AI Headhunters & Tech Trends in Global Talent Recruitment

Over 80 percent of corporate survey respondents expect to see an increased use of technology in recruiting sourcing/outreach, candidate screening, and applications, while most also see the tech being used in candidate assessment and compensation package generation.

There’s an old adage, “good help is hard to get,” that is making something of a comeback in today’s increasingly dynamic and competitive global human resource industry. In 2016, the HR industry’s total operating income reached €491 billion, while 2007-2016 CAGR was about 9 percent. Flexible labour accounts for about 71 percent of modern market share, 20 percent comes from management service providers, 8 percent from high-end talent search, and 1 percent from recruitment process outsourcing and specialized services.

Recruitment and staffing are challenging areas that have been getting the most market investments. There are numerous derived services and platforms catering to recruiting: headhunters for high-end talents, background investigation services, consulting firms, and of course the popular online recruitment platforms such as LinkedIn and Glassdoor.

According to 2019 Deloitte Global Human Capital Trends Survey, over 80 percent of corporate survey respondents expect to see an increased use of technology in recruiting sourcing/outreach, candidate screening, and applications, while most also see the tech being used in candidate assessment and compensation package generation. A separate Bersin HR study of recruiting processes meanwhile revealed that “only 12 percent of respondents reported [their own enterprises have] strong sourcing technology, and only 9 percent said they had strong screening technology.”

The pivot to AI technologies is imminent: they have the power to help enterprise HR departments solve challenges related to insufficient or inefficient resume-submission channels, recruitment and hiring, screening for fake resumes, reaching middle/senior-level talents, correcting subjectivity or bias of interviewers, etc.

More specifically, products and platforms powered by predictive analytics, deep learning, natural language understanding, and knowledge maps can help enterprises expedite their scouting and hiring procedures. AI and big data can realize multi-dimensional analysis of the job requirements, accurately match job portraits and determine matching candidates, and quickly determine the pertinence of a candidate’s resume.

    I’ve always wanted to work in IT because it really opens up more opportunities. You can combine travel and work. Or it’s much easier to relocate. Even if you don’t work as a freelancer, there are Android developer jobs with relocation which can also be useful for many professionals who want to know for sure that in a new country they won’t have problems with earnings.
