AI Won't Fix a Broken Recruiting Process

Key Takeaways

I spoke with a staffing firm and they were using an AI agent for outreach. That was this huge improvement. Well, the problem was they use it just for outreach by the way they're doing their search and match for that outreach before they did it. They were doing just like just specific Ruby on Rails developer that type of thing and they're submitting the wrong candidates then as well to the client. So then these candidates stopped saying I don't want to work with you. You're submitting me like five jobs. I didn't get a single interview. What it was is they needed not Ruby and Rails. They need a slightly different code set. Well, if they actually knew that, oh, this person could do both of those and then submit it with that, then they wouldn't get ghosted. They'd get higher placement rate.
