The Great Resignation is a global employment trend that sees significant percentages of workers leave their current employment – and even their industry.

The Great Resignation is a global employment trend that sees significant percentages of workers leave their current employment – and even their industry. Some parts of the world, including North America, are in the thick of it, and it will soon hit the APAC region. The Great Resignation will profoundly impact how we recruit and will be a double-edged sword for many organizations. While there is a chance you will lose some employees, it’s also an excellent opportunity to find great new talent, bringing fresh perspectives and a wealth of experience to your business – if you are ready for it.

Here’s how an AI-driven solution can give you an edge in a busy recruitment market:

Faster hires

As top talent enters the marketplace, competition will be stiff, and those who move slowly risk losing out. AI-driven workflows can significantly speed up your recruitment process, moving the best candidates from pre-screening to interview
stage at lightning speed, with little or no intervention from your team. In fact, impress.ai clients have experienced up to a 90% reduction in time to shortlist.

More accurate, fairer hiring

When you have a large pool of applicants, screening can be an administrative headache. It’s also entirely inefficient and leaves your hiring process open to human bias. An automated workflow can do all of this for you. From screening candidates on basic requirements, such as citizenship status and qualifications,
to assessing and scoring written submissions, progressing only the most suited candidates. With impress.ai, you can achieve up to 50% more accuracy in your hiring, driving your fair hiring agenda and delivering the most talented candidates for the job.

Delivering a better candidate experience

Candidate dropout can be a significant issue for organizations, particularly in a competitive market. One of the leading reasons for this is poor candidate experience, and it’s easy to see why. In a busy market, it’s tough to maintain a consistent, high-quality experience when dealing with a large applicant pool. This is another area where an intelligent, automated workflow can help.With impress.ai, you can create an automated workflow that delivers a high-quality experience from the initial application through to the interview stage. Our employer branding module delivers an on-brand experience at every step, and our customizable chatbots guide candidates through each stage seamlessly. These chatbots can even learn to answer a range of FAQs, so your recruitment is always on, answering candidate inquiries 24/7.

Reducing repetitive tasks and admin

An automated workflow doesn’t just deliver you the best candidates quickly; it also reduces repetitive tasks and admin, giving your team time back to complete higher-value activities further up the chain. For just one client, implementing impress.ai saved an incredible 170+ hours of productivity on graduate program recruitment and reduced costs by over SGD $62,000.
