Embracing the automation and AI revolution in recruitment

By Aaron McIntosh, Managing Director of Bullhorn APAC

In the ever-evolving world of technology, automation and artificial intelligence (AI) in particular, have now become readily accessible to the average person. We find ourselves at the dawn of a revolution where automation and AI are reshaping industries.

We’re fast approaching a critical crossroads moment, where we must choose which path to take. There will be those who wholeheartedly embrace AI and all the remarkable benefits it brings, and there will be those who resist its advancement, wary of the unknown.

There’s no question, AI and tech will shape the future of the recruitment industry, but how far will it go? Where will it stop? What will it all look like? And, ultimately which path will you choose to take?

While the recruitment industry has traditionally been slow to adopt new technologies, automation solutions provide a glimpse into the immense potential at our fingertips and can be used to enhance productivity and more effectively communicate with candidates at scale.

At APSCo Australia’s recent Emerge conference I facilitated an esteemed panel of experts. Together we took a deep dive into the world of automation and AI to provide a comprehensive view of its true capabilities within the recruitment industry where it can streamline operations, and drive productivity gains.

During the discussion Vinney Brown, General Manager from ManpowerGroup commented, “Bullhorn Automation, it’s a form of artificial intelligence which we’re using successfully at the ManpowerGroup. An example is on a candidate’s first day, when they are starting a new assignment they receive an automated thank you video message from me.”

Automation is not a distant concept for the recruitment industry; it is already helping numerous agencies thrive in a changing landscape. Get on board to make sure you don’t get left in the minority.
