RECRUITMENT AUTOMATION: A STRATEGIC MOVE OR RISK FOR TALENT ACQUISITION?

 


E-recruitment is viewed and defined as the organization of recruitment process and activities, which, by means of technology and human agents, facilitate time-and space-independent collaboration and interaction in order to identify, attract, and influence competent candidates (Tyagi, 2016).

 

What is Recruitment Automation?


The process of automated or augmented artificial intelligence (AI) software, smart applications, and many more search engines to identify, attract, select, and recruit new employees by HRM professionals.

The responsibility of locating the right people for the organization has turned into a burden to human resources because of high competitiveness, excess workload, and large candidate pools. 

As a solution for a more efficient and accurate recruitment process, HR professionals started to use e-recruitment options such as CHATBOTS, MANATAL, INDEED, MY INTERVIEW, PARADOX, FETCHER, SEEKOUT, SEEKER, and RECRUIT CRM all around the world.
















Global Implementation

The world's largest job market in the Middle East, Dubai, has conducted and implemented e-recruitment magnificently. In the population of Dubai, more than 80% are considered expats, and the rest counted as locals. The 80% of the population has blended with numerous nationalities, religions, and cultures.

The whole population has migrated to the UAE as job seekers with different kinds of education and experience levels. On the other hand, each single day Dubai is giving opportunity and place to start up new businesses and organizations from all around the world. For the overloaded resumes, job applicants have found a solution through AI-based applications and websites such as Naukri Gulf, Indeed, and Bayt.

Many candidates are applying for various job openings through this kind of software without getting fed up with walk-in interviews. Each candidate can observe the application status, suitability as a percentage for the caption vacancy, and the possibility of selection. Each application or vacancy will show organization background, job description, and organizational expectations in education, experience, and conceptions.

To maintain human touch in the acquisition process, some organizations has included video interviews, Audio descriptions from candidates about their point of view, FAQ’s, Important MCQ questions which can be answered through app. In this way Organizations like DIB, EMIRATES, DAMAC, BERKELEY and EMMAR has achieved their efficiency, Productivity and moral support from human capital to meet the prospective goals.

 

 AI is assumed to replace administrative tasks in both the recruitment process and HRM in the recruitment activities, which will intervene job applicable factors, and the recruitment outcomes. AI would extend on the conventional recruitment process and be competent for offering more extensive options for both the job applicants and company (Singh & Shaurya, 2021).

  2. Great analysis of how best to adopt technology and the interpersonal aspects of the recruitment process. Even though analytical tools and algorithms simplify this activity, it remains evident that emotional intelligence and creative thinking of human participation are invaluable for evaluating the candidate’s suitability. That balance needs to be maintained for talent acquisition to be effective. Thanks for sharing.

  3. Recruitment automation can be both a strategic advantage and a potential risk, depending on how it’s implemented. Automating tasks like resume screening and interview scheduling can save recruiters time and allow them to focus on building relationships with top candidates, which is strategic for talent acquisition. However, over-reliance on automation could lead to bias in hiring if algorithms are not carefully monitored and adjusted, potentially missing out on great talent who don’t fit specific algorithmic criteria. Finding a balance, where automation supports but doesn’t entirely replace human judgment, seems to be the key to making it a beneficial tool for talent acquisition.

  7. A very interesting blog! The integration of AI in job hiring can streamline processes and improve efficiency, especially in fast-paced job markets like Dubai. However, the balance between AI and human intervention is crucial as we cannot fully rely on AI and qualities like morale, attitude, and creativity can never be replaced by AI and automation. This insight emphasizes the need for a strategic blend of AI tools with personal engagement to truly enhance talent acquisition.
