Generative AI is revolutionizing recruitment: figures, uses, and perspectives

Introduction

Generative artificial intelligence (Gen AI) is profoundly transforming the recruitment sector. From candidate selection to user experience, it is redefining the practices of human resources professionals.

Revealing figures:

• 170 million new jobs will be created by 2030 thanks to AI, despite the elimination of 92 million positions, representing a net gain of 78 million jobs.
• 70% of companies plan to use AI in their recruitment processes by the end of 2025.‍
• 82% of companies already use AI for sorting resumes, and 40% use it to communicate with candidates.‍
• 56% of recruiters believe that searching for candidates on different platforms will be replaced by AI.

How AI is transforming recruitment?

Automation of repetitive tasks: AI can quickly sort resumes, analyze applications, and shortlist relevant profiles, reducing the time spent on administrative tasks.

Improved candidate experience: Through chatbots and automated tracking systems, candidates receive faster and more personalized responses, improving their perception of the company.

Reduced bias: AI can help minimize unconscious bias by evaluating candidates based on objective criteria, thus promoting greater diversity.

Predictive analytics: By examining data from candidates and current employees, AI can predict future performance and cultural fit, helping to make more informed hiring decisions.

Towards a collaborative future between AI and recruiters:

Far from replacing human resources professionals, AI acts as a complementary tool, allowing them to focus on higher-value tasks such as recruitment strategy, talent development, and corporate culture.
