  • Beat the bots: the rise of robot recruitment

    Did you know that LinkedIn already existed way before the likes of Facebook, Instagram, and Snapchat? Despite its age, the career networking platform is far from outdated. Nowadays a staggering 94% of recruiters look at your profile in selecting potential candidates. But most of them are not human, so it seems.

    The importance of a solid online profile is greater than ever. Your personal LinkedIn page serves as your digital business card and it’s the most used tool for recruiters in the selection process of new candidates. There are strict requirements, and chances are that you have already been rejected by a robot several times. A robot? Yep, you heard that right. Many companies use robo-recruiters in their search for new employees and only 2 percent of job-seekers manage to get the better of these very strict AI-driven machines. So the question is, are there ways to get past them? The answer is yes, by taking the right steps you will too get that job invite you really want.

    Inevitable shift

    The increasing number of Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) as these robots are officially called, results from the fact that the current job market is more competitive than ever before. Back in 2016 for example, investment bank Goldman Sachs received as many as 250.000 applications for a single vacancy. Not only are there more players entering the field, but competing candidates also tend to become more and more qualified over the years. In the US the percentage of individuals holding a bachelor’s degree or higher increased from 29 to 37 percent between 2000 and 2018, a development that stresses the need for algorithms to filter out the cream of the crop.
