If You Are Not Automating, You Are Already Behind. Recruitment is shifting and automation is going to be a key piece. The shift is happening today in business and it is dramatic. 91% of organizations are using automation, and it is especially prevalent in areas like finance and IT. What is missing is talent and, specifically, recruiting. In fact, while more than 9 in 10 organizations have automated key parts of their business, just 28% are automating more than half of their talent initiatives.
ADAM
In the next five years, recruiting will be driven by innovation.

Most organizations have the basics; an ATS, integration into HRIS and other key tech. Beyond that, there is variability — especially when integrating with hiring partners like RPO and innovative tech. But it is not enough.
REBECCA
Today, recruitment can be more automated than ever. The availability of scalable cloud services and widespread adoption of technology like mobile devices also allows organizations to take advantage of automation in ways that were not available. It is amazing, but there are also many ways of approaching it.

Facing stiff competition, U.S. Security Associates (USA) struggled to attract enough qualified hourly candidates and fill positions quickly enough – causing increased overtime costs and affecting the company’s ability to add new customers.
USA implemented Cielo’s High Volume RPO solution right before peak hiring season and went live in just four weeks. High Volume RPO maximizes the level of automation, while still ensuring a personal touches at the right moments in the process.
Rather than spending countless hours on recruiting and screening, branch managers and staff now only need to manage the in-person interview – getting back valuable time to focus on running and improving their business. They can also be more selective, knowing they will have qualified candidates ready whenever they need them.

There are areas in the recruitment process that make it difficult, if not impossible, to automate. Think about interviewing or offer negotiation. These are areas where you want human interaction.
Since partnering with Cielo in 2015, Quest Diagnostics has been able to hire high quality talent, at a reduced cost, and at an increased speed.
Cielo introduced intelligent automation through Cielo’s SkyRecruit to source hires for a particular high volume hiring position. Out of over 11,000 hires, 3,442 of them resulted from intelligent automated sourcing.

There is a dichotomy and balance that leaders must address between automation and people.
It needs to be done in a strategic way, that addresses the strengths of people and technology.
For every organization, there is a balance between automation and people. But almost everyone agrees that automation works best when it complements people rather than replaces them. Especially in recruiting, finding the right balance between automation and people is an individualized.
REBECCA
Where can organizations get started? It is not wise to just jump into picking parts to automate. We need to think about the experience of candidates and hiring managers -- our key stakeholders in the recruiting journey. Starting with design thinking can help organizations prioritize the right experience for organizations.
REBECCA
Automation and new technologies always has some inherent risks. You have implementation work, adoption and training costs, and long contracts for solutions that you do not know will work.
REBECCA
Prioritizing design thinking can help you think about what you want before you introduce technology by solving the what before the how, understanding the process from beginning to end and managing and mitigating the risks
REBECCA
In the end, we believe that technology is only as valuable as the human experience it improves. At the center of every move to automate or technologize processes, it should be with the end goal of improving experiences.
REBECCA
Cielo takes a clear strategy when we look to balance automation with people. Start with strategy, designing based on our journey, thinking of the meaningful experiences which feeds into what parts you want to automate while giving the process a human touch. Finally, we want to ensure we are focusing on strategic outcomes. Giving users choice and making it personal
