What Happens When AI Revolutionize The Way Recruiters Recruit? by Mark Anthony Dyson

My guest today is Destiny Lalane, recruiter and founder of Recruiting School. She’s been experimenting with ChatGPT and Open AI as recruiting tools. She’s been posting her findings on LinkedIn to help job seekers and recruiters discover AI tools and their usefulness.

Highlights:

  • AI tools can help recruiters humanize the process by reducing, doing redundant work as a recruiter.
  • Destiny talks about the framework, job descriptions, and templates she created.
  • She mentions how she uses Boolean searches.
  • Can AI read resumes as a recruiter does?
  • Will AI make the hiring process more manageable? Find better “fit” job candidates?
  • ChatGPT can (possibly) help make better content, improve grammar, and sound more empathetic.

You are more than welcome to join the discussion.
