The future skill: conversations

At the Recruitment Tech Event, Redstone emphasized the changing nature of technology interaction. Conversations, especially those with technology, are identified as the future skill that recruiters need. Redstone’s keynote at the event focused on this shift and its implications for the recruitment industry.

Candidates and AI: embracing innovation

Hemminga finds it intriguing how candidates leverage AI for various aspects of their job search, including crafting cover letters, curating CVs, and even acting as an interview assistant. The question arises: Is it cheating, or is it a signal to reconsider traditional recruitment practices? Redstone suggests that if recruiters are embracing AI, candidates shouldn’t shy away from it.

Redefining application processes

Cover letters, once considered less significant, gain new relevance with the power of AI. Candidates can dynamically tailor applications, adapt job descriptions, integrate CVs, and generate custom cover letters for each specific opportunity. This transformative capability opens the door to innovative possibilities within the recruitment process.

Bot-to-bot communication as the future?

Redstone envisions a future where bot-to-bot communication becomes prevalent. In such a scenario, candidates could efficiently apply to multiple jobs simultaneously, facilitated by a well-structured system. This vision opens the door to innovative possibilities within the recruitment process.
