How Technology Can Prevent a Talent Acquisition Panic
While the recent low unemployment rate trend is great for the U.S. economy, it does cause problems when companies must fill new or open positions. Human Resources professionals then feel rushed to attract, interview and hire qualified candidates.
What is the best way to optimize your HR services and strategy to avoid a constant panic over talent acquisition? Signet Screening recommends learning more about the various technologies that have emerged as much-needed solutions.
The Right Tools to Find the Right Candidates
Hiring managers should find and use the right tools to find the right candidates. Recent trends point to artificial intelligence and machine learning as advancements for gathering and analyzing important recruitment data.
“Currently, the top uses of talent acquisition data are for increasing retention, evaluating skills gaps and building better employment offers,” says Roy Maurer of SHRM. Predictive talent analytics can map characteristics and skills to predict strong work performance.
With this data, recruiters can target sourcing channels to generate a continual flow of quality candidates.
“AI is in the early stages of revolutionizing talent acquisition by helping sourcers and recruiters work faster and smarter by automating administrative tasks and generating computer-powered insight,” Mauer adds.
For example, users can refine machine-learning algorithms to automate repetitive aspects of the recruitment process, including resume and application review.
HR teams can also use machine learning to help identify top candidates from large online candidate pools on Indeed, LinkedIn and other job boards. As Sushman Biswas of HR Technologist explains, “At a time when 46 percent of talent acquisition leaders struggle with attracting qualified candidates, AI can automate sourcing by scraping the internet or resume databases to identify best-fit candidates for open positions.”
