Recruiter Real Talk: How to Improve Candidate Engagement Using AI

What Is Candidate Engagement?

Candidate engagement is a lot like customer engagement — it centers on an organization developing an ongoing relationship with an individual.

But instead of encouraging people to buy, the goal of candidate engagement is more relational than transactional. Recruitment isn’t just about getting qualified candidates through the door; it’s about keeping them interested throughout the application process and helping them land a job they’ll love.

Why Job Boards Are Partnering with AI Recruiting Vendors

In a market where it’s tougher to hire than ever before, organizations are under a lot of pressure to source the very best candidates from a limited talent pool.

At the same time, industry suppliers are needing to think outside the box when it comes to technical innovation, especially if they want to stand out from the competition.

For traditional job boards, this has required a real step-change in their approach. While historically these platforms had the sole purpose of connecting candidates with job opportunities, nowadays they offer a whole host of products to help companies boost their employer brand and promote their roles even further.

Part of the mystery falls on the recruiting industry itself. In sales, you can gauge the value of software by tracking the new opportunities it adds to the pipeline or the number of converted leads.

INFOGRAPHIC: The Science Of Recruiting Subject Lines

As any seasoned recruiter knows, the fate of your recruiting outreach often comes down to just one sentence – your subject line.
