What we cover with generative AI:

  1. Build a Job Description
  2. Plan the Interview Pipeline
  3. Draft Acceptance and Rejection Emails
  4. Begin an Acceptance Criteria
  5. Draft the 30, 60, 90 Day Onboarding Objectives

In this video, I dive into the incredible potential of using AI within businesses, specifically in the hiring and recruiting process. AI offers a straightforward entry point for businesses to leverage their power, providing immense value in solving a significant problem that consumes a lot of time and energy within organizations today.

“There is a wave coming. I can’t predict the fallout but I guarantee that some people will be surfing the wave and others will be swept up by it.”

Using ChatGPT, particularly the latest version (ChatGPT4), I demonstrate how AI can revolutionize recruitment workflows. I’m amazed at the efficiency and effectiveness AI brings to the table, allowing me to save a considerable amount of time. And the best part? It’s incredibly affordable, making it accessible to businesses of all sizes. When compared to the cost of traditional, human labor, consider it free.

“Chat GPT is not just a simple database search; it is a reasoning engine which understands context and adapts to new information.”

With ChatGPT, I start by setting expectations and providing the necessary variables, such as my need for a job description for a senior software engineer. It immediately starts tailoring the job description based on the new information I’ve provided, showcasing its reasoning capabilities. This feature is particularly valuable when it comes to avoiding common pitfalls in job descriptions, like over-inflated qualifications or irrelevant requirements.

“These generated job descriptions can serve as a great starting point, but customization and refinement are crucial before finalizing them.”

But the AI assistance doesn’t stop there. I utilize ChatGPT to generate:

  • the interview process
  • screening steps
  • acceptance and rejection emails
  • technical assessments
  • and even a 30–60–90-day plan for the new hire.

The speed and accuracy with which Chat GPT generates these assets is mind-blowing.

“In less than 20 minutes, we have accomplished what would typically take hours or even days of manual work.”

While most AI-generated content isn’t ready to be deployed as-is, it provides an excellent foundation and saves hours of work. By refining and customizing the generated materials, I can create a more comprehensive and personalized hiring experience for candidates.

In the end, it should allow me to spend more time on human-critical tasks like getting to know candidates and reviewing applicants.

“AI can complement the human experience, providing objective criteria and streamlining the hiring process.”

By leveraging AI, businesses can streamline their workflows, freeing up human resources to focus on tasks that require uniquely human skills. AI assists in generating objective evaluation criteria, making the hiring process fairer and more efficient.

Enjoy.
