AI for recruitment: Case study
From clunky recruitment to efficient: How Jane streamlined recruitment with AI
CLIENT:
Jane is an accomplished HR consultant based in the UK, specialising in recruitment strategies for fast-growing startups. With a passion for connecting talent with opportunity, she leverages innovative technologies, including AI, to streamline hiring processes and enhance candidate experiences.
THE BRIEF:
Jane, a recruitment manager at a fast-growing startup in the UK, was facing significant challenges in her hiring process.
With an increasing number of applications and a pressing need to fill roles quickly, she found herself overwhelmed by the time-consuming tasks of writing job descriptions, screening resumes and coordinating interviews
THE PROBLEM:
Jane's recruitment process was slow and inefficient, leading to prolonged vacancies and frustration among hiring managers.
The writing of job descriptions was taking too much time getting sign off from a multitude of people, manual screening of resumes was taking up to 15 hours a week, causing delays in finding the right candidates and trying to coordinate interview slots was far too time consuming.
This inefficiency not only impacted team productivity but also risked losing top talent to competitors who could hire faster and she was worried about losing this client.
DREAM OUTCOME:
Jane envisioned a streamlined recruitment process that would significantly reduce time-to-hire while maintaining high standards for candidate quality.
She wanted to automate repetitive tasks, allowing her to focus on engaging with candidates and enhancing the overall hiring experience.
She wanted this revised process to be something she could duplicate across her client portfolio simply and easily.
THE SOLUTION:
We introduced Jane to AI-powered recruitment tools that could automate the writing and signing off of job descriptions and streamline the candidate management process using a white-label applicant tracking system (ATS).
By implementing advanced algorithms for screening candidates and integrating online calendars for scheduling, we helped her create a more efficient hiring workflow.
Whilst AI was the solution, it was not typically how we would structure outcomes and solutions for clients - hence not using AI just for the sake of it.
OUR PROCESS:
Step one: Reviewed current recruitment workflow: We assessed Jane's existing hiring process to identify bottlenecks and inefficiencies.
Step two: Automated job description creation: Implemented AI tools that generated job descriptions quickly and accurately, reducing the time spent on approvals and ensuring consistency across postings.
Step three: Recommended AI Screening Tools: Assessed requirements and identified AI tools capable of swiftly processing large volumes of resumes, ensuring that only qualified candidates moved forward in the hiring pipeline.
Step four: Integrated online calendars: Set up automated scheduling systems that synced with external calendars, making it easy to coordinate interviews without back-and-forth communication.
Step five: Trained Jane's team: Provided training on how to effectively use the AI tools and online calendar (with future training on chosen ATS), ensuring they could maximise their capabilities while maintaining a personal touch in candidate interactions.
OUTCOMES:
Time-to-hire reduced immediately by 25% through making short changes, allowing Jane's team to fill positions more rapidly.
Job description creation time decreased by 60%, freeing up valuable hours for strategic candidate engagement.
Screening time will decrease, allowing Jane to focus on higher-value tasks.
The quality of hires will improve providing AI tool configured adequately to ensure a more objective evaluation of candidates based on skills and qualifications.
Immediate enhanced candidate experience led to positive feedback, with applicants appreciating timely updates and streamlined communication.
Jane's immediate success story illustrates how leveraging AI can transform recruitment practices. By automating processes and improving efficiency, she not only enhanced her team's productivity but also created a more positive experience for candidates.
