How to use AI during Your recruiting process
Stop posting jobs. Start telling stories.
Hiring has changed. Candidates expect fast communication, mobile-friendly applications, and quick feedback. Employers need better ways to evaluate applicants, reduce manual screening, and maintain a smooth workflow. This is where AI becomes a powerful ally, not to replace your team, but to streamline your entire process.
At Propel People, our AI recruiting assistant is designed to help growing businesses hire more quickly and confidently. Whether you’re filling a specialized role or keeping a steady pipeline of applicants ready, here’s how to use AI during your recruiting process and the real benefits it can unlock.
Why AI matters in today’s hiring process.
Recruiting often slows down due to repetitive, time-consuming tasks, such as sorting resumes, posting jobs across multiple platforms, asking the same pre-screening questions, and following up with candidates. With AI use in recruitment, those bottlenecks shrink. For employers juggling multiple openings or limited internal hiring support, AI ensures you never lose momentum. AI helps your team:
- Reach more applicants
- Evaluate talent faster
- Automate repetitive tasks
- Keep applicants engaged across multiple channels
- Increase completion rates with easier application options
