Watch the webinar here: https://bit.ly/2Mpq1tv SSO Week Europe Digital 2018 featuring Matthew Weaver, Consultancy Director at Objectivity, talking about Intelligent Automation in Recruitment. Recruiting the right people is the key to prosperity. AI technologies are playing an increasingly important role in recruitment and talent acquisition. The goal is not to replace your workforce, it is to complement their skills and experience. Empowering them to do better things for your organisation and for themselves. We must attract, recruit, develop and retain great people – people who are aligned with our goals, our values and our working culture. Intelligent automation can support each of these steps. In this webinar, Matthew Weaver discusses intelligent sourcing, automated workflow, cognitive selection, real-time interactions and other tools which can leverage the recruitment process.

People are your greatest asset
In any successful organisation, people are the
greatest asset. Continued success relies on your
ability to attract, recruit, develop and retain the
best talent in the marketplace.
Finding great people is the key to prosperity. It is
also costly, labour intensive and prone to selection
bias. Find the wrong people and your cost is
multiplied many times over. If the best people are
not working for you, they are likely working for your
competitors.
AI and related technologies are playing an
increasingly important role in recruitment and
talent acquisition. The goal is not to replace your
workforce, it is to complement their skills and
experience. Empowering them to do better things
for your organisation and for themselves.

Always consider the bigger picture
Retain
IA relieves employees of
some of the repetitive but
important tasks they need to
execute.
Predictive algorithms can
detect when an employee’s
engagement level drops.
Develop
Self-assessment data can be analysed
to identify appropriate training.
Spaced repetition optimises
learning time.
Technology does not replace
personal training and mentoring.
Recruit
IA provides relative weighting for
applicants using CV information
and online activities. Leading to
a reduction in workloads where
recruitment specialists can focus
more on the best applicants.
Attract
Intelligent automation (IA)
allows you to create profiles
for key applicants.
This allows your to create
tailored communications that
provide a personal touch.

The numbers may be higher than you think
Time to hire Cost to hire1 Effort to hire
In 2017, Glassdoor revealed that it takes
an average of 24 days to recruit a new
employee. Often >60 days for senior roles.
The data comes from almost 84,000
interview reviews shared anonymously,
across 25 different countries.
In 2018, the average UK salary
was £27,721 according to the
UK government.
Costs of replacing an employee
with average earnings can be up
to £11,000. This can rise
exponentially for senior roles.
There seems little doubt that
the effort to find great people is
increasing as demand (and
competition) increases.
Intelligent automation can help
to reduce the total effort whilst
improving the outcomes.

Define success, don’t trip over it
Matthew Weaver
Consultancy Director, Objectivity Ltd.
“
Define clear outcomes, prioritise your needs and focus on one thing
at a time. Don’t try to solve everything at once.
Benefits can be achieved incrementally, without a large up-front
investment.
Beware of diminishing returns, and always have a clear goal in
mind. AI promises many things, consider the hype but don’t be
afraid to challenge it.
Exploiting technology is a little
like using a GPS system. If you
have a clear destination in mind,
its value is unquestionable.
If you just get into a car and drive,
it will faithfully track your
progress. Where you end up is
a different matter entirely.
If you enter the wrong destination,
you’ll end up a long way from
home, faster than you thought.
With a long drive back, frustrated
passengers, and an unexpected
fuel bill to deal with.
