5 Ways to Improve Your Recruiting Strategy With AI and HR Software

New Hires Engagement

New hires can put a lot of stress on HR and take up huge amounts of their time. This can be a problem, especially if there are many new recruits in training or on probation, and they all require your attention.

At this stage, you can benefit from implementing a smart AI-based HR chatbot. These bots can integrate with all your systems and communication channels to provide the best possible assistance to your new employees.

They function as self-service HR agents, which can answer any queries and provide help in many HR- and even IT-related issues. Thanks to NLP, they can lead natural conversations with recruits and guide them just like a human HR manager would.

This chatbot can cater to all the recruits at the same time if necessary, and they are available 24/7, so even if new employees have any questions after hours, they can engage with the bot. If the chatbot is unable to solve the problem or provide assistance, it can refer them to a human HR manager.

This useful tool improves employee access and reduces human HR interactions, which means everyone benefits from it.

Automation and Time-Saving

As it’s clear by now, AI and HR software can automate a lot of repetitive and time-consuming tasks that take HR people forever to do. Starting from the sourcing process all the way to employee engagement, it can streamline many parts of the recruitment journey and let HR managers deal with the most important stages.

In fact, by automating repetitive tasks, smart software can save 50–60% of the time HR managers spend on these processes. That’s many hours they can put into dealing with employees one-on-one instead of wasting that time tackling logistics.

One such applicant tracking system (ATS) is CEIPAL TalentHire, which helps recruiters automate their workflow and manage their time better.

More Inclusive Recruitment

Inclusion and diversity in the workplace are major topics in the business world these days. Companies go to great lengths to prove they don’t tolerate intolerance and welcome people of all backgrounds and profiles.

It’s interesting to note that diverse businesses generally perform better and earn more than those that are not. This could be the case for a variety of reasons, but when employees feel accepted and valued, they tend to be happier and perform better. Whatever the actual reason may be, the point is — it pays to be an inclusive business.

However, people can have internalized and deeply rooted biases they can act on during the recruitment process unconsciously and without malicious intent. This way, we can favor some candidates over others who are equally, if not more suitable for the job.

Luckily, AI can help here too, as it only focuses on the actual candidate qualifications as opposed to their ethnicity, gender, age, etc. It can be a true ally in curbing our prejudices and fostering a more open and diverse company culture.

HR software has existed for a while now, but the addition of the AI component has transformed and improved it manifold. Thanks to this kind of software, your recruitment process can become better, more efficient, and more fair than ever.
