Over the last few years, artificial intelligence has seeped into nearly every aspect of daily life, from research and analytics to automation and generative content. There’s no ignoring the impact on any industry, division, or process; talent acquisition is no exception.
In Mercer’s 2024 survey on the strategic adoption of AI in talent acquisition, they revealed that 81% of respondents use AI for screening, 60% for interviewing, and 50% for evaluations.[1] Here’s our take on AI’s impact on the Dallas talent acquisition landscape.
Automated resume screening can help you identify top candidates more quickly. This allows the hiring manager to focus on making those connections versus being buried in endless stacks of cover letters and resumes. You can focus on the most promising candidates and make the most of your time.
Dallas is a vibrant national hub that’s home to many races, cultures, and world views. Bias, by nature, is often unintentional or subconscious. AI tools have no such bias and can help you elevate highly qualified candidates without fear of racial or gender bias filtering them out. This approach goes the extra mile to prove that you’re building a positive and inclusive culture.
Culture is what makes a company a community. A culture mismatch or toxic environment is also one of the top reasons for leaving a place of employment. AI tools can be educated on your company’s mission, values, and vision. Based on what’s important to your organization, AI can identify themes in candidate information that indicate they would be a strong fit for your company culture.
Hiring is a necessary part of organizational growth and success. However, if AI tools can handle the tedious heaving lifting components of the hiring process, this frees up HR teams to focus more on people, relationships, and retention. They can improve the hands-on components of the process, both for candidates and the company.
When working with a staffing agency like IDR, all of these opportunities to streamline are built-in and elevated to ensure a seamless hiring experience.
