When (internal) HR Meets Reality in AI Recruitment

Our HR clients have recently shared their frustrations with us about the recruitment process for AI talent, particularly when their company's hiring managers, like CIOs or IT Directors, set the bar too high or misaligned with job needs:

1. Unnecessary Technical Demands: They've encountered job specs for roles driving AI initiatives that demand programming skills like Python or TensorFlow mastery, even when the position doesn't involve coding.

2. Incongruent Tool Expertise: There have been instances where AI specialists were expected to know AI tools not even used by the company, creating a steep learning curve for no immediate benefit.

This has led to:

a) Extended Recruitment Timelines: The search for candidates with such specific, sometimes irrelevant skills, drags on.

b) Disappointed Hires: New employees feel misled when their skills aren't utilized as expected, leading to swift departures.

c) Resource Drain: Time and effort are wasted on training for skills that aren't central to the job.

As a recruitment partner, we're taking steps to address these issues:

• Skill-Relevance Focus: We're advocating for job descriptions that highlight what's truly needed for the role, not an exhaustive wish list.

• Setting Realistic Expectations: We work with both HR and hiring managers to ensure job ads reflect the actual job, not an idealized version.

• Post-Hire Support: We facilitate better integration by ensuring there's a clear understanding between the new hire, HR, and the hiring manager about role expectations.

Contact us and let us know your company's AI staffing requirement. Together, we can improve how we recruit for AI roles to benefit everyone involved.
