Artificial intelligence is advancing rapidly, and it’s already having a systematic, measurable impact on jobs. AI, and automation before it, have already assumed many of the physical and repetitive tasks, driving many workers from occupations such as farming, manufacturing, and mining. Meanwhile, people who remain in those industries are more skilled than the manual laborers
As companies look to the future of talent acquisition, they must re-examine talent analytics. Organizations need a more robust approach that harnesses the power of provable, scientific data. Yet according to a new study by Aptitude Research, only 1 in 3 companies are using performance data in their recruitment decisions, and 1 in 2 companies
What does an AI researcher at Google getting fired have to do with talent acquisition? It’s a moment that could spark the beginning of the end for a wild west of artificial intelligence and the emergence of ethical AI into the mainstream. That should spell concern for any recruiting technology that employs AI in a
Black professionals are 26% less likely than their non-Black counterparts to include photos on their LinkedIn profiles, according to recent research findings. That can be a challenge for recruiters eager to source for greater diversity, particularly given LinkedIn’s findings that members whose profiles include photos get 21 times more profile views and receive 36 times
A company’s culture and values are drivers of a strong brand. This is something so obvious, so ingrained in employer branding that it can sometimes cause leaders to overlook another significant influence of their organization’s reputation — candidate experience. More specifically, creating a positive hiring process — from job postings to application screenings and interviews — can
Unconscious bias not only affects hiring decisions — it also affects hiring systems, data, and processes. For example, in 2014, Amazon engineers built an AI-powered hiring tool to auto-select the best applicants from a resume pool. The goal was to automate the resume-screening process, saving recruiters valuable time finding and qualifying top talent. But a
Well, it was somewhat nice while it lasted, right? For recruiters — at least the ones who kept their jobs and weren’t in the industries that were hit hardest by Covid-19 — a temporary hiring advantage in the wake of massive unemployment was a change of pace. I’d say some employers got, dare I say,
The events of the past year have accelerated investment in talent acquisition technology. According to a new report by Aptitude Research, 44% of companies adopted new TA solutions in 2020, and 1 in 4 companies are looking to replace their ATS in 2021. Remote recruiting, economic uncertainty, and the mounting pressure to “do more with
“Unprecedented” was selected as a word of the year in 2020. And while its meaning has since been diluted due to sheer frequency of use, the word still rather accurately describes the current state of affairs. The world of work has been irrevocably distorted by the global pandemic; now more than ever, employees are looking

Recruiters face any number of challenges even when conditions are ideal. Whether it’s elusive candidates, irritable hiring managers or fruitless sourcing campaigns, it can be a very demanding role. Throw in a global pandemic and an economic crisis and suddenly the everyday annoyances seem almost mundane. These unique circumstances have led to a whole new
When working in the hiring and recruitment sphere, it’s so important to continually upskill and build your foundation of knowledge. To get the best candidates, having a greater understanding of particular areas of expertise can be a huge benefit. It allows you to have natural and confident conversations with both hiring managers and talent alike.
Companies are in flux at the moment. With a cycle of lockdowns and a migration to remote work or hybrid models, culture is often being sacrificed in order to focus on the business side of things. Which, to some degree, is understandable. But is company culture actually more important than ever right now? A healthy
During the London 2012 Olympics Usain Bolt set a new event record. Streaking by the competition in a staggering 9.63 seconds, Bolt solidified his position as the fastest man on the planet. It would make sense then, during the 4 x 100m relay, with three teammates who are all statistically slower than Usain, that their
Good leadership is such an important trait. Especially at the moment. In the wake of a pandemic, a migration to remote work and social unrest, we are looking to our leaders to steer us in the right direction, especially in our jobs. But how can managers and senior executives ensure that their policies and goals
