The Real Problem with Traditional Recruiting
Here’s what usually happens. A candidate applies for your job. Their resume sits in a pile for days. When you finally get around to reviewing it, you have to manually enter their information into your system. Then you need to schedule an interview, send emails back and forth, and hope they’re still interested.
Meanwhile, your best candidates are getting offers from companies that move faster. They’re not waiting around for you to get organized.
What AI Recruitment Actually Does
Think of AI recruitment as having a really efficient assistant who never sleeps. This assistant can chat with candidates the moment they show interest. It asks them questions, collects their information, and even reviews their qualifications.
The best part? Everything syncs directly with your UKG system. No more copying and pasting. No more switching between tabs. The AI handles the boring stuff so you can focus on the conversations that actually matter.
