I am getting a lot of questions about Artificial Intelligence and recruitment. I have even been asked to give several speeches on the impact of AI and machine learning on the future of recruitment.

Over 85% of people who start reading a job ad DON’T end up applying for the position. That’s a huge talent pool you’re missing out on, and it could be fixed by simply rewriting your job ad. There tends to be three main reasons a job ad doesn’t work, either they are boring, and not engaging or they overstate the job requirements and scare off the jobseekers.

I was born on the 24th of March 1988, christened Natasha Maria Foster and for the next 25 years largely called by that name, or some close variation of. Then I started working in recruitment and suddenly, inexplicably, my name became Natalie. It is still one of my favourite things, to post an advert calling for candidates with strong attention to detail and be flooded by emails proudly stating one’s such ability – addressed to the wrong name.

The only thing that makes reading through the never-ending stack of resumes bearable is the odd misprint or typo that makes us crease up with laughter. These examples from JobMob have us wondering if people were ever taught to read their work before handing it in!

It’s obvious. Much of recruitment is changing, very fast. We may not like it, but that is the fact. Technology most obviously, but also candidate behavior and client expectations.

There’s no doubt about it: hiring is becoming more competitive every day. Many organizations are focusing on growth, but there’s only so much skilled talent to go around. Succession planning can help you fill your talent pipeline with strong internal talent, so you can make the most of the workforce you already have. The trick is getting great talent into your organization early in their careers, and developing them into the future leaders your organization needs.

This week saw the resignation of Leader of the Opposition and former Prime Minister of New Zealand, Bill English. In language common only to politicians and sports team managers, Bill will be looking forward to “spending more time” with his family, and pursuing as-yet-to-be-announced endeavors outside of politics/football. Again in typical fashion, tributes have poured in from those who once wouldn’t have pissed on ol’ Bill even if he was on fire.

You’ve posted ads, read more CVs than you can count, conducted interviews and examined psychometric test results – now all you have to do is decide who to hire. Sometimes it’s the easiest decision in the world, but occasionally you can find yourself going back and forth between candidates for days. One thing that often has recruiters on the fence is the age-old question: should you hire someone with the experience you want or someone with the attitude you want?

In fact, Spark Hire’s latest research found that job boards are the number one source of candidates relied upon by companies.

I hate cocktail menus at chain restaurants because they never tell you what the drinks actually cost. They want to trick you into ordering some overpriced, colorful drink that’s more sugar than booze. I’m a sucker for drinks with tiny umbrellas, but I always have to ask what the price is before ordering one because I hate being surprised when the bill comes around.
