3 Things You Can Do With the Time You Save Using Recruiting Automation

Did you know recruiters spend about 13 hours a week sourcing candidates for a single role?

Sourcing is one of the biggest recruiting time sinks, leaving little time for candidate-recruiter human interaction and building rapport between recruiters. With unemployment at historical lows, an increasing skills gap, and insatiable demand for today’s specialized roles, talent teams are turning to recruiting automation to prioritize personal connections over repetitive, time-consuming sourcing tasks. In fact, 70% of talent acquisition professionals agree that automation would increase their hiring productivity.

Amazon recently narrowed down the list of cities in the running for its second headquarters from more than 200 applicants to just 20 finalists. Unsurprisingly, 9 of the 10 largest metro regions in America remain in the running, while the other 11 finalists range from mid-sized cities with burgeoning tech scenes (Denver, Columbus, Pittsburgh, Raleigh, Miami) to smaller cities and areas just outside of major cities that still offer many of the same amenities and talent pools as their central metropoles (Newark, New Jersey, Northern Virginia, Montgomery County, Maryland).

Win the War for Talent in the Age of AI

The adoption of artificial intelligence for recruiting is happening faster than you may think. Over the next few years, the impact of smart technologies will continue to grow, with recent research from IDC indicating that 67% of organizations plan to adopt AI over the next 5 years. This is no surprise considering many companies have already adopted AI and machine learning to increase productivity, automate business processes and uncover new business insights.

Now, everyone else is following suit, with recruiting and talent acquisition poised to join the AI revolution. With the unemployment rate near record lows and the talent crunch deepening for many key professions, this move will give talent acquisition teams the resources and technology they need to find and hire the best possible talent in a crowded and competitive job market.

If this all sounds right up your alley, you might be interested in joining Entelo on Thursday, December 14 in New York City for "The War for Talent in the Age of AI", a very special event we're hosting to dive into how AI will impact the world of recruiting.
