AI has advanced so much that it's now essential for every industry, especially recruitment. Without AI recruiting tools, you’re likely falling behind and spending unnecessary time on manual tasks.
Speaking of manual tasks, there’s also the problem of manually updating your ATS.
An Applicant Tracking System (ATS) makes a recruiter’s life much easier - but only if it can easily integrate with other AI recruitment software.
Integrating your ATS with AI recruiting tools can help automate manual data entry, improve the interview experience, and ultimately improve decision-making. These integrations help boost effectiveness and save hours spent on admin work.
Plus, 80% of recruiters save 36% of their time using these tools.
Let’s look at how you can automate the “dino work” (as we like to call it) and make your recruitment process effective.
Here’s the main takeaway from this: AI and automation address and solve a recruiter’s pain points.
A recruiter’s main problem: hours spent on mundane tasks.
The solution: Automation with AI recruiting tools.
These tools include your ATS, AI note-taker, screening tools, skills assessment platforms, and so much more.
And as recruiters (or a recruitment agency), you know time is money.
Getting a position filled quickly is what you want.
But what you don’t want is a compromise on the quality of hire.
Even if you use all the automation tools in the world, one problem remains constant: time spent on administrative tasks.
The missing piece is removing bottlenecks in your hiring process.
Let’s look at how integrations with your ATS help you save hours and hours of work.
Before a recruiter decides on a candidate, they have to prepare a submittal and get it approved by the HR management team (or other stakeholders).
The time spent on creating a submittal from your meeting notes varies depending on the seniority level.
On average, it takes from 2 minutes to an hour and a half to go through this process.
All of these tasks are incredibly time-consuming.
So, a good way to do this is to automate how you generate and send these submittals.
That way, recruiters save time on admin tasks and focus on other things.
And that’s precisely how CoRecruit works. It not only helps you with taking notes - it goes the extra mile and does all the heavy lifting for you - like generating submittals.
So the next time you’re thinking of spending an hour on creating a submittal, consider using an AI assistant to help you along the way.
One way to conduct pre-screening is by sending in forms to each candidate and then assessing their responses.
But that method poses the same problem: hours spent on admin work.
Not to mention the human errors, unconscious bias, and several other things that may pop up when screening candidates.
Here’s where AI-screening tools can help recruiters save time and fill their ATS pipeline faster.
Plus, several smaller tasks may take only 2 to 5 minutes.
However, recruiters tend to ignore and put aside these tasks (e.g., making a list of the candidate’s soft skills).
What recruiters don’t realize is that all these little pieces play a huge part in putting together the puzzle.
Taking shortcuts may seem like a good idea initially, but it churns out negative results.
You might not be familiar with having a bot on your call.
But when you know how it helps you, you’ll run to get your Bot sidekick on the call when you’re with the candidate.
An ATS’s primary role is to fill your candidate pipeline.
If you’re spending time screening each candidate, that pipeline won’t fill fast.
What you need is automation.
Here’s why:
73% of potential candidates are passive job seekers.
That means they’re not actively looking for a job (or don’t have enough guts to make a switch).
An ATS helps you engage candidates better, which means more qualified candidates.
And an AI notetaker helps you classify that candidate’s information once you have the interview.
That’s where AI meeting assistants like CoRecruit help reduce 80% of your mundane taasks:
All of this information can be tweaked according to what questions you want to ask and get automatically uploaded to your ATS integration.
A huge part of the hiring process is making notes, converting them into a write-up, and then sharing all that information with the hiring manager.
Recruiters spend hours on this (and there’s a huge chance you’ll miss out on many details).
CoRecruit lets you create a script or a template before you jump on a call with a candidate.
At the end of the call, you’ll have super helpful notes created for you that you can edit and use to make hiring decisions.
We’ve already witnessed a huge surge in AI implementation since ChatGPT rolled out in November 2022.
In 2024, 72% of organizations have already adopted AI.
And we still have a good few months left in this year.
As recruiters, you wouldn’t want to stay behind and sacrifice good candidates just because AI didn’t make sense to you.
These numbers are just a trailer of what AI is capable of.
