Recruitment Trends To Watch Out For

No one goes into business thinking that their greatest challenge will be finding the right people to support their business and its customers. Every day, you hear about the countless people seeking work and experts taking jobs much below their skill and experience levels to get a paycheck. But no one can explain the incongruity of this situation. They just continue to hire the wrong people and face issues with their performance and excessive staff turnover.

If these challenges sound too familiar to you, please know that the expert staff at Potere Search has been providing reliable, long-term staffing solutions for its clients since 2018. Our philosophy is to work diligently until you have the right candidate and never stop until the position is successfully filled. We make no excuses; we only deliver solutions to make hiring staff the easiest part of operating your business. We can make these lofty promises because we pride ourselves on providing professional and personal service to locate the best people to work for you and your company. This simple pledge that many call old fashioned is actually a tried and true practice that cannot be replicated by today’s streamlining and use of AI.

Potere Search Trusts People More Than AI

Many recruiting firms are entrusting the majority of their job to AI tools. These programs are sifting through thousands of resumes and cover letters to select what they consider the best candidates. However, most recruiters and employers do not clearly understand the criteria used by the programs to select potential new hires. So, the results can easily be skewed, causing a great deal of frustration and wasted time when you speak to the “ideal” candidate selected by other recruiters.

Why Is AI Failing At Recruitment?

AI resume evaluations are similar to a giant Google search for the ideal employee for a job. The system relies on specific keywords about the client’s job, skills, and industry seeking a new employee. But those tools are not perfect. In many cases, technical terms or jargon can create added challenges when selecting the right candidates because of a lack of understanding of the terminology. Where a staff member would know and understand the job tasks and work performed by their clients who are seeking employees, the computer might be using the wrong definitions and context.

Keyword Stuffing At A New Level

Search engines like Google have created specific policies to eliminate content that has been created overusing keywords. This keyword-stuffing practice was devised only to generate high search engine results rather than provide quality content. Keyword stuffing on resumes is a simple way to get past the AI program selection process, even if you are not an expert in the field. Applicants know this and have used the process to get selected, knowing there is little chance they will speak to a subject matter expert at the recruiting company.

What Sets Potere Search Apart From The Rest Of The Industry?

By eliminating the personal touch and expertise of a human being reading applications and speaking to applicants, recruiters speed up the selection process but undermine the quality of the results. At Potere Search, we never take the easy way out. Our staff is dedicated to providing the personal attention and service needed to secure the top recruits to fill your job openings.
