The AI-enabled candidate: One Year on | Robert Newry - ISE Student Recruitment Conference 2024

It’s been eighteen months since ChatGPT went mainstream and one year since many of us sat in an ISE conference hall debating the impact of GenAI on selection.
As of today, there’s no doubt that the AI-enabled candidate has revolutionised Early Careers recruitment forever -- last year data showed that 7 in 10 students were using GenAI on a daily basis… Fresh data captured in the last two weeks reveals that the number is even higher and candidate proficiency in GenAI usage has advanced more rapidly than any of us could have imagined.
Many recruitment teams have already been impacted by candidates' use of auto-apply-AI to generate CVs and cover letters in under 60 seconds -- resulting in a rise in application volume and perceived quality in some cases, before a drop in quality at later stages of the assessment centre.
And yet… the industry debate about whether GenAI is actually going to impact selection and assessment has been hotly contested.
So where do we go from here? In this data-backed session, Arctic Shores’ CEO and co-founder, and the host of the TA Disruptors Podcast, Robert Newry will delve into:
New survey results captured in the last two weeks offer insight into the adoption and attitudes of GenAI among 1,000 early career candidates across demographics, plus analysis on the impact of banning vs embracing usage on the talent pool
Data-backed, practical insight into what the pioneers doing -- featuring rapid-fire case studies and examples of how 5 different companies are evolving their end-to-end recruitment process -- from how they advertise, to how they sift (and what-for) to how they’re adapting their interview process for the era of the AI-enabled candidate
What can we expect to happen next? What do the latest advances in tech and trends in candidate usage tell us about what the next 12 months might bring for Early Careers teams and how should we adapt?
Early Careers teams have always been at the forefront of hiring innovation, and this year will be no different. Expect to leave this session armed with actionable insights, fresh perspectives, and a wealth of data to take back to your colleagues.
