Hiring has changed — and fast.
Artificial intelligence is transforming the recruitment landscape. From crafting CVs and cover letters to tailoring job applications, candidates now have AI tools at their fingertips. That means hiring managers and recruiters are seeing more applications than ever before. But with quantity comes a new challenge: volume over value.
The AI Surge in Candidate Applications
AI-powered tools have made it easier for job seekers to apply for roles quickly and at scale. While this democratises the job-hunting process, it also means employers are faced with a flood of applications — not all of which meet the mark.
More applications don’t always mean better ones. That’s where experienced recruiters step in — not to sift through volume manually, but to bring meaningful insight to the process.
The Smart Way to Use AI in Recruitment
We’re not against AI — far from it. Used correctly, it can be a powerful asset in any recruitment strategy. Automating repetitive tasks like CV screening, interview scheduling, and answering initial queries can save hours of admin time. This efficiency allows recruiters to focus on what really matters: finding the right person for the right role.
Why Human Insight Still Matters
AI can’t assess culture fit. It can’t build relationships. It doesn’t understand the nuances of personality, career goals, team dynamics, or long-term potential the way a human can. That’s where we come in.
At Eligo we combine the best of both worlds — technology for speed and scale, and human expertise for accuracy and alignment.
We don’t just fill vacancies; we build partnerships. Our consultants act as career advisors for candidates and talent advisors for clients. That means a full 360° service designed to deliver better outcomes for both sides of the hiring table.
The Bottom Line
AI is here to stay — and we welcome it. But when it comes to the complex, personal, and strategic world of recruitment, nothing replaces the human touch. The future of hiring isn’t AI or people. It’s AI with people.
