These days, AI is just about everywhere you look \u2013 even if, at first glance, you might not notice it. From digital assistants to smart devices to tailored entertainment recommendations, AI is learning and adapting our behaviours. Ben Carter, Senior Director of Automation and AI at Bullhorn, says, <\/span>\u201cWe are embracing AI because it\u2019s making our lives easier.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

Like nearly every other industry, recruitment is ready to put AI to use. According to our latest <\/span>GRID Industry Trends Report<\/span><\/a>, 58% of UK recruitment agencies experimented with AI in 2023. What\u2019s more, agencies with an AI policy were the most likely to report revenue growth in 2023, followed by those experimenting with <\/span>generative AI<\/span><\/a>. AI will elevate everyone\u2019s game, but early adopters will rise above the rest.<\/span><\/p>\n

When it comes to leveraging AI, the possibilities can seem endless. How can your agency take stock of the latest technologies, integrate AI into your daily operations, and capitalise on all that AI can do?<\/span><\/p>\n

At Bullhorn\u2019s recent <\/span>Roadshow event series<\/span><\/a>, Carter led a conversation about AI in recruitment, Bullhorn\u2019s roadmap for AI, and how to turn hype into value. Below, check out the highlights from his session to learn how to get started with AI today and in the months and years to come.<\/span><\/p>\n

The journey to AI<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The agencies that will be best prepared to use AI will have already laid the groundwork. They\u2019ll have <\/span>digitised their data<\/span><\/a>, ensuring their records are contained in a single source of truth. They\u2019ve <\/span>analysed their data<\/span><\/a> so they can gain a better understanding of the data they have and how to improve their processes. And they\u2019ll have applied <\/span>automation<\/span><\/a> across all of their processes, letting technology take the lead on rote tasks so they can focus on high-value actions. Said Carter, <\/span>\u201cThey’re ready for AI because their data’s in a good place, their processes are in a good place, and their staff are ready for something new.\u201d<\/b><\/p>\n

The AI landscape<\/b><\/h3>\n

Although ChatGPT<\/a> is in the spotlight right now, there\u2019s much more to AI than just generative AI. Machine learning, natural language processing, discriminative models, and supervised learning all fall under the umbrella of AI. Many of these tools have already been part of recruitment technology; for example, CV parsing is just natural language processing that recognises keywords.<\/span><\/p>\n

In 2024, Bullhorn is ready to build a more productive user experience by <\/span>integrating AI in various ways throughout the recruitment workflow.<\/span><\/a> Let\u2019s take a look at the three types of AI that are poised to have the most significant impact on recruitment.<\/span><\/p>\n

Generative AI<\/b><\/h3>\n

You\u2019re probably the most familiar with generative AI. If you\u2019ve used ChatGPT or Google\u2019s Gemini (formerly Bard), you\u2019ve used generative AI. It helps you write content and messages, and in a relationship-driven, communication-heavy industry like recruitment, it has a range of use cases:<\/span><\/p>\n
