Recruiting Technology

Abstract

This chapter addresses the core elements of technology used in talent acquisition, leveraging findings from a recent survey of senior talent acquisition leaders across the United States. A special-focus deep dive includes the core of most company’s talent acquisition technology, the applicant tracking system. Other topics discussed include social media tools, virtual interviews, artificial intelligence, and other types of technology tools used throughout the hiring lifecycle. Recommendations on when to use each type with different industries/candidates/human resources systems are offered and risks identified. Technology recommendations should be considered within the context of rapid change in this field.
