Traditional methods have been the basis of recruitment processes for many years and have provided certain advantages. However, with the rapid advancement of technology and digitalization, new methods have also been included in recruitment processes. Innovative methods such as artificial intelligence, data analytics, online platforms and video interviews have begun to make recruitment processes faster, more efficient and fair. Employers’ use of both traditional and new methods in a blended manner will provide a significant advantage in recruiting the best talents.
Let’s take a look at the new methods;
Artificial Intelligence (AI)
- Pre-screening: AI quickly scans applications and identifies suitable candidates. It performs a preliminary evaluation of candidates by performing keyword and skill analysis.
- Chatbots and Virtual Assistants: It stays in constant communication with candidates, answers questions and provides information about the process.
Online Job Postings and Social Media
- Job Posting Sites: Platforms such as LinkedIn, Indeed, and Glassdoor allow job postings to reach a wide audience.
- Social Media: Job postings are shared on platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram, and large candidate audiences are reached.
Video Interviews
- Live and Recorded Video Interviews: Allow candidates to participate in remote interviews. This eliminates geographical limitations and makes it possible to reach a wider candidate pool.
Online Assessment Tools
- Psychometric Tests and Skill-Based Assessments: Used to measure candidates’ personality traits, cognitive abilities, and professional skills.
Applicant Tracking Systems
- Application Management: Tracks, evaluates, and organizes candidates’ applications. These systems automate recruitment processes and make them more efficient.
All these new methods have started to automate the time-consuming processes such as newspaper advertisements, fairs, reviewing CVs and cover pages one by one, and conducting each interview face-to-face, making it possible to reach the right candidate in a shorter time.
Artificial intelligence, in particular, offers great advantages to employers by making revolutionary changes in recruitment processes. Effective in many areas from pre-selection to candidate evaluation, from data analysis to communication, AI makes recruitment processes faster, more efficient and fair. For this reason, it is of great importance for companies to adopt artificial intelligence technologies and follow innovations in this field.
