"Recruitment agencies are going nowhere, tech won’t make them redundant but, admittedly, they – and the sector – has to change."

You've found the perfect candidate but there's a hitch. "They’re too senior. You know it. They know it. And so will the client." 

Katrina Collier, Social Recruiting Trainer & Keynote, and Audra Knight, Employer Branding Nerd, were joined by Danielle Kluge, Senior Sourcing Nerd for Pontoon Solutions to find out all about responsive sourcing. 

"One area in particular where AI is driving change and delivering benefit, is recruitment.  Faced with inordinate levels of administration and high volumes of repetitive tasks in the recruitment and retention of people, AI can play a role in taking away much of this administration to free up resources for additional projects."

"Right from announcing the availability of a job vacancy to on-boarding a candidate, there are various checks and approvals that are required to have a seamless journey of closing a job opening ... Without the right process in place, valuable time is lost and leads to undesirable moments for both the recruiter and the candidate."
