Is your organization leveraging the power of artificial intelligence (AI) and data-derived talent insights when it comes to talent identification, recruitment, and nurturing? If not, you could be falling behind the curve. With recruitment becoming more sprawling and complex by the day, using AI to surface top talent and facilitate best hires is becoming a given.
According to SHRM, consulting firm Mercer’s Global Talent Trends 2019 report noted that a full sixty percent of U.S.-based companies have made plans to increase their use of workplace automation, with HR finally beginning to catch up to sales and marketing departments.
Identify Core Competencies
Sourcing candidates with the required core competencies is easier with AI on the job to rapidly filter candidates for needed skills, even if the candidate did not list them all on their resumé. Roughly two-thirds of those working in talent acquisition surveyed desperately need insights that will improve their ability to identify candidates without spending hours sifting through resumes.
You need more than a simple keyword matcher to pull ideal candidates out of the pile. Competency is only one factor in a well-rounded candidate, and more complex AI solutions are needed to match candidates to openings for culture add. Fortunately, the ability to blind resumes provides a process that is less biased and allows competent candidates to shine.
Predictive Analytics in Action
According to one study, a shortage of more than 85.2 million skilled workers worldwide will exist by 2030. As automation and augmentations shift change the skills employers need, jobs must be redesigned, and descriptions updated. Competition for talent will become even more competitive.
Predictive analytics tools can help organizations not only identify current and future skill shortages, but identify where changes can be made and which individuals in the labor force can be reskilled or upskilled to fill skills gaps. Investing in your employees now can help you be prepared to meet future demands.
Don’t Look for Perfect Candidates – Build Perfect Teams Instead
HR departments, recruiters, and COOs are happy to embrace a more data-driven approach, but two out of five professionals simply don’t have the data or the time to surface actionable talent insights. Intelligent tools, like recruitment AIs, can help pull out actionable information about your current employees and potential candidates that can be used to drive transformation, and they can do this by dramatically increasing your recruiting ROI.
By understanding key data about your best employees or top matching candidates, you can match the right people to the right positions in your company, shuffling until all the pieces fit and the puzzle is complete. Forget about finding the perfect candidate for a flat, two-dimensional job description, and focus on well-rounded profiles that tell you more than just the basics. You can use extra data and insights to build a team that is stronger than the sum of its parts.
