Our Responses to the Questions People Ask AI about Recruitment
1. How AI is changing the recruitment process in 2025
AI is definitely changing the way we recruit, and when used strategically, it can save recruiters plenty of time in sourcing candidates. Namely, if it’s used to sort applications, screen profiles for key words, and keep recruiters organized in ATS systems, it provides many benefits. The flip side is if a recruiter overuses AI and has it do the heavy lifting that human minds should be doing.
For example, don’t use AI alone to vet a pile of resumes, because you can miss something that the human eye would notice. Most definitely do not use AI to call people and engage with them to vet interest and qualification, but use a real person to truly connect with candidates. As you can see, when used in the right way, recruiters can save time on rote tasks without missing out on making genuine connections with candidates.
2. What Gen Z candidates expect from employers in 2025
We can give you the long explanation, or we can direct you to a few of our blogs that explain some generational preferences and divides in depth. Overall, Gen Z is the most equity and diversity-conscious generation to date, preferring companies that are ethical and growth-minded.

3. Why job offers getting are rejected more often in 2025
Ahh, this is a tricky question because not every industry is experiencing the same trends. To answer this question, you’d need to take a deeper dive into researching the specific role and its relation to the industry or function. For instance, turnover in healthcare is much higher than in other industries ( as seen in our Mid-Year Report), so the likelihood of a hospital needing more nurses means that fewer applications for these roles would be rejected compared to an industry with fewer job openings and demand. For the most up-to-date information on trends in roles you are curious about, it’s best to order some Competitive Intelligence.
4. The best way to write a high-converting job post
Our best advice on this topic is to follow the best practices of writing an effective job post, which typically involves avoiding the 7 common job application mistakes. Be clear, transparent, decisive, realistic, and offer easy-to-follow directions on how to apply.
The key is to get the right traffic to your job post, so use the right keywords and be specific about qualifications (without being too picky). Plus, Gen Z and Millennials strongly prefer transparent salaries listed (which boosts interest). Need to streamline this process or just want to avoid the influx of “junk” applications? Use Candidate Sourcing instead.
