Streamlining recruitment processes with AI

The Tech Recruitment landscape is more competitive than ever. With a growing demand for the best talent, happier workers creating smaller talent pools, and salary wars to keep top talent, every talent function needs to stay at the top of its game.??

In order to do this we as recruiters need to keep processes streamlined, stay objective and be highly efficient in our pipelining, our communications and engagement.?

So, how do we keep streamlined, objective, and efficient in this new age of hyper competitive recruitment? And more topically could Artificial Intelligence be the answer???

We looked at two specific tools, Fireflies and Metaview. ?

Meeting assistants like Fireflies and Metaview offer innovative solutions by automating tasks like recording, transcribing, and summarising meetings. But which one is the right fit for you??

Let's review both and the benefits we’ve seen from two AI platforms.?

Fireflies:??

• Note-taking:?Transcribe interviews automatically with 90%+ accuracy,?eliminating the burden of manual notetaking.?Capturing every detail,?from keywords to sentiment,?for a complete picture of each candidate.?
• Remove Bias:?Reduce unconscious bias with objective,?searchable transcripts.?Analyse conversations for skills,?cultural fit,?and red flags without relying on subjective impressions.?
• Enhanced Collaboration:?Share AI-powered summaries,?transcripts,?or key soundbites with hiring managers.?Allowing us to facilitate informed decisions and ensure everyone is on the same page.?
• Identify Top Performers:?Analyse interview patterns and communication styles to identify candidates with high potential.?Gain insights into team dynamics and predict future performance.?

?

Metaview:??

• Record and Analyse Interviews:?Capture interviews seamlessly and leverage AI-powered analysis to understand candidate strengths and weaknesses.?
• Actionable Feedback:?Generate automated interview summaries and highlight key moments for deeper dives.?Identify areas for improvement and provide constructive feedback to both candidates and interviewers.?
• Data-Driven Insights:?Track interview trends and identify areas for improvement in your hiring process.?Analyse the interviewer's effectiveness and coach them to ask better questions in interviews.?
• Personalise the Experience:? Provide candidates with automated feedback based on their interview performance, highlighting strengths and areas for improvement and softer skills such as sentiment, communication style, and keyword usage. This allows them to gain valuable insights and prepare effectively for future interviews.?

?

Overall Benefits of leveraging AI tools:?

• Faster Decision-making:?With AI-powered insights and collaboration tools,?make informed hiring decisions quickly and efficiently with a reduced time commitment and streamlined workflows with scorecards and search/filter functions. This allows the hiring community to have everything ready for wrap ups at speed and can easily be shared with other stakeholders/sponsors for additional input without slowing down the pace of the process.?
• Increased Outputs & Reduced Costs:?Streamline workflows,?save time on note-taking and analysis,?and hire the right candidate in fewer interviews.?
• Data-driven Recruitment:?Make decisions based on objective data and reduce subjective bias,?by analysing data points like word choice, speech patterns, and response time. This data can supplement subjective impressions and reduce the influence of unconscious bias based on factors like appearance, gender, or communication style.?

Fireflies and Metaview are game-changers for talent teams seeking to optimise their workflows and identify top talent. By leveraging AI, you can gain unprecedented insights into interviews, make data-driven decisions, and build a recruiting strategy, quicker and more efficiently.??

Do not be fooled though, each platform does leave room for improvement. Fireflies has limited interview-specific functions and an ever so slightly temperamental transcriber should there be any loud noises or thicker accents (my Birmingham one for example rolls eyes) whilst Metaview is less versatile for general meetings and is focussed heavily on video conferencing.??

Essentially if you’re looking general meeting assistance and team collaboration across various platforms, Fireflies emerges as a strong contender. On the other hand if your primary focus is on optimising the interview process and gaining valuable recruitment insights, Metaview can be a real trailblazer.?

The best part, for me, however, is that neither platform diminishes the expertise of us as the Recruiter. Our skills are still essential to the creation of processes, campaign planning, proactively searching for top talent, and ensuring applicant engagement. AI in this sense simply allows us and our stakeholders more time to focus our efforts on these areas resulting in better applicants, stronger relationships, faster submissions, and carefully planned campaigns.??

Something I’m sure every Hiring Community will be grateful for.?
