How Recruiters are using GenAI in 2024

Generative AI (GenAI) is rapidly transforming the landscape of work. While the full scope of its impact remains uncertain, one thing is clear: the recruiting industry is majorly interested in GenAI. With the potential to streamline recruitment, improve the hiring process, and more, we’re exploring ways recruiters can harness the power of GenAI in 2024. Daxtra explains.

GenAI is used across a variety of industries for things like chatbots, translations, or writing code.

The adoption of AI tools to assist recruiters has grown in the last year SIA reported that Bullhorn’s GRID 2024 Industry Trends research found “more than half of recruitment firms, 55%, began experimenting with artificial intelligence in 2023”.

GenAI excels at text generation tasks, but as the technology continues to advance, recruiting has been able to apply the tech in several ways.

Here are a few ways recruiters might utilise GenAI in 2024:

Summarising Resumes

Recruiters could use GenAI to summarise candidate resumes, reducing manual work and helping them better match candidates to opportunities.

Ultimately, this can lead to more efficient hiring and improved satisfaction for clients and candidates.

Creating Job Text

GenAI can craft job descriptions, job ads or copy for promotional LinkedIn posts to help recruiters write about and share more jobs at scale.

Recruiters can use GenAI tools to get ideas and recommendations, making it easier to refine language and support those who are less confident in their writing skills.

Candidate Engagement

Recruiters could use GenAI to create personalised emails and power chatbots for real-time responses.

Used correctly, GenAI can help make the most of candidate engagement tools to provide better engagement at scale, giving more candidates positive experiences with hiring.

It’s important to note that GenAI in recruitment works best when it tackles tedious manual work for recruiters.

And, when selecting GenAI tools, recruiters should also consider important factors like the tool’s training data, data privacy issues and potential bias from the GenAI model.

Recruiters must thoroughly vet AI vendors to understand the tools’ development and data, and to ensure compliance with data privacy laws.

Daxtra has leveraged AI for many years, and our product roadmap is incorporating GenAI-powered improvements into our solutions.

It’s likely that GenAI in recruitment will continue to pick up speed, but by preparing your team and using it responsibly, you can make the most of it.
