powered applicant screening
• Automated messaging and message templates 

Automated candidate sourcing 

Sourcing is an ongoing process for recruiters. It's often like searching for a needle in a hay stack to find the right person for the role, and your organization. AI can help to streamline your search. While platforms like LinkedIn have many candidates to sort through, AI-powered technology like SquarePeg puts sourcing on autopilot by bringing qualified top-tier talent to you. 

By running passive email campaigns, posting your job on job boards, and sponsoring your LinkedIn listings, SquarePeg delivers a surplus of sourced candidates for you, and makes your job a whole lot easier. 

AI-powered applicant screening 

A lot of time and energy is spent screening resumes. In the current market where layoffs are happening left and right, open roles are likely getting hundreds if not thousands of applications. 

Sifting through a large number of resumes is not only time consuming, but exhausting. On average, manual resume screening takes about 13 hours per week (and that's per hire!). 

Recruiters can save countless hours sifting through resumes with applicant screening tools. SquarePeg uses AI to generate a candidate "match score" based on the employers specified criteria. SquarePeg does the resume sifting for you, and identifies the top qualified applicants for you to review. 

Automated messaging and message templates 

Messaging candidates can be a time-sucking task. Recruiters are also often sending the same message over and over, each time a candidate is in a certain stage of the funnel. 

SquarePeg allows recruiters to save message templates they can assign to a candidate at any stage in the recruiting process as a way to categorize them. They can save this message, make this message the default for any given stage, customize it at any time, or send it as is. 

Message templates and automated messaging streamline candidate communication and prevent recruiters from having to type the same message over and over.
