Are companies that are heavily reliant on automated recruitment processes missing out on top talent in the UK?
Recent insights from a Collins McNicholas survey reveal that three-quarters of jobseekers feel their applications are unfairly filtered out by AI. It's not just about efficiency - the lack of human interaction is a major turn-off for candidates:
-
74% describe automated rejection emails as impersonal and dismissive.
-
69% say a lack of human interaction would deter them from working with the organisation.
-
54% want more 'human touch' in the recruitment process.
Simon Roderick of Fram Search states the obvious: human empathy and judgement are irreplaceable.
While AI can streamline administrative tasks, the critical decisions and personal touches must remain human-led to maintain brand reputation and attract top talent.-
At PIE we don't believe in automated rejections and personally look through each application.
With successful applicants, we meet with all individuals to bring a brand to life and add a human touch right at the start of the recruitment process.
All feedback from employers is given over the phone, whether successful or unsuccessful it is personalised, detailed and constructive.
We're 100% human here at PIE. We use smart technology where it helps but never where it matters most.
