Many companies and job platforms in the recruitment sector are integrating artificial intelligence into their services. Automating certain steps saves time, money, and energy for both recruiters and candidates.The goal of these new innovations is to better target candidate profiles. They are used not only by global leaders but also by companies specialized in niche sectors.
A New Tool to Identify Talent Differently
Among the latest developments, some tools offer selections of pre-qualified candidates. What’s new is that they are not solely based on CVs or experience, but also take into account other criteria, such as interpersonal skills.
The idea is to replicate the role of a talent agent—someone who understands your strengths and weaknesses, knows the market and its evolution, and can identify what opportunities suit you best. AI aims to imitate this role as a virtual advisor, guiding each candidate in the right direction by suggesting possible career paths.
A Rapidly Growing Trend
In recent years, recruitment has undergone significant digitalization. Technological innovations have become essential and also help increase the success rate of hires.
Some platforms no longer want to be just job boards, but aim to support candidates in their professional journeys and career choices. This approach enables the discovery of various career paths that match individual skill sets—including some lesser-known options. Thanks to a series of questions about personal preferences, these tools can suggest industries that align with each profile.
Overall, recruitment is no longer solely based on résumés, but increasingly focused on a candidate’s human qualities.
The Goal: A Better Candidate Experience
The main challenge for these technologies is to improve the candidate experience by offering a more personalized and less stressful service. Every day, millions of applications and job postings are sent and received. These tools help streamline the job search by giving candidates the impression of human support. AI thus acts as a virtual talent agent, capable of helping millions of candidates find targeted opportunities.
However, it should be noted that AI is only a support tool, not an end in itself. At Elkho Group, the human being remains at the heart of our priorities.
Technology allows us to save time on certain tasks that can be automated, but each CV is carefully examined manually. We remain convinced that the human relationship is essential in our business.
